Dumping Union News: The Next Big Opportunity

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:04:34 -0500

First a little news, some stuff Team Japump has been doing lately... They got the MCU from Chak'n Pop to decap, Lupin III for help with the discrete sound and the recent clone added, Safari Rally to check discrete sound, and they got a newer version of Space Fever. And of course the MCU from Hacha Mecha Fighter that I mentioned previously:

I still can't announce the other super old games they got recently because they are still sorting them out, but they have a bunch of good stuff in the works, and are also working at the moment on getting 2 more Taito titles from the Steel Worker era. BTW I don't think I've mentioned it here before but a couple of DU members, siftware and f205v, have their own sites. We can't link to them here as their sites link to some roms but if you look around you'll find them, if you haven't already. Anyway they've been doing some pretty cool stuff recently if you want to check it out.

In other news, thanks to F. Achberger we got the Wrestle War MCU for decapping:

I also pulled a protection chip from High Impact for decapping and I was able to get a refund on the Golden Axe mixup.

On to the situation at hand... We need some big time donations! The games from the 8080 era are really starting to die off as you probably already know, and simply put, if we don't get these now, we may never get them.

A bunch of these games have just become available in Japan and only for the next few days. So if you can afford to, we really need donations. They will all get sent to Team Japump (everything I currently have plus everything that comes in in the next few days). So if you can help out, click the donation button below!

Thanks to the donators so far!

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 05:47:22 -0500

"Me and Phil Bennett moved our efforts over Midnight Landing, the first of the Taito Landing series. The main issue was mostly the “dot writings” that are the characteristic “night drawing” of this game."

So besides a couple of things in transit and a small reserve we have in Japan to go towards the next "super old" game, we are out of donations, so if you can afford to donate please consider clicking here so we can continue to research and buy more old arcade games needing to be backed up.

OK so it's probably not actually "Babe Ruth" but that's what it was sold as :-P

Thanks to MrGoodwraith we have, well, from the rom names and text inside one of them, the correct name is more likely "Sports Authority". It's running on the GEI Multi Game System. Pics:
