Whatever happened to the Ketsui Dump?
Whatever happened to the Ketsui Dump?
There has been no news since the pcb was shipped to The Guru. What's the current status?
Apologies if this topic is unacceptable.

Also the later pgm caves have execute only internal roms, so even if you do manage to get code running on them you *can't* dump them.
IOW, don't expect it running in MAME anytime soon. It might just require a decap, but as we don't even know if those things are mask / eeprom (I suspect eeprom, and custom part so we can't read them even if we erase protect bits) not even that is really an option.
so yeah, it looks nice.. cave shooters always do, but properly emulated, soon, No.

BTW, what is this worth? I heard it's rare or something?

it might be possible to simulate it (depends what it does, who knows) however I can tell you one thing for sure, Nicola can't psychically read the content of the internal rom of the MCU to emulate it.

what's wrong with this?! I would say 100% the same about ketsui...there are A LOT of better and cheaper shmups out there.....FrederikJurk wrote:Guru wrote:the game is actually not that great IMO.

What I find disturbing about the statement is why anyone gives a fuck about what Guru thinks of the game, or why he posts. Will he not dump it b/c he doesn't like it? If he's just talking to talk, fair enough, but it seems dodgy at best.

Guru is pretty renowned in the emulation fraternity. He doesn't mess people about and he doesn't rip people off. I'd imagine that he probably dislikes most of the games he's ripped over the years. It doesn't stop him doing it.

He said he will do it, or at least try to do it. He played a big part in making CPS2 emulation possible so he really is not just somebody claiming something. Of course he won't say "when"...after all it's not a business he's running. Just hacking and dumping stuff - for fun, glory, technical knowledge and preservation of arcade gameshenry dark wrote:I am right in understanding that people clubbed together and paid money to send him the PCB without knowing when, or even if he would do it?

I'm more interested to know how the fuck they intend to dump Ibara. He's already got the board as it's crossed off his list.Haze wrote:dumps of the internal rom of the protection MCUs will likely not tho.
(IOW begging us to emulate them is 100% pointless)
