Smitdogg Reged: 09/18/03 Posts: 16877 Send PM DU Update: And now, Weekend Update with Smitdogg Jones 11/10/12 07:09 PM Reply Andrew Welburn dumped Haunted Castle Revision E. I dumped the eeprom out of Dodge City which should be its protection code. Bonky dumped an alternate Street Fighter II YYC hack. ShouTime loaned us GUN SURVIVOR 2 BIOHAZARD CODE: Veronica, BHF2 Ver E. I'm in the middle of a few deals but the box from Japan is still going to be a ways off because I am adding more games to it. It's time I mention something about the big picture. Over the past couple of years and especially really recently, the number of "dump and emulate" games has dwindled down to jack squat, even for clones. The vast majority of what is left undumped and showing up for sale are PC based games because that is what makes up most of the past 10 or so years of arcade game hardware. So a lot of the donation money is going to start going toward PC based games that probably won't run in mame for a long time unless there is some new change where devs will use a PC's CPU and RAM on them directly, working like some sort of loader. Or it could be that mame skeleton drivers a ton of PC based games and someone else comes along with a massive loader program to run them for now. I have pushed for easily emulatable stuff for as long as I could but we've gotten almost all of it all now other than what collectors are hoarding or what is out of the sane price range (thousands). You can go through PCB shop's entire stock lists and auction sites and most of the time there is nothing undumped other than PC based games. There are a ton of games from the past ~10 years that were PC based and they will disappear if we don't get them, a lot of them are old as dirt in arcade years. On the upside, we can often get them cheaply by just buying discs or discs and dongle or a hard drive and dongle, with only one motherboard needed to dump bioses from. But anyway, I will still give easily emulated stuff priority when possible, but they are quickly becoming impossible to find and a lot of the PC based games are starting to get torn down and parted out, and that is when we strike.
