The Decapping Project
 |
---> |
Click for X100 image (~860k) |
With the successful 'decap dumping' of the MCU from Bubble Bobble, it got us (MAMEDev) thinking if we could do this with a few more chips.
Thus the 'Decapping Project' was born. Note we have had MANY successes since then.
Please support us with needed funds and chips if you can :-)
The Problem:
The development of some games in MAME is sometimes not accurate or has
come to a halt because of missing code from protection devices.
Emulation problems exist because custom chips on PCBs contain special code that is usually protected and
therefore undumpable and the game will not work correctly without that code. Trying to fake that chip by simulating it with guessed code is not always the best way and sometimes isn't even possible at all.
The Solution:
One method used to defeat this kind of protection is to decap the chip and extract the 'bits' using manual extraction methods. This means (in basic terms) the top of the chip is removed using fuming nitric acid then rinsed with acetone (and repeated many times) until the chip die is exposed. Then the chip is placed under a microscope and magnified pics are taken of the chip die (usually X100 or greater magnification) and the resulting
images are processed manually to obtain the contents of the ROM. Unfortunately this method is time consuming, requires expensive equipment and is extremely hazardous to health (and we value our vital body parts like fingers and eyes dearly). So we are using the services of a professional decapping laboratory to help us with the decapping and magnification tasks. The total cost for each chip is US$200. This is a special price that I have negotiated with the decapping lab. This includes decapping and enough X100 pics to give us the image of the ROM. Compared to buying the equipment ourselves (possibly around US$50000+) and dealing with the dangers involved, that cost is quite reasonable :-)
The Rules:
One of the main issues with decapping is that this method of data extraction can only be done with chips that contain MASKROM, it doesn't work for EPROM. In layman terms, MASKROM is kind of like an image of 0's and 1's that is 'moulded' into the chip die when it is manufactured. Those 0's and 1's are easy to see when magnified and given some time and experience can be decoded to produce binary code and/or data. This usually only works with older chips as many newer microcontrollers have added layers of protection and stealth that can defeat decapping methods and require much more effort and expense.
Update: In addition to that, a new rule now comes into effect. The new rule is there are no rules. Technology is available to lift the bits directly off the substrate using micro-probing. This technology is now available to us and will probably be used widely for many of the ICs listed below.
The Myths:
Regardless of whether we're successful with a particular chip or not, decapping is a fool-proof method that gives us a 100% solution of gained knowledge. There is no other way to know for sure about the contents of any custom chip except to decap the chip and find out what's inside. Some people say it's possible to probe chips, figure out what type they are, then wire them up and dump them or blackbox them using an army of logic analysers. Many of those people have not actually produced any evidence of this and are not living in the real world. The only way to obtain the truth is 'The Right Way(tm)'
The Participants:
The chips we're mostly concerned about are Micro-Controller Units aka MCU's or custom chips from mid
80's to late 90's arcade games containing ROM code that isn't dumpable using normal methods.
After some discussion, below is a list of chips that have been determined as possible candidates for decapping with additional
info showing the games that used those chips and the status of the decapping effort.
Please note the following.....
- If you would like to donate towards buying a
PCB that contains one of the wanted chips so that we can attempt to
decap and dump it, or you have one of the wanted chips and would like
to donate it to us, contact
me.
- Donations via Paypal can be accepted directly. Just click the big DONATE button :-)
NOTE!! This account is STRICTLY for small donations.
If you wish to send large donations (>$100), please make the payments in pieces over
a few days. If you make a large payment (for example $250), paypal's automated
un-manned system will pick it up and reject it :-(
(it has happened a few times in fact)
