Guru ROM Dump news 3-15-08
Guru, noted rom dumper for MAME (and not that fraud Gurucrock) has posted some news regarding his rececent acquistions, and also stuff that you may see emulated in MAME sooner or later:
15th March, 2008
A couple of items arrived….
Super Qix PCB, thanks to madness
An STV cart, some sort of crane game, thanks to rtw
I also bought a Virtua Fighter 4 cart (NAOMI 2). It’s supposedly not common because VF4 is GDROM only in Japan, and this is a ROM cart. Thanks to Brian T. for pointing it out.
Update: The STV cart is called ‘Microman Battle Charge’ which is a medal game.
Also forgot to mention, about a week ago I received a Casio Loopy and a few carts and another Bandai Pippin firmware board, thanks to incognito

I’m only posting this publicly because the price will be hopelessly high. There is no hope in hell of ever winning it. The price will probably go to $3000-$4000. However, this kind of thing shouldn’t go unnoticed for someone that is really crazy and has more money than a bull can sh*t :-D
What is it, you ask?……… an extremely rare Taito Steel Worker PCB. Unfortunately it’s not that great IMO. The PCB is a converted Taito color Space Invaders PCB, just like our friend Indian Battle. Pretty unexciting stuff, really.
