I've created this so that further details can be added.

More of a curioisity than anything else, but this is the device Gaelco used to program / repair DS5002s on their boards. There's a 68000 ROM for each of the games containing a small program to transfer the data, and the DS5002 ROM data in ASCII format.

Probably worth extracting the Goldart one as we never got a good dump from the actual DS5002FP on that.

The Nova gambling games are sadly missing from this, as are earlier revisions for prototypes etc. (unsurprisingly)

World Rally 1 is also apparently missing (probably was taken out of the archive when Gaelco sent the ROM back in the day?)

I've done this as a Software List because best I can tell the ROMs weren't meant to be permanently kept in the device, but swapped in as needed.

ok, I've verified Goldart, and the DS5002 binary we extracted is the same as the one contained in these, so I guess we did get a good dump back then afterall!
