MAMEDEV Forum

Hi
This is my first post here, so, hellow to everyone.

I 'm a mame user near 2005 and started with mamenu under DOS. I become pinball player first and arcade late since 1981, so I have no words to say thank you for been created mame. So many memories I can recall from any game a used to play when I was a young boy.

Now, on my 50th, still playing those games, even I have a little collection or arcade machines. And also I have a little stone in my shoe. I got a Taito Super Speed Race GPV cabinet with a unworking pcb.

I know this is one unmamed TTL based games and my question is: If the game as no cpu and roms, there is no way of making the emulation? Even with the full schematics (witch I have).

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I believe that there are other (mechanical ?) machines in mame that do not have a cpu or any roms either. (? gambling machines perhaps ?). So I would not go so far to say that it is 'impossible' to have a machine emulated based purely on the fact that there is no cpu or any roms in the machine.

If the above is true, and this machine is currently unemulated in mame, it might be useful if the schematics would be preserved and given to the right person(s) on the mame team (if they do not already have them). Of course, as always, that would still be no guarantee that it will ever get emulated in mame: it would still require someone with the right skill-set, interests and free time to look into that (which may or may not happen).

Over here [1] on the mamedev wiki, there is some information on how to submit roms (or code) to mame. I would assume (but you know what happens when we assUme) that the same contact listed there could be used to submit schematics.
