I was just looking at video of the unreleased Taito game "Adventure Canoe" being run off an Egret multi-game and it got me wondering, would it be possible to extract those ROMs from the others so it could be used on classic Taito Alpine Ski/Elevator Action etc hardware which it seems to have been intended for?

It's probably wishful thinking but I thought it might make for an interesting discussion among the experts, and it would be pretty cool to see someone make a dedicated cab for another unreleased game.
 
Looks like a couple other people have poked around with this idea, and they linked back to this KLOV thread.

Interesting looking game! Losing a paddle is pretty innovative, plus the gator hurryup. I especially like the boss battle then towing his carcass after defeating him. 🐊😅 The boss battle has very Legend of Zelda dungeon vibes that's surprising for 1982.

Gah I really wanna play this! 🛶
 
Taito has released a firmware update for the Egret mini that does have the roms inside. The firmware image is easy to unpack but the rom assets are encrypted. Someone has already decrypted the roms portion but wont share it with anyone.

As long as someone can decipher the encryption, the game is there.
