Oh, that's more than I knew. I thought that mame had all data decrypted in memory when running so I could just dump the certain memory areas to get decrypted roms
Is it the same for pgm? Are all roms in a pgm game encrypted or only the program rom?
Best regards
On pgm, only one of the program sections is encrypted-meaning that there are 4. There's the 68k bios on the pcb, the 68k rom on the cart, the arm7 internal rom built into the arm7 cpu on some carts, and the external arm7 rom, again, on some carts. If the game doesn't have an external arm7 rom, the 68k rom is the only thing encrypted. If the game does have the external arm7 rom, it is the only thing encrypted. The internal arm7 rom on some protection devices is impossible to dump the first 0x188 (iirc) bytes
