Thank you, but I would like to find something at least with chip location. If I had time I should draw it on my own...

I have a sound pcb only

[vernimark]

Actually I have a complete boardset. I was asking for unknown documents to include into my doc.
Thanks anyway :-)

Ah, ok, silly me

Here I want to list the games WITHOUT a known (by me) Manual.
If you have one or more manuals of the list please contact me or just upload it.
I'd like to have a good scan, in case you are bored I can buy the original or pay your time for scanning it. In any case all documents will be part of the community
Any kind of document is appreciated: flyer, instruction manual, SCHEMATICS(!!), user manual, part of a manual with missing pages...
and pictures, pictures, pictures      I'm available to make a trip come to you with my camera and all tools needed for printable pics, just let me know if your are available to help me.

Games without a known document:
TV JOKER, CIRCUS, DODGEM, VANGUARD, EYES, MR. DO!, SEA BATTLE, SCORPION, SHOOTING GALLERY, FIREBIRD, PUCK MAN, BUCK ROGERS, PAC AND PAINT, FITTER, COMIDAR, JACK RABBIT

I found last month the manual of ASTRO FANTASIA, a CASSETTE game distributed by ZACCARIA. SCAN is available if you want it


This is an open link to upload whatever you want (zac related) and where tou can find the astro fantasia pdf.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7cwW1Pvd8oLNndhTUF0SXJBNVU

just for you in that folder you can find a draft of chapter 2 (not completed yet)
Any kind of suggestion or correction is appreciated. As you can see most o the text is still in italian only and a lot of pics are missing or, in most cases, have not a so good quality. I hope the meaning of I want to do is clear. watermark just to remind it is not a final version

thank you

PS: this job is impossible without your help.



if I knew i needed years to do this job.....

This seems to be a good place to post this...

Howdy guys, an Undumped wiki editor from Emulab.it (and MAMEdev) poking my head in here.

As usual, I'm trying to ensure that the software for these PCBs match MAME's archives. (Yes, we care about preserving bootleg / licensed ROMs with copyright changes, etc. these days! Yes, we know that's a bit of a change from the old days!)

Zaccaria's a real mess given the number of third parties making conversion kits for their cabinets, Zaccaria making cabinets for other distributors, the number of licenses (and possible bootlegs) they were making, and so on.

Here's where we stand thus far (mostly thanks to Deb of Tilt.it's help on this):
Undumped (?): https://mamedev.emulab.it/undumped/index.php?title=Category:Zaccaria

Dumped: http://www.progettoemma.net/indice.php?fast=&ricerca=&textype=any&romset=&manufacturer=Zaccaria&year=

I'd like to verify that the software for these PCBs on the wiki (when it exists) already matches a set documented in MAME by another publisher, to ensure that it's been preserved.

If they don't (even due to a subtle copyright screen change to insert the "Copyright Zaccaria" text, but mostly ignoring different ROM size "splits"), then you should probably get in touch.

I'm currently trying to avoid getting into the "Other Zaccaria Products" list Deb has made, until I have a clearer picture on who was making them and who was distributing them, what counts as Zaccaria products and what doesn't: http://www.tilt.it/deb/zaccaria-en.html#altro

Appreciate everything you guys have been doing collecting information, and I look forward to getting a copy of vernimark's book

Greetz to (at least) Paul and Vernimark.
