: For many years, this specific IC was a "missing link" in arcade preservation. Because the code is stored internally on the chip, it cannot be read like a standard game cartridge. It requires a process called decapping —chemically removing the chip's outer layer to read the data under a microscope or via specialized probes. 🛠️ The "Not Found" Error
