30th December, 2005
I was able to get a good read of the ROMs from the PCB shown below with a
little creative heating from my heatgun. We still don't know the game name
though, there's no title on screen. Anyway, Dox says it's now fully playable
:-)
http://www.slanina.pl/mamewip.html
So that's another one saved from the grave yard :-)
Update: I got an email from Randy who says the PCB below is an
original Omori board and there is a very high probability that it's Shuttle
Invader or Shuttle Invader II.
29th December, 2005
A few weeks ago, I was sent a very old 8080-based PCB that was thought to be
Omori Shuttle Invader. I've just dumped it and I still don't know what it
is, and probably never will. According to Dox, some of the ROMs contain just
garbage, the data has been eaten away by time. Check the PCB pic below,
maybe it was a real Omori Shuttle Invader?

I also just dumped an original Power Instinct and Power Instinct Legends.
It's hard to believe that a dump of the original Power Instinct has eluded
us for so long. But now that's history. Lots more surprises coming soon.
28th December, 2005
I repaired my Grand Tour PCB and pointed out a few things that were not
correct to Dox, which he promptly
fixed :-)
A few days ago, we got a shipment of Korean stuff from our Korean contact.
All of it went to Brian T, who dumped the easy stuff straight away. You can
probably see some of those emulated on various dev web pages around the net. The hard
stuff will have to come to me to be processed.
The full list includes....
Go 2000, a Korean card type game
98 Grand Prix
Quiz 6000 Academy, SunA quiz game
Mad Ball, now emulated
Garo-kun Sero-yang, now emulated
MuHanSeungBu, SemiCom Baseball, emulated
Don Den Lover (bootleg, dead PCB)
Puzzle Bang Bang, needs smt ROMs dumping
Search Eye Plus ver2.00, ditto
Clone Dike+, Simple solitary game by Eolith
Super Model - Unknown Comad game
Monkey Elf
We also picked up a few other nice PCBs from
mostly eBay sellers. Some of those will also come to me at the same time and
some are HUGE and will come later by surface mail.
I'm also on holiday for a month, so expect to see a LOT of dumps completed
and released. I'm up to about 20 new dumps this week (so far)
13th November, 2005
I received a very new Eolith PCB called Balloon & Balloon (a Bomberman
rip-off), thanks to Apollo69. This is the first arcade PCB I've seen that
uses a 256MBit NAND FlashROM. The hardware is ARM-based and also uses the
familiar sound hardware used on Eolith games, currently unemulated QDSP
sound chips :(
5th November, 2005
Hmmm, just found it's way into MAME 101u5, but anyway, better late than never
I suppose.....
I got hold of a dump of Daytona 2 Power Edition, thanks to "m-3h" for
dumping it from his machine, which was then passed onto the team and plugged
into MAME by Ville. As an added bonus, this set also fixes a bad dump in the
regular Daytona 2 ROMset.
16th October, 2005 Unfortunately a bit of bad news now...
Regarding the news below about Model 2/3 dumps,
Tokyo Bangaichi turned out to be just another Last Bronx Export (i.e useless)
Over Rev sound ROMs are dumped at half size. I have checked with the
supplier and was told the Over Rev ROMset was dumped many years ago and is
not available now.
I didn't dump any of that Model 2/3 stuff listed (was sent to me on a CD),
so these matters are out of my control. No loss anyway, it cost $0. So we
lose $0.
Also forgot to mention that a Vegas 4-in-1 PCB by Entertainment Enterprises,
1983, arrived about a week or two ago, purchased by Randy on Ebay several
months ago. Dox has it running, but currently with bad colours.
15th October, 2005
A small but HILARIOUS update to my Lamer Email page. Hahahahahhhaaaaa
13th October, 2005
A few early s/shots of Jaleco's Over Rev, thanks to ElSemi. Yep, it does really exist

Also, I forgot to mention a few things that arrived a few days ago...
Japanese version of Tenkomori Shooting, thanks to Mr T.
Unknown Mahjong by IGS, and Real Battle Mahjong King (Game Master System),
thanks to bnathan
Donkey Kong 3 (I think) on Galaxian h/w and a Taito Marine Date PCB, but is
supposed to have a game on it called "Alligator" or something, thanks to
Tingoes
10th October, 2005

