This is a chat I had with Apollo69 on 9/20/98 in #neogeo on EFNet...
Apollo69 just dumped his first NeoGeo Game... WOO HOO!

Red = Me Orange = Apollo69 Green = Note (added after chat)

<DragonYen> so are most yer games japanese? or is that just the one you picked to do first?
[I just finished DL`n Apollo's dump]
<Apollo69> That was the smallest/easiest that I had lying around.
<DragonYen> hehe.. so do you have a lot of games? (btw i'm gonna bug ya till I get enough info to answer peoples questions.. I do it to Naz too ;>
[God, I even find myself annoying at times]
<DragonYen> I try to help alleviate answers for people :)
[My spelling sucks...]
<Apollo69> About 30 -- only 1 of them not already dumped though (was two of em :)
<DragonYen> ha! so what is the other one then? and how soon might you dump it?
<Apollo69> As soon as I can figure out what size the chips are (no numbers), I'll have a RARE one.
<DragonYen> Woo.. no hints on the name eh?
<Apollo69> nah -- don't want to disappoint anyone if I can't figure it out..
<DragonYen> hahah :P ok, fair enough... Though I don't get dissapointed, and I don't tell the upcoming roms.. but if you wanna keep it a secret, it's all good :)
[BTW, he never told me.. so don't bug me.. and I wouldn't tell ya if I knew!]
<Apollo69> I have all but 2 of em figured out :(
<Apollo69> 2 of em = 2 chips
[Here my ISP drops me :( - name change cause I'm still on...]
<DragonLag> damn ISP :) last thing I got was 2 of em = 2 chips
<DragonLag> Woo... I'm not familure with dumping enough to know what that means (progress wise)... What do you have to do to figure our that last two chips?
<Apollo69> Without the chip #s, it's pretty much guess work.
<DragonLag> so, what, you just pick random numbers out of the air, and see if it works :/
[Look at me being a newbie :)]
<Apollo69> Nah -- not that kind of guessing :)
<DragonYen> I guess its more of, you don't know WHAT KIND of chip it is? so you not sure what it does :)
[I continue to look like a newbie...]
<Apollo69> No, I know what the chip does and what it should look like when dumped ...
<Apollo69> But without the right info about the rom, all you will get back is garbage. -- I don't know if this chip is a 1mb, 2mb, 4mb, 8mb eprom, etc...
[he finally "saves" me :)]
<Apollo69> I'll dig out my CD of the game and see if I can get any hints from that :)
<DragonYen> Ahhhh.. so otherwise, you just kinda guess, and see if it works :>
<Apollo69> yes and no -- you don't want to try reading it as an 8bit rom... things like that.
<DragonYen> hehe.. ok I think we are passed the point of what I need to know anyways ;P thanx for the rom, and anything upcoming... :)
<DragonYen> and that chat :P
<Apollo69> np :)
<DragonYen> is there anything you said to me that I should say to others? I don't want you to be upset at anythign I say :>
[I am gonna try to always remember to ask this... but if i forget, and soemone doesn't tell me, the info is free game...]
<Apollo69> The stuff we just chatted about was nonsense -- they could care less :)
<DragonYen> No believe me.. they care :)
<DragonYen> people just don't like asking [cause they look dumb - so they think]
<Apollo69> All anyone (in general) would like to know is -- what's next & when :) Same questions I have for the other dumpers.
[Bah! Some of us out there care]
<DragonYen> Well I always probe chem and naz for info.. people like the little updates... since nothing comes out, people freak out.. they like to know what is going on behind the scenes
