Sega Model 2, 2A, 2B & 2C
Status Page



Since many people are interested to know the status of Sega Model 2/2A/2B/2C dumps, here's a listing with all the info I know so far.

Please note the following.....
  • If you would like to donate towards buying one of the remaining undumped Sega Model 2A/2B/2C PCBs, contact me.
  • If you want to donate/loan some PCB's, contact me.
  • To progress further with Model 2 and 2A, we need some _serious_ info on the hardware. Most of this info is classified and unreleased. If anyone happens to have access to info on the custom IC's used on Model 2 PCB's please let us know! In particular we need opcode info on the Fujitsu TGP chips, we don't need info on SHARC (Model 2B) or TGP4X (Model 2C), just plain old TGP, used on Model 1, 2 & 2A (that's Fujitsu part number MB86233). This chip is a coprocessor and is used extensively to create the 3D objects. So without emulation of this chip, there are no 3D graphics :-(
    Update - Most of this information has now been reverse engineered and graphics are showing :-)

    Note, Model 1/2x uses the following graphics co-processor IC's....

  • Click the thumbnails to see larger pics. Remember that these screenshots are VERY preliminary, so some of the graphics are missing.
  • These games are emulated by Nebula, and partly emulated by MAME. Sound has been added to all of the the games that are emulated, though it's not perfect and requires more CPU power than currently available PC's have to offer to play at full speed. It's estimated that the minimum CPU required to play the "playable" games is a P4 3GHz or faster without sound. With sound enabled, you would need a dual-core processor at 3GHz greater (50GHz recommended), though with a Pentium D 3.6GHz, it's very playable in Nebula, but not too fast in MAME due to lack of CPU power.

GOOD

BAD
Dumped, but either untested in the emulator, or it's unknown if the set is good or bad due to emulation related problems.
Dumped and OK
Not Dumped... yet ;-)
Partially Dumped BUT BAD (hehe, not dumped by me though! Needs to be redumped because some ROMs are badly dumped. I.E. We need to buy or loan the PCB or ROMs again.)

Dead or Alive GOOD Working OK, playable

Uses a security board (Sega part #838-12927). It's a small PCB containing some logic IC's, RAM chip and some custom Sega IC's on the bottom. It appears this board creates a lookup table, but is mostly unused according to the main program code.
   Here's the IC listing.

Version exists for Sega Model 2A & 2B. This same ROMset can be used on Model 2A and 2B boards by simply putting the ROMs into their correct places. However the PROGRAM ROMs are different. Both 2A and 2B versions are dumped.

Same as the 2B version
Dynamite Cop GOOD Versions are available for 2A, 2B and 2C. Working OK, playable Same as the 2B version

Sega Rally Championship

Sega Rally Pro Drivin'

GOOD This is a hack ROM upgrade for Sega Rally boards, comprising of 2 EPROMs and a plug in pack encased in red epoxy (probably containing a PIC like the Daytona Maxx hack).
This is now emulated, the protection was fairly weak :-)
Of course, it's just like Sega Rally, so it's working OK, playable

GOOD Made by Jaleco in 1997, seems VERY rare.
ROMset secured from a very old archive from a friend who dumped it. We need a redump of the sound ROMs because they're dumped at half size. Unfortunately the PCB is not available now. Game works OK though.
Update: I got hold of a redump and the dump is now good. Working OK, playable

Dynamite Cop GOOD Versions are available for 2A, 2B and *possibly* 2C.  2A and 2B versions are dumped.
Update: I've recently discovered that there was a 2C version. However, almost all (if not all) of them were converted to House Of The Dead because that game makes more money (and arcade games are ALL about making money, remember)
Another update: We found a 2C Dynamite Cop. Dumped! Working OK, playable
