Yep. Turf gets fucked more then a $2 street walker. How he continues to be:

A. A nice guy
B. Helpful to this community

Is beyond me. I sincerely hope this is just a joke.

Shit. Yeah, I hope this is not true. If it is, I'm sure the community can do something about it.

Just had a quick look around and I can see the ROM has appeared on a site dealing with MAME ROMs (yesturday), its been given the name dragonsh. Really very sad if somone on this site was trying to sell it.

Not sure what happened but, consider the people the ROM was given to ie. MAME. I don't know what arrangements or conditions were given upon receipt but, consider the people you're dealing with here. The sky's the limit on what could possibly happen with it.

After all, these are the same people who freely host Raz's UNIBIOS for no charge in their database.

Keyword there is "freely". Also, the only Unibios ROMs in MAME are the free ones.

I know there is some bad blood between Raz and MAME, but I seriously doubt the MAME devs are trying to sell NTM's ROM.

I don't think Tufty has an issue with the ROM being out there or he would not have given it to the MAMEdev. I think its more about the fact that someone has been trying to sell it or has sold it. Im not even sure if that is true or an unfounded rumor.

All I'm saying is that I could see what might happen a mile away as soon as I heard the name HAZE. I'm not accusing him personally but, there are many people in that community, whom the devs can't control, that would love to make a quick buck off of Turfmaster's discovery.

Just to clear up, there is no bad blood between myself and the MAME project.

I really can't see somone in the MAMEdev selling the ROM either, I know there would be a few members of the dev who would be quite angry if that were ture. Its more likly that somone has been trying to sell it after they either got it off a MAMEdev or one of the sites that hosts the needed soon MAME roms.

Sorry for putting words in your mouth then! I was referring to the inclusion of Phoenix ROMs, but I guess that is water under the bridge these days. :)

How long until this appears in the NEO Store in AES form?

maybe a stupid question, but... is there any way to analyze those memory chips that held for so many years the same information, and recover it with professional decapping, electron microscope, etc? I know is power-backed ram but maybe same data for so many years made a small difference between a normal ram cell holding a "0" and one now with "0" but with a 20 year "1"
