I dumped Gynotai and Kale got it running





recreativas.org dumped Gaelco Salter Cardioline

Bill D. dumped Sky Challenger (ST-V cart)





PascalP sent a rare ST-V cart Nerae Super Goal to Bill D. and he dumped it. It boots to an error (on real hardware and mame) possibly due to a missing trackball I/O or Medal Hopper





Arcade-Projects sent us dumps of Gundam Seed VS Z.A.F.T SED1 DVD and a DragonBallZ DB1 DVD redump. ClawGrip dumped Twins (Ecogames, 1993) which I think is the original version of the game.

I really wonder how many of these STV Gambling / Redemption games there are, it seems it was Sega's primary platform for them for quite a while.

Placa principal de Salter Cardioline, basado en el hardware de Touch and Go (1995).

Congrats to the contributors over there.

This now resolves the Gaelco "Salter" entry and what the product actually was.....A mix of 90 percent physical workout with 10 percent gaming fun combination compared to Namco's Prop Cycle which was 10 percent gaming fun mixed with 90 percent workout.

I can see why Namco made sure the cycle cab design was to appear to be a fun product for the kids at arcades because if kids saw the cab as a regular gymnasium cycle unit with monitor built in, they would avoid it at all cost like as if it were a elementary grade school / PE class torture event (think the old PE class dodgeball sport).



btw: See old Gaelco thread....mainly dave00 's old post for reference.

Last Km was an arcade prototype while Salter not, It was done for a exercise equipment manufacturer of the same name, as a part of their product line. According to a Gaelco ex-worker, 'Salter game' was launched (around 1995) and It's possible they have elements in common between 2 games (or even the game reused to Salter). We're trying to contact Salter to get more info, catalogue or anything related.

I would say the biggest surprise to me over the past 20 years with gyms is that this sort of thing didn't catch on and take over. Integrating videogames could have made gyms fun, instead they still use the most boring equipment imaginable and just post an equally boring tv displaying complete garbage.

The fitness centers would then have to probably divide the cycle section with 'boring adults section with tvs set' and then the 'gamers' section with integrated vid game play to cycle units.


iirc in a past interview, maybe 4 or 5 years ago with a comedy actor, maybe it was LA Times interview, but I don't remember who the comedy actor that was interviewed. The actor had said that writers were drafting a script in one of scenes that was to take place inside a fitness center in which cycle fitness units similar to the Salter unit were to be fitted with redemption tickets being printed out from each cycle unit. Whenever a person was done, they would go to the redemption bar and exchange the tickets for sweets such as candy bars, soda, etc.

It was meant to be a secondary comedy prop (think of the many multiple comedy props involved with movie "Airplane") that was part of the movie, but the budget and movie business micro-managers said "too expensive and maybe an invitation to protests or lawsuits" and script writers were told to go with something else.

We still have to find the PCB for the stepper, as it's a different game (I've seen one for sale, but too far and too expensive to buy it).

Anyway, it's nice to have it dumped!

It would be nice also to find a unit we can "destroy" to have the I/O MCU dumped somehow...

Thanks.

ST62T15C6. We tried to dump it, but it was protected.

There was also a second external I/O board, made by Polar (www.polar.com), probably for the pulsometer and body fat meter, with nothing to dump on it.

hmm yeah not even something that's common / easily dealt with afaik

can probably be simulated (I imagine a lot of the sensor data will have to be too)

Maybe it inspired the 'Black Mirror' episode where people ride a gym bicycle which powers the city and rewards them with credits.

Oh my god, now I can relive my early-2000s gym days from the comfort of my home! :O

Thank you to all involved, indeed.
