And here's Karnov: www.seanriddle.com/karnov.html

They did some tricky trace routing under the glob; I think it was to avoid having any jumpers on the one-sided PCB. So I'm not 100% sure about K1-K4.

some corrections for the recent Tiger decaps:

karnovraw.bin
offset $028, change $A0 to $A1 (this one was under a blob)

shadowraw.bin, bits were corroded away
offset $4E4: change $B8 to $BA
offset $56A: change $4B to $6B
offset $57A: change $2F to $6F

I haven't made a raw2sm510 converter, could you share the source code of yours?

Thanks. I've reduced the amount of time I wash the die in Whink. Hopefully that will quit erasing bits!

Code
	blockorder[0]=4
	blockorder[1]=5
	blockorder[2]=7
	blockorder[3]=6
	blockorder[4]=3
	blockorder[5]=2
	blockorder[6]=0
	blockorder[7]=1	
	blockorder[8]=11
	blockorder[9]=10
	blockorder[10]=8
	blockorder[11]=9
	blockorder[12]=12
	blockorder[13]=13
	blockorder[14]=15
	blockorder[15]=14

	rx=0

	FOR Pu=0 TO 3
		FOR Pm=0 TO 15  // only 4*11=44 pages, but the other 4*5=20 need to be skipped
			FOR i=0 TO 15  //16 blocks in each row
				FOR j=0 TO 3  // 4 rows in a page
					rom[rx]=0
					FOR b=0 TO 7  // bits spread out in each row
						ix=(j+Pu*4+Pm*16)*128+b*16+blockorder[i]
						rom[rx]=rom[rx]*2+rawbits[ix]
					NEXT
					rx=rx+1
				NEXT
			NEXT
		NEXT
	NEXT

Tiger Karnov, Robin Hood, Battletoads, The Shadow are added to MAME.
external artwork for the backgrounds on this page: http://tsk-tsk.net/net/extart/

Robin Hood is the same game as Gauntlet. They reused the ROM and changed the LCD screen.

Karnov buttons are like this:
Code
       K3         K2         K1          K4       Beta       BA
S6  Max Score     --         --          --        --        --
S1     --         --         Up          --        --        --
S2     --        Left       Right        --        --        --
S3     --        Down        --          --        --        --
S4     --      Fireball      --          --        --        --
S5   Shield   Boomerang      --          --        --        --
GND    --         --         --          On        --        --
VDD    --         --         --          --       Off      Sound

And a random high five:

That is cool! I should have noticed the die IDs were the same.

Hey Rik, are there any cases the handheld collector community already know about? Or was this news to you too?
