Notes related to Area 51: Site 4 from:
http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=276606
Regarding the (a51site4a.chd)
I own a dedicated cab and have sold HD replacements that use an SD card and
IDE adapter. So I have done some research and have purchased enough board sets
and HD's that I have some idea what I'm talking about. Anyhoo, The currently
supported image is Rev. 2.01 as is still sold by happ. The only difference
between the current MAME chd and a fresh Happ HD is that the MAME chd has had
it's serial # cleared, but it STILL has statistical data saved. IE. credits
inserted, games played, play times, etc... I know it's that version by the size
of the CHD. I have compressed several STOCK HD's including my own and they all are
the same size. The only HD that I have compressed that was the same as the currently
supported chd was a happ replacement HD. So in conclusion, There are two different
versions of the Area 51 Site 4 HD one that was shipped in dedicated cabs dated
Sep. 11 1998 and another Rev. 2.01 dated Sep. 7 1998 for whatever reason I cannot say.
I do have clean copies of both in chd format, stripped of ALL statistical info. but
they still retain their serial #'s. BTW: I did use chdman to copy the currently
supported chd to a card and put it in my cab just to clear all the stats and make a clean
copy as it should be. Also, Just to be clear the size of the chd is not determined by
the original HD as I'm talking about their size after using chdman to put them onto a
SD card and then using chdman to make a chd from the SD card. They are different sizes!
