Got a couple of homebrew releases recently.
First up is the fantastic R-Type remake for the Amstrad CPC (128k version)
Sent as a thankyou for reversing the Amstrad 6128 PAL chip.
IMAG0659

Ive played this on the emulator before and it craps all over the official release.

Next up is a C64 cartridge game called C64anabalt. Ive also played this before on emulation and loved it so thought it was time to get the real thing.

Due to caius sending me a complete set of dumps from the same board set and also confirming the single PAL dump I already had for the board was a match I have removed this duplicate.

Thanks caius

caius has sent a nice set of PAL dumps from Cadillacs and Dinosaurs bootleg in.
As there is no usable IDs on the board he has also taken the time to mark them up on a photo.

Thanks very much to caius for these

Kiki Kaikai bootleg and Super Pang bootleg PALs

caius has been busy again. This time we have a set of PALs from a Kiki Kaikai bootleg board and the last PAL we have missing from the Super Pang bootleg set.
Kiki Kaikai had no locations silkscreened or ID markings so they have been labelled PAL1-PAL5. There is an image showing the locations which can be found in the archive table.
Also, PAL2 needed to have pin 12 disconnected from the PCB to work. caius has modified the dump so the GAL chip can fit straight in without the need to remove the leg. Both versions are available just in case though.

Thanks again to caius

Bonky and neocps1 sent me a tested working GAL file of MS22B.
We already have the MS24B version but this is for the Japanese version of the game.

Thanks to Bonky and neocps1 for this.
