Yup. We use the DSP images exactly as they come from popular device programmer/readers. Hence if you can find a field-programmable 7725 the MESS images will allow you to make replacement (or, perhaps more intriguingly, modified) SNES DSP-1s with no further work. I happen to think these readers prefer sub-optimal formats in many instances (e.g. 16-bit wide ROMs for big-endian systems have their bytes swapped and 772x dumps have the 0xFF padding) but standardization and consistency trump ideology for ROM formats.

This is what helps keep MAME from being a completely dirty word with the cabinet collecting "big boys", incidentally. Our ROM set is their repair workbench.
