>He also has Biplane 4 which is a huge bezel and Steeple Chase

Photos of Fun Games' Biplane 4 cab, (along with actual gameplay video if possible) would be interesting since who knows if the game has a monitor overlay piece mounted on top of the monitor or if any overlay piece is used. Maybe overlay piece could be taped onto backside of the bezel piece which is what the overlay piece used with Ramtek Clean Sweep is designed (blue sheet piece that provides color visual over the monitor is literally taped onto backside of Clean Sweep bezel piece).

Proms have already been dumped/documented in MAME, but neither Steeplechase nor BiPlane 4 are emulated yet since there will be lots of netlist work yet to be done before either game can be emulated. iirc that BiPlane 4 has multiple pcbs in a rack environment which means even lots more work involved of emulating that type of game compared to say Steeplechase which has either one or two boards used. I don't recall if Steeplechase has a digital pcb and an analog pcb working in tandem like their other non-cpu games or maybe Atari was able to get Steeplechase hardware crammed onto a single non-cpu pcb like LeMans was iirc.


The already dumped Steeplechase roms (done by Andy Welburn some time ago) should be reliable in case if needing to repair/replace any roms on a Steeplechase pcb although it would be ideal if Steeplechase can ever be emulated in MAME later to verify the data.
