Home Page Forums MAME MAME TMS-09xx/1xxx thread (was New Dumps)

You made a typo: the dump filename is hyn.bin, but the description says HTN, which one is right?

I forwarded the disasm problem to Curt.

Fixed in github.

hap- oops, it's HYN

Curt- thanks!

Mattel Dallas is added to MAME, it's not playable much without the gameboard but I'm pretty sure it's working.
There's a manual on Rik's site, Dallas subpage: http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Mattel/Dallas.htm

If anyone's interested, Sean scanned Mattel Dalla$ game board and pieces. A mirror is here (70MB): http://tsk-tsk.net/net/temp/matteldallas_scans.7z

Sean do you still have the overlay of Entex Space Invader, the COP444 version? The one with chessboard-pattern shields. If so, could you try making a better photo(or scan) of it at a straight angle? The current one is difficult to convert into a good quality svg. The TMS1100 overlay turned out fine.

I'm frustrated- I just got off the phone with the USPTO, trying to find another patent wrapper, but it seems they misplaced it. It's for patent 4165159, and it looks like the wrapper includes the Rockwell PPS-4/1 Hardware Manual and the Rockwell PPS-4/1 Microprocessor Programming Manual. But the file wrapper isn't in their system, so I can't order it. The only possibility that they offered is that maybe it was incorporated into another patent, but I can't find any that reference it, so I'm stuck.

augh, that would have been awesome.

Thanks! einvader and einvaderc both have .svg artwork internally now.

I posted info on Mattel Horse Race Analyzer:

And a pick sheet and examples:

This one has a 67-segment LCD display driven by a Hughes HLCD0569. That's one that we don't have a data sheet for, but the pinout is similar to the HLCD0515. When I looked at the signals that the TMS1100 sent to it, I saw that it uses the same serial data format.

Because it has the LCD display, none of the O outputs are connected, which is weird. I was in a hurry when I pulled the chip and I used a little flat blade screwdriver to pry on it because I couldn't easily get all the solder off one of the pins, and one of them broke off. It actually broke the plastic and pulled out of the chip, so there was nothing left to connect to. It turned out to be the OSC2 pin, which is tied to OSC1 in RC mode, and tied to VSS when using an external clock. I was happy that the ROM bits dumped OK (but it's a Rev E, so I couldn't get the msbs), but when I put it back on the PCB it wouldn't run. I hadn't captured the LCD serial data yet, so I wound up clocking it with my dumping rig.

Then I connected a PIC to the HLCD0569's clock, data and chip select pins and turned on each segment so I could map them to the row/column numbers.

I think Mattel Computer Gin also uses the HLCD0569.
