I have a collector asking for Snake Pit rom set for a 10-socket cartridge.
(see picture below).

The only MAME dump for Snake Pit has 14 eproms. (14 x 2764 eproms)

I've also seen 7-eprom cart sets where the rom images are combined 2-by-2 on double-capacity eproms (27128).

But I've never seen a 10 eprom set.

Would anyone have a dump of this set ?
(... asking for a friend ! ;-)

LMK,
Thanks,
Steph

I suspect that this might be an early Sente-"only" cartridge.

SnakePit was the only game fully developed by Sente before Bally bought them out and became Bally-Sente.

I suspect that the 14 eprom MAME set is the Bally-Sente version, and the set pictured here is the Sente-only set,
... which may not have been dumped in MAME.

Anyone ?

Thanks,
Steph
 
I checked the MAME files against the Checksum values written on the chips in the picture above,
and some match, but not all.
U7B(GR0), U5B(GR2), U4B(GR3) match (Graphic roms), but GR1 does not.

U7A (mislabeled GR0), and U6A (RomB1) match, but none of the others.

In all MAME files (SnakePit, Snakepit2), there are 8 game roms and 4 graphic roms.
This cart only has 6 game roms.

Did the original Sente SnakePit cab have a different gameplay ? (ie. fewer code eproms ? )

Would anyone have a dump of these eproms ?
(... I don't think these have been captured in MAME)
