Today ‘coolmod’ sent to MAME Dumping Union mailing list the dumps from his Dead Connection PCB (two layer Japanese revision on Taito F2 hardware).Dumps were obtained from two PAL16L8 devices so I took care of converting them to GAL16V8 format.Replacements have been successfully tested by ‘coolmod’.Thanks to him for this contribution.
Today our member Corrado sent in the PAL dumps from a Sengoku Ace PCB.They are all tested into GAL16V8 targeting device.Thanks to him for this contribution.
Today some addition to our PAL database.With courtesy of user ‘tinhead’ on the EEVBlog forums we can host his recreations of registered PLDs found inside the Hi-Lo Systems ALL-07A EPROM programmer (which I personally use).You can read more about here:

Speaking about arcade PLDs, I successfully reversed into a GAL18V10 targeting device the dump made by Porchy from the PLS153 marked ‘315-5298’ found on some Sega System16B ROM boards (171-570 and 171-5521).
Today, after repairing it, I dumped the PALs from a Sega Mega Play PCB.There were six devices, I was able to reverse three of them, one was already dumped by Porchy from a Mega Tech PCB.The remaining two use latches so a deeper analysis is required.
Today we have an important Sega PLD update.After verifying the Out Run dumps we had (having confim they match the ones from my board) I was able to reverse and successfully tested into GAL18V10 devices two of them (original chips were one CK2605 and one PLS153).
Always in Sega, I dumped and successfully tested into GAL devices four PLDs (three CK2605 and one PLS153) from an original Fantasy Zone PCB on System16A hardware.
