Honestly, I wasn't sure where to ask this, so I posted it here. Sorry if I'm missing something though...
Let me start from the beginning. I'm interested in attempting to emulate a certain arcade cabinet, Atari Vegas for my personal amusement and hopefully a benefit to the scene. More specifically, I'm interested in emulating War: Final Assault (my favourite arcade game). Not saying I don't have faith in the MAME team, but it doesn't appear that they are too interested in this cabinet atm, so I'd be happy to take a crack at it while they are busy with other stuff.
So I'm buying the hardware of this arcade cabinet off of eBay and I was wondering how would one dump the contents of the HDD? Do you throw it in your PC and hope it reads? Sorry if this is a n00bish question, just never done this before. The reason I want to dump my own besides keeping my endeavour/experiment legal is because I don't want the HDD image to be in chd format. I'd like to see the raw data files.
Thanks.
