Ordyne dumped what appears to be the original Lost World (older revision, build 24 June 1998 where the currently dumped version in mame is Rev A / July 8th 1998).
Ordyne also dumped an early German version of Dirt Devils.
CAPS 0ff readout the chip from Great Swordsmen that Starrider sent us.
Corrado dumped the Euro version of Gondomania.
Porchy dumped the CK2605 on Hang On.

Glad to see that happening. Starrider's original Great Swordsmen board that he purchased to be dumped got wrecked by that charlatan Dr Decapitator.

Get it through your head, because MAME devs have said it before: He wasn't a charlatan. He was an incredibly talented, incredibly well-paid dude who was ostensibly volunteered by others to take on way more work for free than he ultimately was able to handle on his own.
The fact of the matter is that all or almost all of the chips that he attempted to dump were happily handed over, by him, to the Caps0ff team. Who, themselves, have been progressing at a relatively glacial pace.
So quit it with this "Urrrgh evil Dr. Decapitator, yay, amazing and miraculous Caps0ff" nonsense.

The issue with him was he should have immediately returned all the chips to Guru when he quit. He didn't get the chips to caps0ff for several years, all the while everyone who contributed over the years thinking they were ripped off.

The issue with the last one of these was that no-one was quite sure how to map the mask ROM geometry, so the program came out garbled. Apparently Dr Decap knew how to do it, and given good images, someone can work it out eventually.

afaik the new dump isn't an optical one, but a regular readout. there might still be issues with it however. somebody who knows the architecture really needs to make a call on it.
