Time Scanner is one of those games where we found the decryption key by brute force (which thanks to Aaron is very easy to do now), but we had to guess the contents of the "is data encrypted here" table. Since the memory maps of all these boards are well known, the guessed data is very likely correct. But in the end there's still room for error, and ultimately a known good dump is needed.
All the games marked as having partial keys ([2]) in the following file will need redumping in time, assuming we can find working FD1089s. Though I think this list isn't up to date with some of our recently dumped keys:

I haven't tried Time Scanner in MAME recently so I don't know if the new key will fix anything, but at least having a complete key will mean we know any outstanding gameplay issues aren't encryption related.
Getting Netmerc was pretty incredible, can't wait to see how it turns out!
