That's actually one of the first sites I came across. If I had a blank 246 dongle or even one for a different game, I'd send it to the guy and pay him for a flash/reflash, but alas, I do not have one.
My brother informed me that his boss wanted me to search for one since he though buying straight from namco would be ridiculously expensive, as stated in a previous post, but it seems he has no option. He could always just throw it away and replace the $5000 machine >.>
I told my brother's boss he's pretty much f'd unless he's willing to shell out the bucks for namco's price, since I'm not going to lurk ebay/yahoo japan auctions for a year or two without at least being on a minimum wage payroll.
Anyway, thanks for everyones help. I didn't really think it would be possible to obtain a dongle within a reasonable price on a third-party market anyway, especially with a game that was first made 8 years ago.
Glad I could get a meaningful/professional answer from at least one site.
