Anyone that does a lot of repair work will already know that Aaron Giles has had a collection of Atari related PAL dumps for a while.
Anyway, I asked and he gave me permission to add these to the ever growing collection.

As far as im aware these are untested but if you have used then could you please let me know.
Thanks very much to Aaron for letting me add these.

I dumped the PAL chip from my FF bootleg today.
Its a strange hybrid using a genuine Capcom CAP1 A board but the B & C board was bootleg.
The PAL was unlocked and is different to a genuine Final Fight 1A PAL chip

CPS1 C board repair log

Its a little known fact that whilst doing some major testing recently I accidentally blew up my B-21 C board.
Ive looked around a bit but these things are getting difficult to find for a reasonable price these days.

On a CPS2 motherboard there is a B-21 chip.

I have a scrap one so I thought it was time to do a transplant so I removed the chips off each board and set about swapping them

This is the end result. It looks worse than it actually is in the photo but make no mistake, its by no means the neatest of jobs.

Anyway, time to boot this thing up

NICE! Happy days

M72 PALs tested

Zabanitu tested 3 of the 4 dumps in the M72 archive. All the tested ones worked.
Im not sure where the forth one is from but it is the same file exactly as the one I have listed for R-Type.
I would like to confirm if R-Type uses a different PAL or not. I dont see why it would but you never know.

Until we can confirm it, Ill leave both entries in the table.

Thanks to Zab for testing.
