JRA PAT for Dreamcast V40L12 [T-42501M]

Post by Maddog »

Dump submitted by Getta Robo, confirming my personal dump. Thanks buddy, this was a nice rarity! :D
His was disc-only (same ringcode with mine), so rest of the info comes from my copy.

Boxcode: T-42501M
Ringcode: T-42501M-0351B 20MM1
Barcode: a23004169a
Note: the barcode displayed is abnormal and does not follow the regular 13 digit barcode rules. Refer to pictures online for other versions, they have similarly styled barcodes to this one.

V40L12 is v3.000, being the 2nd (and as far as we know final) revision of this disc.
V40L11 is v2.000 and V40L10 is v1.002.
There's also a later V50 disc, but this is using different boxcode.
There's no way to tell them apart by looking at the front cover or disc only, but it is marked on the back cover and the title screen.
If you hit a disc-only version, you can only tell what it is by the ringcode.

Another sort of mystery is the publisher of the disc and information found online doesn't seem to be particularly helpful.
Sega logo is displayed on the box, however the back has some address in Japanese, naming a company called Keiba (=Horse Racing) Security Services Co. Ltd. I decided to use both in the filename, as the boxcode is not a Sega code. Most likely this thing was programmed by Sega but published on behalf of this obscure company. The later V50 switched to a Sega boxcode.

Finally in terms of functionality, the main functionality of being able to bet on JRA horse races from your Dreamcast is long gone, but the disc is not a total coaster. It contains a section with many "How to use" videos and it also has a section listing several different horses (likely older famous horses?). For some of those, there are even videos showing them in action, complete with a funky Japanese commentary, so you may be able to waste a few minutes toying around with the contents.
