If any moderator that sees this deems it's not for this place, i would greatly appreciate some directions on where i should ask this.
A few friends have bought an expensive pachinko machine from the Puyo Puyo franchise for the purposes of preservation.
They wish to gain access to the assets of the game, including animations/videos and unique art made specifically for it.
Here is a video of the machine in acction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT-mwb90d64&t=2424s
It has completely unique and very fluid animations that my friends are trying to capture using a capture card with some fancy hardware, but ideally it would be best to preserve the rom of the game.
Here's the information i have:
The chips are not soldered in, so they could be shipped to anyone who has equipment to dump their contents, but i have no idea if it's one of those "suicide" chips that clear their content if you pull them out.
Here's a picture of them:
They are 512 megabytes per chip, but they use an 88-pin FLGA socket.
We would love to dump the contents of the rom and investigate its assets, so any help is greatly appreciated.
If anyone has the equipment to dump them, please get in touch with @PuyoGameArchive on Twitter!
