>I didn't realize it had been dumped already.
Same here. I didn't know that Atari game was already dumped.
>I know on some old boards the ROMs have been bad. I think that was a problem with >Bazooka. I'm sure gregf would know more about that one.
I am not sure with PSE Bazooka. The one that I am aware of that might be good is Allied Leisure Street Burners because another owner confirmed their data from roms from their own Street Burners board set matches Street Burners roms that were dumped by siftware earlier. Both Adam and Rich have schematics of Allied Leisure's Street Burners, but being a multiple board game, it might be a while before Street Burners is emulated.
>With so few TTL games emulated now, I'm not surprised they're focusing on the ones with >good schematics available.
I figure almost all the Atari games have best chance and second might be Midway and maybe Exidy provided that roms/proms are still readable from some of the hard-to-find Exidy pcbs.
>But at some point, they'll have to start creating schematics from PCBs if they want to >keep adding games.
That might be the scenario for many of the Meadows games, Chicago Coin games, Nutting games and Taito games.
>Of course the PCBs are pretty rare too. I don't know how many games we can reasonably >except to get emulated, but hopefully there will eventually be a substantial number.
With what is accounted for at this time, I am guessing maybe around 30 games which is better than my expectations in 2002 or 2003 when I would have guessed 10 games back then since lots of stuff was missing/not yet preserved.
