http://www.pc-6001.net/p6/hard/6022repair.html well i found a page covering someone repairing one that helpfully has a photo that confirms that this was indeed where the chip came from
i've gone ahead and thrown together a skeleton MAME implementation of it now (it doesn't _actually_ print, but it "works")
as a followup to my NEC uPD7811 series ROM reader i built last year, i decided to try a counterpart for the even older uPD7801
there's no mode pins for disabling/enabling internal memory this time, but i tried to design a simple clock glitching attack to force booting into external ROM, and it works! (albeit somewhat tempermentally)
first random chip from ebay turns out to be from the Casio FP-1000 computer, which was already dumped via other methods, but i have another one to try later

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!
new year, new beer(s)
to unlock the extra stage and all practice stages in Fossilized Wonders, you can either:
- view the score ranking for Reimu, second green stone, Lunatic difficulty, type "classiclager"
or
- view the trophy screen, highlight #14, type "superdry"
(you'll hear the 1up sound)
