Thanks for uploading all of those to archive.org -- that was one of the next steps I wanted to complete. Almost all of that content is from me that I collected over the years :)
There was a bug in the code I posted earlier, edited my post and updated to v1.1
Great question. The License ID is the last 4 octects of the MAC address, reversed. ie; MAC = 00-03-FF-AD-D2-F2, License ID = F2D2ADFF
The ID can be found by going into the Operator Console and navigating to the...
Thread resurrection!!
In the past few weeks I have received a few requests for help with licenses. Figured it was about time this gets shared publicly, so I ported the code to python so it is easily sharable.
Python script attached to post for download, also posting inline for easy viewing...
No, I don't think so. The PIC plays a very small role and isn't unique per game.
There are 3 versions that I have seen from decapped/dumped Midway PICs. V Unit games as classified in MAME, uses all 3 versions. I believe X Unit (RevX) also uses Gen 1 as used on Wolf Unit.
Today I took a brief...
The good news is last year I reverse engineered the PIC code used on Wolf Unit pcbs and solved the algorithm that stores the serial within an encoded data table. Can confirm it is possible to change the serial number. Another major challenge to solving this was the PIC serial simulation...
Not even remotely true! :D
What if I'm the only bumping this thread up? :poke:
Last week I was finishing up the code for updating the FPGA from SD card :D
Been slowly but surely working on this, just don't come on KLOV much anymore, maybe things have changed
Gunstar Heroes was sent to me last month from a donor to be processed and dumped. It has since been added to MAME

If you can briefly see the game come up, then it resets on a 3 second interval, that is most likely the watchdog causing reset.
Watchdog is circuit that verifies controller/joystick port can be read, if not, resets CPU
Speaking from experience, if you have made any terminations or connections with AC wiring, fuse blocks, boxes, terminal blocks, it will need to be certified. Technically its not a problem until you get reported or sued -- but considering if your machine is not safely wired it can in fact result...
Hi steph,
No issues on my end here receiving payments in USD, no automatic conversion occuring.
You should look into using PayPal.me service which you can send quick and easy link to customer. It is possible to specify the amount and currency too :)
Bonus points for space cats
Not even remotely
When what you are building a project for a hobby and not a business, it can take how ever long it needs to
Yeah it's a good simple solution to for switching games. I'm glad he made something to save people wear and tear on their rom sockets...
Hey guys,
I am able to generate replacement codes for ReVolt as well as all other TSuMo games. Just send me a PM and I will get back to you at some point, haven't been on KLOV much in the past couple months.
