Total guess, but I'll bet it's wiped. Those look like EEPROMS, someone correct me if I'm wrong here at all. Normally they get wiped when exposed to ultraviolet light, at least the little window.

In my experience ambient light and mostly direct sunlight do not do a very good job of erasing an EPROM. What *does* kill EPROMs are flatbed scanners. I don't know what kind of light they use (looks like a flourescent bulb to me) but one pass of those things tends to take out a lot of bits.

The chance of the EPROM data in the cartridge being partially or fully intact is fairly high, I'd say.

Was hoping somebody owned that cart, as a Shadow Dancer fan it would be great to check out a proto version. 😉
