In order to set the record straight and make things right with everyone who has put up with MAME's insistence that all the romsets for the game Nibbler (including bootlegs/other licenses) has music, I'm looking for any and all information from KLOV's owners PCBs.
This will take some work of some Nibbler board owners, but I want to make sure there are no documentation mistakes and that MAME "get's it right"
What do we need? Any and all of the following, if possible:
1) A nice full PCB picture in as high resolution as possible so that rom chip numbers can be read off the chips themselves and documented. Also any markings, board numbers, serials or other missing sockets (in this case, IC51). You may include a text writeup too, if you wish. Did your PCB come with an original cabinet, converted cabinet or some generic one?
2) Did this PCB ever produce sound on it's own, or only after the MAME rom for the music was added? Is there a case where the sound rom is not correct in MAME for your board? Some romsets that exist in mame have have strange and overlapping sound on Wave 2?
3) If the game can be run, we need to know the "revision"? that is produced when starting the game. You wait until you see the crosshatch pattern come onto the screen, then hold the controller down. A number will show on the bottom left, next to the initials of the game creator.
4) Has your roms been dumped from your board. What set do they match up with if there is a 100% match? If there isn't a match, can you list what roms are different and be able to provide data for inclusion in MAME?
5) Any other information regarding Nibbler including issues regarding current MAME emulation would be greatly appreciated.
You could either post information here or email any data you care to my email address below. Thanks!
Respectfully,
