If this happens, this will be great seeing the alternate versions being preserved. I hope there might be some other prototype Midway games that might appear as well.

I have been looking for these roms and been posting on KLOV and elsewhere to try and get people to dig them up.
I don't have a reddit account. Can someone ask about the MK Prototype sent to Videogames and Computer Entertainment Magazine for February 1993, which allowed Sonya to fight reptile... I have tried to reach out to the author in the magazine article via his work contact (still in video game industry) but he never responded.
Can someone ask about this MK roms set.
See below for Trummell's response re dumping roms. He loves mame.

Just as a fun story related to Midway, an acquaintance of mine in the games industry once told me a tale of being told to go fuck himself by Ed Boon.
As the story goes, he happened to buy an MK3 or UMK3 cabinet, and at the time Midway were doing a promotion with Taco Bell or something where they would periodically give away codes to unlock certain characters. Well, this was back before video games had EULAs, and Midway didn't think someone would spend $5000 and then do this, so he dumped the ROMs himself, disassembled the game's code, found all of the button combos, and posted them online. Midway, in turn, hastily issued a set of update ROMs that changed the codes and vaguely encrypted them. I say "hastily", because apparently there was a bug where one of the codes didn't work - he created a fix for it, e-mailed it to Ed Boon, at which point Ed Boon told him to go fuck himself.
