Today we passed a milestone. Over 700 entires are now in the archive.
There are most likely more dumps than entries as some unknown ones are in ZIP files as a set.
Thank you everyone who has contributed over the past 3.5 years that this project has been running.
Please keep submitting them if you have them.
Ive added a set of 10 PAL dumps from Taito Enforce.
They are all in their original format right now and are untested so please test them out if you can.
We have had a zip file for Choplifter in the archive for a while now and I finally got the chance to test them.
One of them was a CK2605 which I dumped myself as a PLS153 and is assumed working but the other two were from a PAL16R4 device and they both work fine.
Got a Jaguar console for cheap as I originally wanted the cartridge slot but like so many of my idea’s like that I ended up repairing it and not wanting to harvest parts from it.
This was sold as not powering up. Its important to know from the start that the Jaguar will not power on without a cartridge inserted but in this case it made no difference.
Opening it up and removing the metal shield allowed me to see the problem straight away and it is apparently a relatively common fault.
The voltage regulator IC has blown.
I ordered a new one and fitted it and now it at least powers up.
I haven’t really been able to test it yet as I don’t have a Jaguar AV cable. Also this version of Jaguar didn’t have an RF modulator fitted as it was the French ‘Peritel’ version.
Ill tap the signals some day and properly test this thing out so if it doesn’t work then it looks like ill have my cartridge slot after all.
As I get more experienced and learn new things in programming I like to go back and update my programs to test things out.
After many unreleased version updates and the end of 2014 approaching I’ve finally got to a point where I think an update is due.
Here is version 3.3.2 if BINman.
For those that aren’t familiar with it, I originally wrote this program in 2012 to allow me to quickly byteswap and interleave ROM files. Since then I’ve been adding to it as I needed the extra functionality.
There isn’t a great deal new here but the code has been overhauled quite a lot and is hopefully bug free.
There is also a basic hex viewer now too. It is basic but ive wanted to include one for a while now and here it is.
I hope other find this as useful as I do.
