Nuts...I forgot to mention Dallas or whatever the name is, but nevermind about that part. But good to see some updates along the way for improving Master Boy. What Charles had done back in 2006 was impressive itself in getting game data extracted and allowing game to be eventually emulated. Guru and maybe a couple others had posted in previous years of no way that Master Boy could be emulated since Gaelco protected the game pretty well. Guru's work is very good, but it was nice to see Charles prove Guru wrong for that one game.
Anyway, I hope what can be done with getting around Dallas mcu protection can help save Gaelco games and allow pcb owners to keep their Gaelco pcbs in working order for another decade or so.
