There's some extremely rare Solid State pinball machines whose ROMs have never been uploaded, and I reached out to their owners and offered to pay them to upload said ROMs before they're lost forever. I'm assuming that neither of them have ever uploaded a ROM before, but maybe they can reach out to someone who has in their community and split the money with them? I've never dumped/uploaded a ROM before, so I don't know how much I should offer to pay.
Quoted from Tuukka:It depends on type of ROM. New rom programmers often don't support the old obsolete types anymore, particularly those that require three different supply voltages. Also if the game doesn't have separate ROM but a mask programmed MPU, reading can be impossible.
What manufacturer and games are we now talking about?
Sega of Japan Solid States.
I didn't know that uploading the ROM can be dangerous. That's unfortunate.
