If it were just as easy as dumping a rom, it would be no problem. For gaiapolis, the romdata is stored on a huge smt qfp chip, so dumping it again involves a sacrificial gaiapolis board along with a lot of time to wire up the chip. If I turn out to be wrong, and there is nothing wrong with the data, then the emulation will need to be fixed. Either way, we'll need a miracle. Not many people are willing to touch the mystwarr / gx mixer code. It took me nearly a week just to fix the "Break the Statue" text in Metamorphic Force. And after that last run-in with Xexex, I will probably never touch that code again. The whole thing is like one giant jenga tower balancing on just one little piece at the bottom.
There is some good news though, there might be a way to patch out the bad data in the rom. Something that's currently being investigated by the one and only iq_132.
