Description
Firmware for a companion robot sold for home use from 2017, read from a unit retired by its owners.
Provenance
Deposited by Southeast Arcade Preservation Society, which had held it unread for years. The controller had failed, so the memory chip was removed and read directly. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
