[game_preservation] AJP and Guru Decapping Project

[Stuart Feldhamer]

I have been waiting and searching a long time for hardware that can even do
a tenth of this. I eagerly await the hardware release

Quite interesting, hadn't seen that yet, thanks!

While we're at it though, here's another recent low-level preservation
approach by the guys from the Software Preservation Society.

In addition, I don't think this is listed on the IGDA Projects, but the MAME
guys are working on low-level backups of arcade boards. They are using
high-res digital images to manually backup an arcade rom (costs about $200
per chip). This is done to bypass security software that prevents
traditional data backups. This is really neat as they have detailed
documentation for why the techniques were chosen. In addition, it is some
concrete documentation on how much it costs to accurately back up an arcade
game.
