Sean could decap the MCU but that would likely only tell us what it is, not how to dump it (unless it turns out to be an MCU with known dumping method, AND the pins required are exposed externally) A lot of these aren't 'mask' based, so don't have visible bits for optical method.

Sean's also not really got anything in the way of free time at the moment tho, he's been sat on the pile of plug and plays we've already sent him for most of the year, and only *might* have time to even start processing those again in December, if we're lucky.

Oh and the decap process is generally destructive, so even if it turns out to be a known dumpable MCU type, a second unit would be required to do the actual dumping. Unfortunately that's how these processes go, it's about establishing knowledge, and we can't even always use that.

Alright keep up the good work with emulating plug&play systems because those are barely preserved, and I salute you. Also I’m fully aware they’ll get destroyed so I’m picking up every one of these toys I see for melting purposes. If in the future you want them just ask.

Additionally, I'd like to point out that Haze has put an absolutely Herculean amount of effort into obtaining these systems, getting them to the right folks for dumping, raising visibility, and improving the SunPlus u'nSP emulation. But it *has* been a group effort.

Indeed, Peter for one also invested a large amount of money into these things. Once Sean starts dumping again we'll likely see quite a lot of those too, at which point Peter may consider picking up some more. People across the world have also helped with shipping etc. too.

Also the existing scene that has been studying the NES based stuff, and bringing some of those findings to MAME. (I fear we might have driven them away a bit tho by reverting a change, although said change broke more than it fixed)
