Midway T-Unit sound board PAL dump

channelmaniac contacted me a couple of weeks ago looking for a dump of the PAL16L8 chip from a Mortal Kombat sound PCB.
I didnt have it so asked about and luckily Asure had one on his workbench in the Netherlands which he was allowed to send to me for dumping.
The label for Mortal Kombat is A-5346-40025-9

Asure also sent me. among others, the PAL chip from an NBA Jam sound board. This is labelled A-16422. Turns out this chip is identical in behaviour to the Mortal Kombat one. For this reason ive labelled the dump as being for “Midway T-Unit sound board”

channelmaniac has confirmed this dump is working.

Thanks to Asure for providing this.
Seriously good effort here on behalf of everyone involved. Good to see everyone helping each other.

Picked one of these up for a reasonable price recently.

Its in very good condition and it works too.
Time to open it up and see whats inside.

This thing is a computer in itself with a processor, ROM and RAM. You can install JiffyDOS into this as well but im going to leave it alone as my SD2IEC will be the thing getting the most use, this item is just a nice to have.

Like with the BB2 proto, these will be of no use to anyone really. What makes them even more useless is the fact that one of the PALs is missing so we cannot even get the game up and running.
A massive shame that 1 little chip can essentially destroy this unique item but this is exactly the reason why I started the PAL dumping mission.
