Smitdogg - Bubble Bobble dump?

Hey guys, I noticed for a while that Bubble Bobble is marked as "no good dump", but I only just remembered that I own what is ostensibly a Bubble Bobble PCB. I say ostensibly because it was purchased on eBay more than a decade ago and has never been powered on. Also I can't see any "Taito" or other plain text on either level of the board.
But, it does seem to have the ROMs that are undumped: (faintly marked I, II, III for some reason)
PAL16L8CN 1 of 2
PAL16L8CN 2 of 2
PAL16R4A
Anyway, if there isn't a dumping already in progress, I imagine that I can find someone here in Toronto to dump them.. Unless anyone has a recommendation?
(Edit: Oh, I'm addressing this to Smitdogg because I've donated to the Dumping Union a couple of times and I don't really know who else knows about the subject.)

Those are pals, so they need Charles' special reader and probably nobody in Toronto has it. But more importantly, it looks like your board is a bootleg, so bootleggers could have used custom content in them so I wouldn't bother.

If the bootleggers used custom content, it wouldn't help much with getting a complete dump of the original game.
However, not sure if this is still the case ..... It used to be that if there were significant differences between the game and what has already been dumped, then it should still be dumped, even if it is a bootleg. The "significant" means that the changes have to be something other than just a title or copyright message hack (change "Invaders" to "Aliens " or similar). So, if the game has different attract mode, game play, graphics, levels, etc, then it should still be dumped.

We're talking about pals, not roms, and from a bootleg. Even if they were dumped we'd be lucky to get them reference-loaded. No chance in hell they would be hooked up in a way that affects the emulation, probably no chance of that even if they were pals for the original. All these would do is allow other bootleg owners to fix their board if a pal died on them and they happened to have a programmer that supported a compatible gal and they understood the jed utility etc. And Charles has about 100 more important things to do that he already doesn't have time for.

I would dump them anyway; They could be added to whatever bootleg bubble bobble set matches yours that is already in mame, at the very least.
