TMNT is playing jingles now =)

Will you try finding out how the test pin works? G&W games are very expensive, would be great to find out that they can be dumped without decapping/breaking one.

Cool! I will see what I can figure out on the G&W's test pin. ST25 has 2 globs- one looks like it has 60 pins, so I'm guessing SM511/512. The other has 16 pins- I assume it's for the speech/sound effects.

Interesting. No panel though, huh? I counted 50 pads for the LCD, so some of them must be interconnected, since the chip only has 60 pins; SM510/511 has 60 pins, but only 37 are used to drive the LCD panel.

When you guys say 'G&W', are you specifically talking about the Nintendo brand? (People frequently use G&W to indicate any small LCD handheld... smile )

I think I only have a couple of them, since they can be pricey I never really got into collecting that series (more of a VFD guy myself anyway. smile ) But I'll check out what I have.

Yeah, I mean the Nintendo mono LCD ones. I want to know approximately from when until when they used a Sharp SM510.
