Some days ago ‘Palindrome’ created by hand  the missing ‘VA63B’ PAL dump from Varth: Operation Thunderstorm (USA 920612) CPS1 board and Tafoid submitted it to MAME source.Today Tafoid gave me permission to add it to our database.As said, this is not the real dump from PAL device but a manual recreation of its equations.Anyway Palindrome tested it and reported it as working on his board.Thanks to Tafoid and Palindrome.

UPDATE

I can confirm the PAL is 100% working since I succesfully tested it in my Varth converted PCB.

I dumped another PAL from the Jumping board today. Like the other this one was unlocked so now we have a full set of PAL dumps for the Rainbow Islands bootleg.
This PAL is found on the lower PCB of the stack.

muddymusic dumped the PAL from his U.S Navy CPS1 board and has tested it. It is marked as CA22B.
Ive also got a Jumping board from muddymusic’s which I am currently working on. There is a PAL20L8 chip that does the address decoding for the CPU which is now dumped. At this point Ive not tested it as the board set is in bits but I will test as soon as I can. The device is also unlocked so im pretty confident the dump will be OK.

Elgen has dumped and tested the PAL chip found on both Gunbird and Sengoku blade.
The one found on Gunbird is marked 3020 and the one found on Sengoku Blade is marked 4040 but they are identical.

Thanks to Elgen for this.

Another TAITO PAL dumps after the Kuri Kinton ones.Today I’ve dumped the PALs from an original Dr. Toppel Tankentai PCB ( a cute shooter similar to Parodius or Detana Twinbee).Dumps are tested and working in a GAL16V8 device.Just a note : two of the four PALs are also found on Insector X and The New Zealand Story PCBs.
