Woodpecker Update
daeven:
Guru has an update on his website. It seems he was able to get the Woodpecker ROMs from the board I sent him! Woodpecker was added to MAME 0.88u4!
I have now officially made my contribution to the cause! Now to go find 0.88u4...
For those that don't remember, a friend of mine had this Woodpecker in a generic cabinet in his Mom's basement for the last 20 years. It hasn't worked for a while, so he asked me to mame the cabinet. I got to keep the board and couldn't understand why I couldn't find it in MAME. When I mentioned it here, I was contacted by the 'authorites' who asked me to send it off to Guru. Needless to say, he worked his magic and another game is added to the list!
Jabba:
Do you have any screenshots of the game. I can't really remember this game...
BTW: Thanks for contributing to "the cause".

awesome. i remember when you found the board back in the day. it took awhile for them to dump it, probably becasue of the epoxy block, but good things come to those that wait. :) thanks for finding the artifact and taking the time to risk shipping it across the globe.

I also have an undumped PCB. Dark Horse: World Derby Championship.
I'll dump it myself though, It just has normal eproms. I can by my own reader for not much more than round trip shipping to one of the dumpers.

woodpecker screenshot. its cool to think all the work that went into having this ultra rare game in mame. the gameplay is similar to Naughty Mouse.
