What do you think the odds are that Savage Quest will eventually work in MAME?

[esoteric]

In case you're not familiar, there is an awesome arcade game with great graphics called "Savage Quest."

You play as a dinosaur and you can eat people and fight other dinosaurs. It's still unplayable (considered a "skeleton") in MAME .160 and there doesn't appear to be any recent progress on getting it to work. Here is the story so far: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/savquest.c What do you think the odds are that someone will eventually get this beast working?

Oh well. With over 3000 Mame games and hundreds of thousands of other games in dozens of other systems, I can't say I will miss this one particular game.

I'm sure it'll get emulated eventually.

I think the main problem is this:

H/W is a white-box PC consisting of:

Pentium II 450 CPU

DFI P2XBL motherboard (i440BX chipset)

128 MB RAM

Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3D2 Voodoo II

Sound Blaster AWE64

Protected by a HASP brand parallel port dongle.

I/O board has a PIC17C43 which is not readable.
