I'm pretty sure the version of Rad Mobile Deluxe I have is a japanese version not currently in mame. (Has japanese text scroll across the screen instead of English in the two versions currently in mame)
How hard realistically is rom dumping and does anyone have a link to a guide?
Also how do you submit to the mamedev team?

Dumping common socketed chips is easy and is a matter or removing them with a screwdriver and putting them in a programmer attached to your PC through USB and reading them out then putting them back on the board. When you get into soldered/surface mount/uncommon types you start to need more and more skills. But common socketed chips like you are talking about are very simple to dump. Guru has a good but in some parts outdated guide:
http://guru.mameworld.info/tutorials/how_to_dump/index.html
You can send roms to the address on the mamedev website or upload them to some place like sendspace and send me a private message with the link.

Great, thanks for that.
Guess I'll try borrowing the eprom burner from work and give it a go.

You are correct. I am guessing BrianT (MAMEdev member) typed up the comment within the source code with the statement that Japanese region yet to be supported.
see source code and how the roms are identified for Rad Mobile Deluxe and other games.

Smit has already answered your questions, but if you can also take photos of the boards such as any closeup of rom labels and location of each ic, if needed, and the pcb part numbers on any of the boards and send those in as well, that will help correctly document the board(s).
