Awesome. Are you still working on the roms at all? I'm happy that we have that many so far, but just from my own perspective I'd still need Golden Axe, Altered Beast, and Aurail.

Here are the instructions on how these decrypted ROMs are created. I have not tried doing this yet... http://cgfm2.emuviews.com/fdconv.php

yep, i followed those instructions. but with a better one, you don't need to add additional chip for switching two banks. because i already know which one is code and which one is data.
iirc golden axe are already available in unencrypted version or available somewhere (i don't remember).

They are available here (with the exception of Golden Axe):

I will be adding them to my mirror page shortly. (The above link is just a mirror of the old LeopoardCats site anyway.)

That's a great link, I think the pictures are what helps clear it up for me. Now we're getting somewhere!
For what it's worth, I ordered a set from segaressurection and got them yesterday. It works flawlessly. The guy is based in New Zealand and it took about a week to get to me. Just thought I'd pass it along...

I know it's slightly off topic but phoenixing was mentioned earlier, and that's something that I have an opinion on... let's just say that I wouldn't mind actually paying for the roms to resurrect a dead board, but if you're actually forced to pay for it, I'd prefer to have non-altered game-code.... (no phoenix logo) which the author isn't willing to do at all... As a collector, a phoenixed board is worth less to me exactly because of the added logo. thus not really worth paying for. I'll just stick to burning my own roms.
If that didn't make much sense it's because this topic has me raging just thinking about it.

A phoenixed board isn't original and collectors typically want original unaltered boards. He added the logo to protect collectors such as yourself from buying phoenixed boards being passed off as originals. I don't understand why you would be upset at somebody who's looking out for your interests.

If collectors want original, unaltered boards then I hope they like them non-working, as without the Phoenix sets every CPS2 B board, some CPS1 boards with a dead battery would be permanently dead. Same goes for suicided Sega boards.

That's the difference between a true collector and a gamer. Collectors will find and pay large amounts of money for original boards and ritualistically change the batteries to keep the unaltered code. Anything else, even phoenixed is considered a bootleg. Basically, the reason Raz put the Phoenix screen on there was to protect collectors with this mind set.

Then maybe it's just me, but a sega, or CPS-1 board that's been de-suicided isn't worth any less to me then one with the battery still intact. I wouldn't care about a CPS-2 being phoenixed or not, -if- it ran the original code without the added logo.
This is exactly why it ticks me off, I don't care if there's no more battery, in fact it's -good- that there's no battery, but the software is no longer original, whereas in the sega and cps-1 fixes, the code remains unaltered, all that's removed is the coding the kabuki or what have you was supposed to decrypt.

You can always learn how to program and edit code to take it out. But if you don't want to spend the time and money to do that then pay the person that did.

I -am- actually learning assembly for 6800 at this point 
Although that's just for altering some pinball software...

I need to learn as well. Just too many projects right now. For sega res you basically just need a hex edit to remove or change the text.

It seems the need to protect the collector community from people passing off resurrected boardsets as original unencrypted versions has past.
From now on all the kits I send out will not have the copyright date changed to RESS or have the RESS logo on the boot screen.
If anyone has brought a kit from me and wants a non-logo version, feel free to contact me at the usual place and we can organise getting your program roms re-burnt.
As always I am always searching for undumped FD1094's, hence one of the reasons I ask people making inquiries to tell me the FD1094 and eproms numbers. In particular I am looking for a Turbo Outrun set with EPR12396 to EPR12399 eproms. I don't have the FD1094 part no to hand.
I have always offered a free kit to anyone who sends me the FD1094 and if necessary the eproms to dump. (These dumps also end up in Mame eventually)

PS I also added a Tutorial on how to replace the battery in a FD1089. I will add other tutorials as I get time. Current plans are for FD1094 and World Rally tutorials.
