+Mitch Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Here's the ROM for the Food Fight proto I picked up recently. Going by the date, it is earlier than the other proto and the final version of Food Fight. I played a few games and didn't notice a difference so it may have just been bug fixes. foodfight629.Bin 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing it with the community, Mitch! Unless it is a bad dump, there may be something(s) missing as the above dump is only 24K and the official release is 32K.

+Mitch Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 The game is actually 24K but the last 8K is duplicated in the released 32K version. Probably because it's cheaper to use one ROM chip than two of them. Here's a 32K version of it though. Mitch 32foodfight629.Bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need a special EPROM dumper for carts like this, or does a regular 7800 cart dumper work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Do you need a special EPROM dumper for carts like this, or does a regular 7800 cart dumper work? Modded 7800 works fine, but I am guessing Mitch probably just read the EPROM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Is the Easter egg accessed the same way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 You can dump it like any other 7800 cart. In this case I used a standard EPROM reader, though I have used other 7800 dumpers in the past. I have not attempted to access the easter egg on this one. It may not have been added yet, Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have not attempted to access the easter egg on this one. It may not have been added yet, Mitch That's why I asked. I was wondering if that would account for the code difference. An easter egg might be the last thing added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Is there a particular place all the various prototype ROMS for a game that have been dumped are stored so people can play and compare them or are they mostly scattered around on Atariage or included in rom pack? I see Atariage has a prototype section in their rarity guide but it only gives one example for each and I believe there are a couple different versions for several prototypes. Archive.org?

I generally use MAME, since there is no ROM size limit, but is there some special emulator or setting I should use? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't have the roms on my site, but I did post them on AtariAge a while back. I'd have to find the thread again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
