EPROMs

[Scuttle130]

I have been easily able to program 32k bin files into the EPROM. The problem I do have is the 5200 won't accept EPROMs programmed with 16k bin files. Any one run into this problem and know how to fix it?

 

Thanx!

Duplicate them twice to fill the whole 32K?

That doesn't work, some of them reside in the middle 16K.

PMs...

So you duplicate the 1st 8K twice, then the 2nd 8K?

That would work for games that reside in the middle.

So when you load a ROM file into Atari800Win+, how does it know where to put it?

I presume it analyzes the reset vector.

Ahh.. nevermind. It doesn't know.. it asks you what type of cartridge it is.

So to program our own ROMs we can buy the AA 32k PCB, then burn a 16k or 32k BIN file to a 27C128 or 27C256? Do regular BIN files work ok? I know on the Atari 800 you cannot burn exe files they have to be ROM dumps, so I am assuming BIN files are actual dumps correct?

Should be. I don't know of any other notable formats for the 5200, and BIN is supposed to represent a straight ROM dump(on ANY system).

 

 

Worst-case is 2 seperate ROMs stitched together, with a header at the front(is there even a 5200 header format? I don't THINK so, but...)

 copy /b 1st_8k.bin + 1st_8k.bin + 2nd_8k.bin + 2nd_8k.bin 32k.bin
