Hi,

As title says I look for the PCB shots of some prototypes. Need them for the software list of the MESS (MAME's sister) emulator for a more accurate emulation. I have been waiting for the following for a very long time now, I feel like I've waited long enough and I'd like to request the help of this community:

-Breath of Fire II (USA, Prototype)
-Capcom's Soccer Shootout (USA, Prototype)
-Eurit (USA, Prototype 19950529)
-Justice League Task Force (USA, Prototype)
-Marvel Super Heroes - War of the Gems (USA, Prototype)
-Mr. Tuff (Euro, Prototype 19940712)
-Super Chinese World 2 - Uchuu Ichibutou Taikai (Japan, Prototype)
-Sylvester and Tweety (USA, Prototype 19931215)

Most of those have passed through this community. Any picture from those are welcome, including pics you could have saved from auctions.

Thanks in advance

Just curious, how will pictures of the boards provide more accurate emulation? Wouldn't they work the same as production boards?

No there are a lot of aspects which can not be emulated without a driver, because the rom header most emulator rely on is too limited or bogus.

Who are the owners and how can I contact them?

We aren't trying to blow you off here, but I don't think the owner of those carts wants to be bothered with scanning/photoing them. He's already been asked for pictures before. If anything changes and he does post pictures, I'll make sure they're sent your way.

I have a bunch of related prototypes:

Justice League SNES 19/4/95
Mr Tuff
Sylvester and Tweety 1/20

Not sure on the systems on the last two. And for all of these, not sure if they're carts or just EPROMs. I'll post here when I get around to processing them (could be this summer… could be in 2015, so the actual owner you're looking for might beat me to it).

Edit: Sylvester and Tweety is Genesis I think, sorry.

Huge thanks, I knew they were lying somewhere, just needed to ask the right person and that's you, that's often all it takes. I'd like to take this to PM if that's fine with you.
