    That would be your foolish mistake. Look at the age on that stuff. A good percentage of those computers will have boards with gold on them. Not saying the guy is being fair asking $250K for it, but there's a good bit of gold just lying around in that warehouse waiting to be separated from the trash, melted down, and made into money value on the back end.

     

     

    As of this edit the value of 1 ounce of gold is $1255USD. Who here thinks there's not some value lying on all those shelves with a bit of work.

    So you better hope there is 25,000+ computers in there, have fun extracting that...smh

    I just want to add to this thread because finding jaguar info for this is practically non-existent lol. This is a great write up but it could use some extra info on a few things.

     

    I recently took advantage of the massive cybermorph carts available. I found that for the 700700-2 there are 2 versions. You have (2) 42 hole pcb's that take the m27c160 eproms, those have blacker shells. Then you have the grayer shells which contains (4) 32 hole pcb's.

     

    I managed to find a 512 KB eprom in a google image which was an mx27c4000 which you can't buy anymore, easily anyhow. I found that a m27c040 is a good alternative. At least this way you can make 2MB games.

     

    Now there was no cut and dry spelled out info on splitting the rom into 4 files. But when using romsplit it does give you a glossary. I used and I was able to get 4 working u files.

     

    I have to use dosbox so I will post my entire procedure that needs to be used. In case you need to use dosbox too "64 bit system".

     

    First I made a folder in c: called dosbox. This is where I put my roms that need to be split and romsplit.exe

     

    1. open dosbox

    2. type mount c: c:\dosbox

    3. type c:

     

    now you are in dosbox folder

     

    4. type romsplit

     

    this will bring up the romsplit program "picture below"

     

    for splitting 2 files I type

     

    romsplit gamerom.j64 -we the (2) is default for 2MB games and I have found if you don't type (4) for 4MB games it fixes it for you anyhow and splits the 4MB games into (2) 2MB hi lo files.

     

    for splitting 4 u1-4 files I type

     

    romsplit gamerom.j64 -bwe

     

    I am unsure if all of those needed entered as I am very novice at this program but it did successfully produce 4 files that worked on a 4 chip 32 hole donor pcb.

     

    I was looking for a 32 dip 1MB eprom but it does not appear to be one based on the way eproms are designed, they do not have a vpp at pin 1 but an A19. Now here are a few usefull images.

    Thank you for the info & pics!
