I think that compared to other Plug and Plays, this is a very good one. There is a bunch of mini games, and the mini games are well produced. There’s just so much content for a Plug and Play. First Plug and Play I’ve ever played, and I still love it.
This was my favorite plug n play So many mini games, a full on tournament mode thats actually pretty difficult even when i was a teen revisiting tgis game, so many difficulty levels. I always loved topping my best scores and the skating was such a tense rush and the high dive drop always used to scare me because of how worried/angry SpongeBob and Patrick get if you mess up and how tense and timed it is when i was a little kid. Now its probably my favorite one. I would love to play this again so badly but i lost it long ago and its in rough shape
This kind of obscure emulation is so fascinating to me. I want to ask if these dumps are publicly available at the moment or if they are being kept amongst a small group right now. I wanted to ask that instead of "where are the roms" because if they aren't available I respect whatever groups decision it may be to keep them private right now. I have just been searching and have turned up nothing and would like to know if this is the case for that. Thanks for these videos!
You probably won't see this but if I got one of the joysticks that has the games on them would it be possible to plug the joystick thing into my pc maybe with an adapter or something so I can play the games in mame from the SpongeBob joystick (or other SpongeBob or Nick joysticks) instead of having to dump stuff onto my pc? I've been trying to research this all day and tbh all I wanna do is connect the games to my pc without having to go through downloads and to be able to use my pc for these old games I love so much
You should be able to find a way to plug them into some kind of capture card / usb capture device, as long as it had the correct inputs, although I don't know if that would add noticeable lag of any kind. Not sure I really see the point however when you could just plug them into a TV.
@@mamehaze I've only just seen this now apologies. But I don't wanna use my TV screen because I don't like looking up at it, it's on my wall you see. I'd prefer looking directly in front of me like I would normally do with pc stuff
I think it's quite obvious if you compare it to the previous video, where most of the sound is just a drone because channels were being hogged and never freed. I did say it isn't perfect, but it at least sounds something like music now. The fix made also stops the eventual complete audio dropout in the Disney Friends unit and Namco unit
Wow, this is much better, great job guys! Also update on the old unit, managed to unscrew the battery compartment and the batteries are completely corroded. Don't know why we decided it would be a good idea to leave that thing in a closet for 10 years or so. Is there any place the files you're running on MAME here would be uploaded to be archived eventually? Thanks.
yeah, we've found a fair few where that has happened, luckily in most cases the batteries are far enough away from the actual PCBs that it isn't an issues, although in the cases of the e-kara mix we had some repairs were needed. The post in www.reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/b0t2f1/cant_get_roms_to_load_on_mameui64_i_have_tried_to/ by glassarrow might answer your other question if you read between the lines.
no, the GameKey slot is just a cartridge slot like you'd find on other consoles. They sold a couple of extra games cartridges called 'gamekeys' that you could play on this one if you wanted. The built in games are full versions without a key however.
I believe this one was dumped by exploiting the gamekey slot (which has full bus access) It's a destructive process however, as you have to sever the lines between the CPU and the ROM glob so that the CPU doesn't interfere with the process. It's not an easy task.
different procedure for all of them. This one was dumped by hooking up wires to the gamekey port and cutting some traces on the PCB, then using a custom programmed device to dump it.
soldering wires (30+) to the tiny traces between each of the globs on the PCB after tracing everything out, while again cutting any that might interfere etc.
@@mamehaze because why hasn't the 8bit 2003 jakks TV games like the spongebob one hasn't been dumped yet. I'm only requesting this to view the sprite graphics from the spongebob 2003 tv game clearly for inspiration and usually kept memories since that game has close to better graphics to that of the Sega master system but uses only 8bit sounds for one of the reasons I came back to that game alot.
