Namco 329 (Toshiba) siliconprawn.org/map/namco/cu... Taito TC0650FDA (TI) siliconprawn.org/map/taito/tc... Seibu SEI0220BP and SEI0160 siliconprawn.org/map/seibu/se... siliconprawn.org/map/seibu/se... 3/3
Taito TC0140SYT siliconprawn.org/map/taito/tc... Video System VS920B, VS9108 and C7-01 siliconprawn.org/map/videosys... siliconprawn.org/map/videosys... siliconprawn.org/map/videosys... All from Fujitsu 2/3
More die scans Toaplan GP9001 siliconprawn.org/map/toaplan/... Data East 104 siliconprawn.org/map/data-eas... 1/3
And finally the most visually interesting ones: NEO-YSA2 with its CMOS YM2610 equivalent and synthesized Z80, and NMK-215, a microcontroller who @recreativospiscis.bsky.social made a dumper for siliconprawn.org/map/snk/neo-... siliconprawn.org/map/nmk/nmk-... 3/3
Then VS9209, VS920A, VS8905, VS8803 from Video System, gate arrays too, some with RAM blocks siliconprawn.org/map/videosys... siliconprawn.org/map/videosys... siliconprawn.org/map/videosys... siliconprawn.org/map/videosys... 2/3
New batch of dies scanned, it's been a while. First #X68000 stuff: BUDDHA, RESERVE, SICILIAN, VINAS1 and 2, all gate arrays siliconprawn.org/map/sharp/vi... siliconprawn.org/map/sharp/vi... siliconprawn.org/map/sharp/si... siliconprawn.org/map/sharp/re... siliconprawn.org/map/sharp/bu... 1/3
They should have been ready for june, sorry. I still haven't adopted the new standard of getting things out the door as cheaply and quickly as possible by collecting other's free help and vibecoding what's missing.
Thought I knew Fujitsu gate arrays well enough to not be bitten by such things, but I was wrong. Inputs can be inverting.
With @modernvintagegamer.com's video about Doom on the NeoGeo, I think it's a good time to share an old and very silly project related to putting gory stuff in a cartridge and using the console as a video pass-through: www.furrtek.org?a=superngpc In 🇫🇷 but any autotranslate works well enough
NEO-BUF replacements restocked, same price, now easier to install in ✨flex✨ lectronz.com/products/neo... Terrible picture:
Advertises at low tx power a bit over once per second, MAC address changes randomly every 30 seconds.
#Disneyland Rúna toy: GeneralPlus it is. 145 speech files, 9 seem empty, longest is the sleeping/snoring sample. Exact format unknown, looks like a 4-bit ADPCM variant, not VOX or IMA. Full dump: furrtek.org/noclass/runa...
Some of the last NeoGeo chips made during the system's original run: NEO-YSA2 Yamaha FH1117 NEO-GRZ Fujitsu MB87L Both from 1998
The business end uses a nichrome spiral mounted in a ceramic carrier. Power comes from a totally unprotected 150mAh LiPo cell, switched by a tiny transistor and charged by a LTC4054. Lighter current on a full charge is around 4A. 3/3
Customer reviews indicate that one remote can set off any number of lighters in view, so they must all transmit the same IR code, unsurprisingly. SO8 MCUs with no markings. 2/3
I fell for an Aliexpress ad for the first time, and it was for an item I'm surprised hasn't showed up in a Big Clive video yet: the Chinese remote fuse lighter. 1/3
