0.165 [Ville Linde, Guru]

WIP:

- 0.169: TMS32082 FPU fixes + command callback. Very preliminary video emulation [Ville Linde].

- 0.165: Ville Linde and Guru added 'ROLLing eX.tre.me' (Gaelco 1999).

- 20th May 2013: Smitdogg - CaH4e3 dumped the ssop70 chips on my Rolling Extreme board, so the dump is now complete.

- 19th October 2010: Smitdogg - Mark F. donated a Rolling Extreme board. Guru has a broken one already but it uses roms he can't dump yet. It might be possible to get a good dump from it and it could turn out to be a different revision from this one, we're not sure yet. I could use some help with current acquisitions if anyone can help out. Edit: Thanks for help so far from ranger_lennier and D. Beneke.

- 20th September 2006: Dumping Project - Purchased Rolling Extreme (Gaelco). Thank go to the fivepeople who recently donated after the last request. A special thanks goes to Kevin.

- 13th July 2006: Guru - I received another PCB that Brian T. bought on eBay several months ago. The game is called Rolling Extreme by Gaelco. Unfortunately, I won't be dumping it. Here's why... It's a powerful beast using some 3D hardware comprising TMS 320C82 DSP, Chip Express D3PLUS-4 Graphics Generator, 2 FPGA's, a large amount of RAM and a few high-capacity maskROMs... and of course, everything is surface mounted. Most of the ROMs I can dump but there's a couple of SSOP70 ROMs (similar to what is used in the newer neogeo carts like MS5 and SVC and newer Playmark PCBs) which are 256Mbit or 512Mbit ROMs with 70 legs. These probably hold the graphics, which are connected to the [documented] TMS320C82 DSP. There is only 1 programmer that has support for those ROMs and unfortunately it's not one of mine. To fully dump this board would require purchasing that specific programmer (AU$1350) and the adapter (AU$350). That's probably too much to justify for one fairly average 3d skateboarding game, although there are probably more PCBs in the future that would use these similar ROMs. I certainly can't justify that myself for just one game that is unlikely to be emulated anyway (or at least emulated at a playable speed), so it will probably remain undumped forever unless someone wants to donate about au$1800 specifically for this purpose. Bear in mind that as I mentioned above, the newer Neogeo carts and Playmark single board games also use the same SSOP70 ROMs. So if purchased, this hardware could be used to dump most of the newer original Neogeo/Playmark games, if the Dumping Project were to acquire them. Oh, almost forgot to mention, in case you were wondering, the PCB is dead. There's a small plastic fan in the housing (similar to the crappy fans used on cheap PC 3D video cards) that has seized and the poor PCB cooked itself. The top of the large graphics chip is scorched and under the PCB, the green is a brownish-green colour directly under that chip too... tell-tale signs of over-heating. That would have happened while the game was being operated on-site, so I'm sure the eBay scumbag who sold it as 'untested and sold as-is' would have known that too... hmmmm.

- 10th March 2006: Dumping Project - We made some great buys recently with the funds donated so far: Rolling Extreme (Gaelco, still in post if it makes it).

History

Arcade Video game published 20 years ago:

Rolling eX.tre.me (c) 1999 Gaelco.

A game set in a Street luge; a daring, spectacular group descent infusing your whole body with the sense of speeds and competition, racing against your friends to see who can get to the end first.

Rolling eX.tre.me is an unbeatable recreation of a real situation full of powerful emotions and the thrill of competition, making you really live a Street luge.

Three circuits of varying degrees of difficulty await, along with a total of six descents set in a perfect recreation of the real spirit of the hills of the American West. Take care, because you never know what unexpected obstacles you may meet as you speed downhill: do trees bother you, or cars, rocks or fences as you speed down at 140 km/h on your luge?

One of the most brilliant achievements of this particular game is the interaction between your character and the other players. Once you have selected your character from amongst the four 4 *luggers competing in the game - Daydra, Squat, Konkret and Buzz - you will have to pit yourself in hand-to-hand combat against your fellow competitors. Take great care when you come close to their route, they're apt to be a little unpleasant.

This race amongst the different characters can be a real one, too, as a friend can also take part in your race. Up to 2 gaming machines (dedicated cabinets) can be linked to it.
