Being a Windows user and sometimes favoring GUI’s over command line stuff I decided to make my own program to calculate the signatures for the fluke 9010.
This program is a simple drag and drop affair and processes 1 file at a time. Directory scanning is not present in this program.
These are from a large archive that ive had for ages.
These are completely untested and still in whatever format the original device was. I have looked at them to make sure they are not dumps of locked devices but nothing else.
The games are:
Badlands
Birdie King 2
Dragon Saber
Darwin 4078
Double Dribble
Elevator Action Returns
EspGaluda
Express Raider
Hot Shots Tennis
Puzzle Bobble 2X
Sly Spy
Space Invaders 95
Space Invaders DX
The Legend of Kage
Thunder Fox
As always, all feedback on the operation of these files is welcome and credit will be given to testers.
It has recently been found out that on B boards 93646B-3 and 93646B-4 there is a suspected routing error for one of the pins from PAL 3.
This means that if you are doing a game conversion using on of these B boards, you cannot natively use the BGSB3G PAL chip, you will have to either lift pin 9 of the PAL and solder a wire to C13 of connector CN3 or use PAL BGSB3F, lift pin 7 and solder a wire to C13 of connector CN3.
Long ago I needed a program to interleave 2 binary files together. At the time SirMorris over at the RCM forum made one up and it did the job nicely.
Since that time, ive got into programming myself and decided to make my own program that did exactly the same thing. From then, I kept adding bits to it to make my life a little easier and focused on ease and speed of use. Its now progressed into something that I use regular when dealing with ROM’s and things.
It can:
Interleave 2 files
Deinterleave files
Split files
Swap upper and lower portions of a file
I’ve had quite a surprising number of people tell me they also found it useful which is nice.
Found this on my NSS board. It had “V3” written on a label in pen so couldnt verify if it was original or not so never submitted it to MAME.
Ive since been told my the author of the NO$ emulators that its seems to be legit.
