I really need to build one of these dumpers.. and dump my almost complete PGM collection Pals/Gals.
Am i reading it right some one has made up a PCB to build these dumpers?? i'd love to build the 20.. and a 24pin dumper while i'm at it.
The card readers Still work. You need a card to Match the game your playing. There is around 6 to 8 cards per PGM2 game. I think you can use any of the cards.. as long as it matches the game your playing. I did start a project to make a "custom" smart card that has all the unlocks on the card. I...
The PGM is designed to work at 5V. Yes,12V is used as well.. BUT this is ONLY for the Sound Amp chip.. and to go into the 12V to 5V voltage regulator for the DSP / DAC chip. (You CAN make a PGM run with ONLY 5V just incase you didn't know)
So at the end of the day is STILL a 5V system. When...
The 3.3V FLASH chips WILL DIE in the end. You May do damage to the PGM Motherboard.. but that's less likely... Bad sound / Corrupted GFX / Weird stuff are signs of the Flash chips dieing....
PLUS your not Killing / Using a PGM game cart to make Fluffys PCBs. Thats a HUGE Plus in my book. I...
The BIG issue is they run 3.3V Flash chips with 5V I/O data. Which is a bad thing!! "REAL Fluffys" PCBs (Which I build / and Sell) are ALL 5V Chips.. so doesn't have any issues!
@shelcoof Did you see my youtube videos on Fluffys PCBs etc???

Have you checked FB Neo ?? I was sure i dumped some new roms versions ages ago... All my Roms were added to FB Neo first.. i don't know if ALL were added to MAME in the end... Depending on the ASIC 27.. you can't upgrade any versions to any other version. I know it has come up a few times with...
I thought it was interesting as they used many of the Rom Dumps i had done. I guess that was easier then getting roms from IGS / easier to run in FB Neo. I have reached out to IGS several times... But never got any reply's.
@Fluffy . I think a different company made the Switch games / conversions. I was sure that was the case when people were looking to them using Final Burn Neo Illegally. I have no idea what the FB Neo team did?? Since it was clear it wasn't legal to use it....
