Bubble Bobble 2 prototype PALs

Ive now added all the PAL dumps I took from the prototype Bubble Bobble 2 and Taito F3 motherboard.
I know that these may be completely useless to everyone else in the world but they are here anyway and muddymusic may require them at some point in the future.

The PALs I took from the motherboard may actually work on a normal f3 motherboard so would be interested in testing that theory.
Also, the two PAL20L10 chips on the second PCB of the ROM board didn’t seem to dump properly so I recreated them myself. As a result these are for GAL22V10 devices and I have tested them.

I haven’t tested any of the other as I didn’t really want to keep powering this board on and off needlessly.

Dumping Taito F3 Bubble Bobble 2 prototype

Well its been a very exciting couple of days in the geek world.
dsyde and muddymusic sent me a prototype Bubble Bobble 2 (Bubble Symphony) PCB to dump.

Its been really fascinating seeing this game as its date is nearly a whole year before its actual release and there is a lot different too.
The main thing for me is the music. At this stage of development they were using an orchestral version of the original BB theme music and I love it.

Support for this game has now been added to MAME thanks to Haze and should be in the next release.

Thanks so much to dsyde and muddymusic for allowing this to happen. You’ve made this geek very happy.

channelmaniac from arcadecomponents.com very kindly send in 3 dumps from a Super Pac-Man PCB.
They look like good dumps from unlocked chips. I will get round to converting them to GAL format but if anyone can test these it would be appreciated.

Thanks to channelmaniac

caius and robotype sent me 4 more PLDs from a Namco System 2 board, in this case it was Ordyne.
Three of them are already in GAL16V8 format and have been tested. The forth is from an unlocked PAL12L10 and as of yet we have yet to convert it and test it.

Thanks once again to caius and robotype
