Trying to get a handle on the TSE concept between games, as from what I've read, it's generally in BB1 machines.
But as you can play BB1 games on BB2. That changes things up a bit!
I have games that need a fooler. And also a fooler card CF to "make" a true TSE box act as a fooler. Of course you need it if the game used a custom light topper, and if it had that, something other than the top screen, it of course wouldn't display anything on the top screen of a BB2.
But it isn't clear if all games that need a TSE board will display video on the top monitor of a BB2 if you have an actual TSE board with the proper CF in. I read it says on BB2 you don't connect a real TSE board's VGA to the top monitor, you leave the video connected to the BB2 brainbox. BB1's needed the video from the TSE to drive the top monitor (if the game used one and you had a dual screen BB1).
Are there games which would actually utilize the top screen on a BB2 with a true TSE board and the correct CF in it for the game?
Or will it always show a blank or WMS screen regardless if you have a true TSE board with proper CF, or a fooler card. If my BB2E will never have top video in any game with a TSE board. Even one that has the proper CF in the TSE. Then it doesn't make sense to get a true TSE board, and just get a fooler card.
Thanks!
