Hey, new to this forum but one thing I have in my collection is this version of Ball Boy (2004) which apparently isn't dumped, see https://mamedev.emulab.it/undumped/index.php?title=Ball_Boy
On that wiki it says "According to Smitdogg: ShouTime has the 2004 version.", which I guess means that this will be dumped soon anyways?
My question is... should I try to dump this board myself, and if so... what is the easiest way for me to do this. I'm fairly confident with soldering/desoldering and electronics in general, but don't have much experience dumping ROMs.
If "ShouTime" who seems to dump quite a few games already has this though, maybe it's not worth the effort?
Did a quick capture (without audio) of the first levels here (didn't really attempt to play it well). No audio since I currently have a pretty awkward jamma capture rig which relies on external audio (such as NeoGeo headphone jack).
