Gentlemen. We have some good news.
There is a project running by mr Guru at dump roms
for what i know he has found a way to decapping the copyrighted roms info here..
it is a pricey attemp. $200 per rom. so whoever has MKV rom to be decapped
and we will donate too. for process like this can take days instead of years!

this is great stuff

Re: Mark5 - They are not encrypted. If you could be bothered and know what you are doing you can easily see/rip most resources.

The real problems are;

No docs on the Acorn Arm250TG CPU on the whole internet. (no serious!) (I even emailed a few companies in china who sell this chip would you believe).

While some of the programmers (not me, I am just a messenger and excited like most here to get something running) are already working blind, what does not help is it seems the system is custom built too. But if anyone can find *proper* docs on the CPU (not the usual old mk5 schematics floating around) but proper tech information on this specific ARM CPU than that's a start.

The other problem is, while this is platform is 15 years old, it's still in use here and there and people don't really want to do much at the moment. Where as mark 4 is totally over.

Hey Agua,

Let's not get too carried away at the moment and talk about game dumps. This thread will end up on google as number one etc and it might comprimise everything. :cool:

.. it's only very very early days for emulation.. :huh:

This is an another MK5 booting, an older version.

Funny enough 'Enchanted Forest'. (see both attachments).. this game is around 1996..

Hey there,

This is a mark5 booting. As soon as you turn the machine on it pretty much instantly shows this as attached image.. it does not have any delay between each line. (just all there in one hit...) then about 8 seconds it does a slight flicker then 5 more seconds it jumps to the game screen.

Cheers
