The TV Sports Baseball proto that recently showed up...

ParanoiaDragon · 12/30/2012, 01:18 AM

Is anyone here gonna try to purchase it & release it into the wild? I'd do it if I could. I know it's not the best of baseball games, atleast, according to the old Duo World reviews, but, still, it's a part of Turbo/PCE history, along with other proto's like Dino Force & Marble Madness. It'd be awesome if someone was in the position to nab it & rip it into a rom, especially if we could finish it up & release it on hucard or cd if need be.

Is this the one that I mentioned in the Bonkinator thread a year or so ago, or has another one popped up? I think the guy that had the TV Sports Baseball EPROM I mentioned in that thread may have already sold it. Plus he said that was one of the EPROMS that did not work.

Nah, it's more recent, it's from this

which was discussed a bit, & then locked here:

I'd be all for it, assuming it could be purchased for a reasonable price (where selling booties could come close to breaking even) and it's a complete or nearly complete game.

If nothing else the guy may be willing to loan/rent it out it to someone who can dump it for a small fee. Always worth asking.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a device that can rip a PCE game. I know they exist, not just cuz of all the roms, but, BITD, my friend whose dad worked for Icom(& made all the Ghost Manor gfx) borrowed some of my games to rip onto his computer. Though, I recall him saying, atleast back then, that colors tended to be a bit wonky. Probably had random artifacts onscreen as well I'd guess.

Do we know of anyone that has one of these devices in the PCEFX community?

We had used to use a bung mgd "game doctor" back in the 90s. One of the more expensive copiers.

Another popular device that I saw quite regular was the "magic super griffin"

I invited the guy to the forum, maybe he'll show up and show us some pics of what he has!

Obfuscate · 01/02/2013, 11:20 AM

I would chip in to make this happen.

ParanoiaDragon · 01/02/2013, 09:48 PM

As would I, no doubt!

Could these be it?

Man the Hori stick in that lot is totally trashed. That fucking sucks.

bartre · 01/04/2013, 04:33 AM

I don't think so, the two on the bottom left are mega drive carts, and the one that is a turbo card has what looks to be an IDE cable running out of it.

could be dev hardware?
