system11 dumped an alt version of Mahjong Clinic and sorted some info with Thunder Zone dumps. He and Kold666 dumped an alt version of Flicky but I don't think the program roms are different from current dumps. Darksoft sent us a dump of Pingu's Ice Block which is a medal game by Capcom in 2006. We are supposed to be getting a dump of Dodonpachi III from the owner before it sells. Hammy sent us alt versions of Head Panic and Fighting Fantasy.

head panic really needs the flash roms dumping
the '5.bin' rom which is 1bpp of the sprite gfx differs from the other sets, in cases like this 99.9% of the time the other plane data differs too. In this case that data is in the flash roms. ESD were known to change the content of the flash roms between revisions.
it seems to 'work' if you use the sprite roms and background roms from the 2000 version, but there are likely going to be issues on the tiles that are changed.

Good to see more documentation added for sorting out the game/hardware variations. LN's work from a few days earlier is good too.

tnzs.cpp: Update a slew of comments, add most missing pals as undumped, fix some rom labels, add a chart of the different Taito/Seta PCBs covered by tnzs.cpp and the differences between each. [Lord Nightmare] -

Over on handheld scene, another item is emulated, but....

National Semiconductor's QuizKid Racer (COP420 version)
National Semiconductor QuizKid Racer (COP420 version) * COP420 MCU label COP420-NPG/N This is the COP420 version, the first release was on a MM5799 MCU. -
...maybe support for Mattel Electronics Basketball is almost approaching.
*excerpt info from Sean's site*
- National Semiconductor MM5799
MM5799 is a National Semiconductor microcontroller in the COPS I family.
data sheet from 1977 National MOS LSI Databook
The MM5799 has 1.5 K of 8-bit ROM and 96 4-bit nibbles of RAM. It was used in games like Mattel Basketball, Hockey and Soccer, as well as educational calculators like Quiz Kid Racer and Quiz Kid Speller.
In these games, the die is bonded directly to the PCB and protected with a plastic cover. That makes it easier to get die shots, although it's very easy to break the exposed bond wires. The marking on the die says MM4799 instead of MM5799. -
