Mega-Tech


Fantasy Zone for the Sega Mega-Tech a direct copy of the Sega Master System game. This is one of the last (if not the last?) Mega-Tech games that needs to be dumped for Mame.

Here are some pictures showing the process of dumping the game files.

Maskrom and EPROM desoldered.


A basic adaptor needed to be made for dumping the maskrom
Thanks to alien_mame and Charles McD for the pinout info.

Region changing (Triforce / Chihiro)

I found this spanish post while doing a google search. http://www.retrovicio.com/foro/showthread.php?t=9901


Google doesn't do a great job of translating it but basically all you have to do is turn on the triforce or chihiro motherboard with nothing connected except for a satellite / netboot pic security chip. Then go into the test menu using the test button go down to system information and press the service button 30 times.

For Chihiro you have to press service button 15 times until GAMEID appears. Then press service a further 30 times.

Thanks goes to Android for the original post.

TransferGame (Naomi / Triforce / Chihiro)

This little app has been hoarded long enough so here it is. It's basically the exe version of triforcetools.py without having to mess about installing python.
