MAMEWorld Forums - News - Re: How-to guide

Good start regarding saving the Gaelco games and also trying to still keep pcbs running as long as possible. Some of the Gaelco fans can start celebrating.....or maybe wait another few weeks once everything is worked out.

A number of DS5002FP chips were dumped using the method published by Morten Shearman Kirkegaard and Peter Wilhelmsen as documented at (#2484)

http://www.afdelingp.dk/files/articles/ds5002fp/ds5002fp.pdf

namely Touch and Go, World Rally 2, and TH Strikes Back

a 2nd verification pass is still needed on them from additional boards, as bad bits existed in World Rally 2 even prior to extraction (steering logic was broken but bad byte was identified and fixed as the code for that command handler was identical to World Rally 1) and TH Strikes Back is crashing at the first boss (could also be a CPU core issue) Glass was also dumped, but at the time the data wasn't extracted, only the code, and the board has since died, so needs redoing.

btw: for the newbie users....newcommers here.

About 10 years earlier in summer 2007, A. Naive had figured out how to resolve the CPS-3 protection and CPS-3 games were starting to be emulated in MAME. Both old MAME.net and MAMEWorld and other Lev owned ztnet sites were runneth over by the large CPS-3 fanbase and twisty and RocLobsta had to deal with crowds here on MAMEWorld.info site as well. And Haze's blog was overwhelmed and then some after 'kidz' kept hammering his wip updates.

iirc Haze was occasionally getting trolls yelling at him to speed things up.

Almost like a large ton of Star Wars fans cramming into a movie theatre just to see latest Star Wars release.
