Zero security chips are just that, you need unencrypted game images. If you have a Sports Jam PIC and a Sega CF device, you could re-encrypt any game with the Sports Jam key (and modify the bootstrap file as necessary) and play it off the CF card using the original Sports Jam PIC. This involves...

It's possible to decrypt the game images and re-encrypt them with the key of another game, so you could actually just boot all games using the Sports Jam pic.

Yeah, like harmonics and shit, I guess. :)

I'd suggest that any questions over the "ethics" of hosting the images are out of the window for now unless HanaHo are able to quickly rectify this fault present in the latest batch of boards. ;)

Same here actually, I wasn't expecting the firmware to be any different and was looking forward to trying all three images. Oh well. Not Bryan's fault of course, as I'm certain it's been extremely frustrating for him. I'm not sure why Hanaho seem to be so uptight about the images being...

I believe so. Well, we have the new 10 and 20 game images, but no new Neo Geo image.

Maybe they can be gently coerced into sending SNK images too, as an apology for their cock up? ;) Weird, wonder what's changed -- or more the the point, why it's changed. Looking forward to hearing your findings! :D
