sack-c0s Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I know there's already another thread about this - but my problem is slightly different and I didn't want to confuse the thread with 2 things going on - so... I just received my 8K board and the eproms to go with it and using the wilem programmer I can get the data onto the chips just fine (writes okay and verifies), put the chip in the socket... and I get a crash (one line of PF data down the screen) Firstly to test the water - can someone point m towards A known good 8K ROM image that'd work with the 8k boards sold through the store so I can be sure I've got the hardware up and working? Secondly - Any advice you can throw my way about what I may be doing wrong would be much appreciated. I've got an idea for a game I want to do - the concept seems viable but I find having the thing running on the real hardware is much more satisfying tham emulation so would prefer to get this going.

l3ushwig Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I didnt think that wilem programers work good for doing such... Just today i got my Pocket Programmer 2 and the D_Erase i havent tryed them yet because i dont have any eproms to mess with. But does anyone have a D-Erase because when i opened it i heard a noise like something was rattleing around in the bulb, i dont know if this is normal. But i plugged it in and i could see a light so im guessing that it is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack-c0s Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 it burns fine (supposedly - 8192 bytes written and it all verifies okay...) so far as erasing eproms is concerned I found a guide that gives you a cheap and easy way of doing it - get a 'fake currency detector'. if you look at it you'll see it has a F4T5 black UV tube in it. then swop this for a G4T5 germicidal unfiltered UV tube (got mine for an aquatics supply store) and put them in a box with the EPROMS next to the tube for about 20 mins. The G4T5 tube I have has something rattling around in it, but it seems to work okay so I'm guessing it's normal. Disclaimer: Read the warning on the UV tube packaging before using this way of erasing EPROMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
