For context relating to this post, the mechacon for the Namco System 246 and 256, as well as non-Dragon mechacons have been fully dumped. This does sound great as it might mean that there may be a software solution with the same functionality as MechaPWN in the near future.

SPC970 Based MechaCon LIBeration testing is going well. Initially only V2 compatible, but now we have first V3 dump!! Still harsh on hardware, so careful dumping continues. Progress so far going well! Will share full write-up on how we got here soon!

After 4 years of effort, I'm happy to announce that one of the final secrets of the PS2 has been broken wide open! It's been a long process of decapping, optical dumping, and now at last a software solution. Thank you @libby.bsky.social for finding the exploit from our dirty optical dumps!

Thanks to the helpful ps2 community and a very close call semi-brick of a rare variant, we now have verified dumps of every North American SPC970 mechacon 🎉 Any Australians willing to burn some life out of their eeprom for preservation let me know, lots of gaps there!

There is a Cobra themed arcade game that is obviously a reskin of Time Crisis shooters. It has an English dub and subtitles. Was it meant for US arcades? I've never seen it in the wild. youtu.be/4Wcnkd2ldrc?...