There's A LOT more to come. Do yourself a favour, don't listen to extremely
pessimistic nay-sayers who are simply trying to damage the flawless reputation
of 'The Dumping Project' and really have no idea about the facts or reality.
Stick a sock in it buddy!
Oh yeah, and remember, NEVER bite the hand that feeds.
2nd October, 2005
Small update on the Dumping Project pages. The Bad Dumps
/ No Dumps list is now 100% accurate thanks to it now being auto-generated.
Everything is nearing completion :-)
30th September, 2005
Twisty set me up with a forum to help with discussion
about the Dumping Project. Please use it if you are concerned about anything
Dumping Project related.
Link in the right column, 3rd one down :-)
27th September, 2005
I was asked by a serious collector last week for stuff we need and I
couldn't give him an accurate answer. So
I'm taking matters into my own hands.
There's a permanent link here too, 2nd one down, right column :-)
If there's something that needs to be updated on those pages, let me know
and I'll do it immediately.
I forgot to mention, also arrived a couple of days ago were .....
Mahjong G-Taste, Psikyo 2002
Gals Panic 2 Quiz, Kaneko 1995
Thanks to alien_mame
15th September, 2005

now if you haven't done so already.
22nd August, 2005 I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
I've just finished a tricky surface mount dumping job......

And here's a pic of the tiny custom adapter used to dump the nasty surface
mounted ROMs......

There were 7 used on the PCB and each one had to be removed from the PCB and
mounted onto this adapter, dumped, then removed and remounted onto the PCB.
Luckily I'm a patient man!
I also received a package from the good boys at the Italian Forum
containing.....
Pong Pong Car
King of Dynast Gear
Dream World (for trojaning)
Lup Lup Puzzle
13th July, 2005 Received a box with a pile of
Dynax Mahjong games in it. I'm sure _everyone_ will be really overjoyed
about that ;-)
Anyway, in the box is.....

Mahjong Electron Base (bootleg, Dynax, 1993)

I also added another H-U-G-E update to my Lamer Email page.
Gee, some people just don't get it do they?
3rd July, 2005 Not really much to report (yet)
I received a Great Swordsman PCB which was hoped to be an English version,
but it turned out the dump from it was the same as the existing dump.
I also added a small (but very funny) update to my Lamer Email page. Hahahahaaaa
17th June, 2005
I'm sure everyone is anxiously waiting for the HUGE pile of stuff that I
have to be dumped. There is of course a reason why no dumps have been coming
from me recently.... Up to this point I was looking to buy a house....I've bought
one now and soon I'll be organising moving and many other related things. After that is sorted out, regular dumping will resume. So please
bear with me for approx. 1-2 months while I get my sh*t together ;-)
In other news, a few PCBs arrived that were bought on Ebay by Randy, and the
next large box from Japan also arrived with a mega-pile of stuff, but I have
no time to even open them up.... there's no point really because I am
actively boxing up everything for the move.. So it will all just have to
wait :-)
Just to wet your appetite.... this is what's in the Japan package....
Indian Battle, Jolly Jogger, Tetris GM 2, Tetris GM 2+, Paca Paca Passion
SP, Paca Paca Passion 2, The First Funky Fighter, Dark Horse Legend CDROM +
cart, Tokimeki Your Heart CDROM + cart, Another Soul Calibur PCB, Flame
Gunner

- I'm looking for an old PC motherboard from 1997....
Elite Group P5TX-LA
It's a Socket 7 motherboard, for use with Pentium 1 CPU's up to 233MHz.
It looks a bit like this.... (not exactly but very close)

The exact model I'm looking for has less parts on it. The full manual for
the exact motherboard is
here.
If someone has one and wants to donate it, please contact me.
This motherboard is used on the above listed Taito Psychic Force 2012.
Thanks!

the support! Everyone may have noticed the nice stuff that arrived over the last few
days. Please remember, this is ONLY due to us having large sums of money to
purchase PCBs. We have our eyes on MANY PCBs, but without funds, they can
not be 'preserved', so keep supporting the cause
regularly. And those of you that play with emulators and have not donated yet, you
know what to do :-D Thanks!

the money we have won't last forever.... we can't buy them without funds. So
keep up the good work! :-))
Thanks!

A
small message from Randy.....
On behalf of 'The Dumping Project Team',
comprising myself, Guru and our Japanese contact, I'd like to thank all of
the people who have contributed to the Dumping Project from November 2003
through today. This includes not only people who have contributed money but
also those who have contributed boards, dumps, information, and any and all
other assistance. I can't individually thank everyone who has ever contacted
us or posted helpful info on the boards, and I don't have information about
all those who have worked primarily with Guru or our Japanese contact, but
here's an attempt to thank those who have either ponied up funds or worked
closely with me personally. This list is based on many emails that were in
my inbox for almost 14 months and isn't exhaustive, but I've certainly tried
to finger all of the suspects; if I missed you, I apologize, and if you
remind me I'll make sure to mention you on the next go-round.
That having been said, our heartfelt appreciation goes out to: gregf,
