Anyone that does a lot of repair work will already know that Aaron Giles has had a collection of Atari related PAL dumps for a while.
Anyway, I asked and he gave me permission to add these to the ever growing collection.
As far as im aware these are untested but if you have used then could you please let me know.
Thanks very much to Aaron for letting me add these.
I dumped the PAL chip from my FF bootleg today.
Its a strange hybrid using a genuine Capcom CAP1 A board but the B & C board was bootleg.
The PAL was unlocked and is different to a genuine Final Fight 1A PAL chip
Zabanitu tested 3 of the 4 dumps in the M72 archive. All the tested ones worked.
Im not sure where the forth one is from but it is the same file exactly as the one I have listed for R-Type.
I would like to confirm if R-Type uses a different PAL or not. I dont see why it would but you never know.
Until we can confirm it, Ill leave both entries in the table.
Thanks to Zab for testing.
Today has been a good day for the PAL archive.
First of all Andrew96 submitted a tested dump of a PAL from his Terminator 2 PCB.
Next up Dion sent me 19 attachments!
He tells me that they are from an old drive and are to be labelled as untested but from what ive seen they look like valid dumps so there is a good chance that they would work. Im more than happy to have untested dumps too as without them you have pretty much no chance if it goes down. At least this way there is a little hope.
Here is a list of what Dion sent:
Blue Hawk (in a strange format but may still work)
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (A11F bootleg)
Dynasty Wars 2 bootleg
Red Zone
Knights of the Round bootleg
NeoGeo motherboard PALs
play Girls 2
The Punisher bootleg
Raiden
R-Shark
Sailor Moon
Sky Smasher
Sunset Rider bootleg
Super X
Tetris bootleg
Thunder Dragon
Vapor Trail
Zero Team
Massive thanks to both of you and indeed everyone that has ever contributed in any way.
The archive is nearly at 400 entries now!
Zab has dumped two PAL16L8’s from his Bonze Adventure board.
Thanks to Zabanitu for these
