That was going to be an uphill battle when not having actual rom images from pcb to work with. Good try though.

Good reference videos that came from some tv show that showed actual clips of Taito games. There is a old thread on emuchat forum that talked about this and all the actual vid images from Taito games. I'll see if I can find the thread later and update this post later with link to thread.

>Western Gun (still made by Taito), also this one hasn't got ripped sprites,

I'd like to believe Andy will eventually come across these Taito pcbs later.

There was an older thread posted here on MW that showed several cabs at some North Korea arcade location. One of the cabs was a Western Gun cab.....a needed/wanted roms from a pcb and of all places the cab is in N. Korea.

I couldn't find original thread, but found these.

As shown, Taito Western Gun would consist of a monitor output of gray (see Stunt Cycle for reference) with Western Gun showing some objects all black and others all white etc.

"Cheetolini" seems to talk useless feeble flattery describing his dealings with N. Korea Kim Jong Um Maybe arrange a trade for that Western Gun cab?

(ie: means intentionally kidding with unfunny humor and vaudeville stage performer gets pelted with tomatoes from the angry crowd)

Good start there.
