namco/namcops2.cpp: correct notes with regards of THE IDOLM@STER & V300 I/O boards

Open Keropon opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Updated the dump status of THE IDOLM@STER & Minna de Kitaeru Zenno Training.

Also added some info about the V300 FCB PCB found on the actual THE IDOLM@STER cabinets.

@Keropon do you have photos of the V290 and V300 I/O boards with PCB and chip silkscreen readable?

I documented V290 in the src.... https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/namco/namcops2.cpp#L585

V300 is the same board with a sticker over the top of V290.... https://imgur.com/a/isBNG62 Differences are the number of driver transistors and connectors populated and possibly the PIC and MCU code. All extremely unimportant given that PS2 h/w isn't emulated/working and the games will boot (for emulation purposes) with a number of whitelisted I/O boards.

MAME isn't just about playing games on your PC. You of all people should know that. Also what isn't emulated changes over time, and having more complete information helps down the road.

Please re-read the above, this time more slowly. The 290 and 300 boards are the same physical PCB with a few parts populated/not populated. Edit: Hiding this doesn't hide your stupidity LOL!
