I dumped 3 PAL chips found in a Gradius 2 board set.
The board set is not fully operational so I have not marked them as tested in case one of these chips is at fault.
I have also dumped the PLS173 chip on this board but it looks very suspicious so I have not included it. If anyone has a dump of this chip or its equations I would be interested in seeing it.
Thanks
Today I’ve dumped all the PALs from an original (by TAD Corporation) Toki PCB.All dumps are tested working in a GAL16V8 target device.There are also other two programmable logic devices on this board (two bipolar PROMS) whose dumps I’m gonna to send to MAME team in order to improve emulation of this funny and addictive game.
My colleague Porchy today dumped two PAL chips I sent him some days ago.They were both 24 pin PLD and both were reversed into a GAL22V10 target device.One is from a Bucky O’ Hare, the other from a Martial Champion, both original PCB.The first was tested by me and it’s working, the latter is untested since my board is faulty.Anyway, now we have complete PAL dump set of these two games.
Found another PAL on the lower PCB that I had originally missed. This is now dumped.
Since I was working on an original Taito Liquid Kids PCB I took the chance to test the PAL dumps from the archive already present on the database.I found that all of them were correct and working in a GAL16V8 but the last one wasn’t.So I redumped this PAL and added also the missing PCB location to the filenames.
