Today we have some new PAL dumps.

Coolmod sent in dumps from a Taito Cameltry PCB, they were obtained from three unsecured PAL16L8, I took care of converting them to GAL16V8 fuse map and he successfully tested them back on board.He sent also a dump of an unsecured GAL22V10 found on the gun I/O board of an Invasion – The Abductors PCB  ( light gun rail shooter released by Midway in 1999), board was faulty so we assumed this dump as working.Thanks to him for the contribution.

I redumped the PLDs from a Vapor Trail PCB after testing the dumps we had and realized they didn’t work except one.Devices on my board were five secured GAL16V8 labeled by hand from ‘0’ to ‘4’.

In the past days I got two working Taito F3 boards (PCB version) : Grid Seeker and Super Cup Finals).So I could test the dumps we had from Arabian Magic (thanks to ‘luiskiko’).Some dumps were from PALCE devices so I could successfully test them on GAL without any conversion, the remaining where from PAL devices so I first converted them in GAL format.PAL location and marking are the same between Arabian Magic and Grid Seeker since boards have same layout while Super Cup Finals has a slighty different one but it shares all the PALs (at different location) except for one which is unique and one with different label but same contents.

Today we have some new PAL dumps.

Coolmod sent in dump from a Sonic Wings Limited PCB, device was an unsecured PALCE16V8 @IC1 (on the ROM board) labeled ‘SonyMo’.Thanks to him.

I dumped the PALs (two unsecured and unmarked PALCE16V8) from a DoDonPachi PCB.

All dumps have been successfully tested in a GAL16V8 or PALCE16V8
