This part requires assistance of any pcb owners that might have the pcb in their collection and have equipment for being able to make read backups of the roms on the pcb.

For example, American Soccer was first listed as unreleased because "Shimapong" had info from a Japanese magazine that listed American Soccer as unreleased, prototype game. And that is what Bobby T. (unMAMEd) used as his reference. And then Kevin came along and ruined things.

*j/k* ;-)

- 27th June 2010: Smitdogg - Kevin Eshbach dumped American Soccer by Universal! It's a newer version of Indoor Soccer. Note: Unmamed has this listed as unreleased. That's apparently wrong but it is quite rare and a nice score.

A similar thing probably happened many years earlier when Brain was first supported back then in late 1990s. That's the way it is with some items seeming to appear from nowhere because someone came across a pcb with an unknown or unheard of game title such as Uncle Poo.

>and if perhaps there is a board out there with a correct checksum?

Brain will require a pcb owner that has the game to dump and verify roms from the pcb. It should be on the want list if it already hasn't been listed earlier.
