Nah, none of the emulation coders would waste their time on MPU5, only about 5 machines worth playing exist on it :)

Seriously, if work does start on it, you'd be looking at about 2008.... and thats IF they start work on it :)

Best of luck in getting a second hand one, don't forget to check eBay, local suppliers [under Yellow Pages, 'Amusement Machine Suppliers'], even national suppliers. Also sites like www.selectamuse.co.uk have a couple of machines on, and are not too expensive. However, some suppliers on the internet charge WAY too much. I'd say Hot Rocks is worth about £225>£275, might be able to get it for just under £200 on eBay.
