Charles MacDonald's MAME WIP News

[olaf]

Emu#dreams reports that Charles MacDonald has been working on adding hardware support to MAME. Below is what he has posted on his homepage.

 

Some information is needed about the M37702 MCUs used in various Namco games. If anyone can help, the following needs to be determined:

 

- Which games use the C71, C72, or C73 chips.

- Which games use the C77 (or higher numbered) chip.

 

What we know so far is:

 

C69  = World Court Tennis (NA-1)

C70  = Quiztou (NA-2)

C73  = Found on a test board, but used in any games?

C74  = System 22

C75  = NB-1 and NB-2

C76  = System 11

 

In the interim I've been examining the BIOS and working on a better trojan as well as figuring out how hardware on the MCU side works.
