caius has dumped one of the missing CPS2 motherboard PAL chips marked BGSA1. Not sure how or why ive missed this in the past but its here now and I have tested it.
There is one last remaining PAL chip to dump but this is a registered device so we will have to wait for a bit longer before having a dump of that one.
Thanks to caius
Well today has certainly taken a turn for the worst with the news that a very knowledgeable and helpful guy called Francesco, known on the forums as Zabanitu has died in road accident.
Zab has contributed much to my site over the last year and a half and always had time for me if I needed to ask him anything, Ive also heard others say the same.
Rest in peace Zab, you will be a great loss to your friends and family as well as the arcade community.
caius has dumped 5 PALs from a Robocop 2 board.
All tested and ready to go on a GAL16V8.
Thanks caius
As I now have a lot of Spy Hunter boards to fix I thought it best to hack together some kind of test box.
I now have an Absolute Position PCB so the rest is just wiring.
Here is the finished product.
Ive tested this today on a board set and it works very well. The only think left to add to my Spy Hunter test rig is Cheap Squeak support.
That will probably be added once all these boards have been repaired though.
Elgen has dumped 3 more PALs from Wizard Fire.
As with the other one these are untested due to the board being a non worker.
Thanks to Elgen
