I kinda have 2 questions. 1) Do most of the Plug & Play TV games use a type of chip that holds the game data? I know they wouldn't have the same number of ROM chips like a full blown arcade PCB would have but hear me out...
If so; 2) Could the data on that/those chips be dumped or extracted in some way and added to something like MisfitMAME? Just asking if it's possible, not concerned if it's legal or whatever.
The reason I ask is because I ordered a Plug & Play TV game from Japan. The Taito Nostalgia 1. It has... 2 games on it, and hacks or "Arranged" versions of each of those games for a (more technical) count of 4 games total.
I should be getting it a few days from nowMonday or Tuesday. If nobody can answer the first question -as in- if it depended on what the hardware uses to store the game data -then that's fine. Maybe I can open it up and take a look inside.
I seem to have read somewhere that if a game has the black blob then this sort of thing might not be possible.
