I'm hoping for a decap on that Namco C139 because the contents on that chip aren't known (unless someone can confirm). I think it's an MCU because of how responsive that controller is (tested it with Cyber Cycles, Time Crisis 2 and Motocross Go). Would be nice to see a non Sega game with networking emulated.
