I live in Georgia and I have been calling sending emails and can't get a straight answer I can't afford to buy a new board plus they are very scarce. I'm very new to this and I can't fix it myself and there isn't enough info online about this the game is namco dirt dash I believe it's an eprom everything works the game it's playable just the 3d textures are all corrupted

You can get the Rom files from Mame. Do you not have a Programmer. You can get them cheap on ebay. There are services that will burn new copies for you for a fee of course. What size of Eproms or EEProms are the roms?

Might see if there is a local person with an eeprom reader (or check on KLOV) to see if they can read the eeproms from the pcb, then compare with http://romident.coinopflorida.com/ to see if they are corrupted before you pay someone for an entirely new set of eeproms and find out that something else is wrong with the board.

I'm happy with GQ-4X if you are wanting to buy a eeprom reader/burner if you want to spend the money.  You will also need a UV eeprom eraser.

Are you sure it's the ROM data? Did you check voltages? Did you reseat the chips?

IanKellogg.com burns roms and so does hobbyroms.com

Yeah I reseated all rom chipsets I cleaned them also I guess I can check the voltage next I really think it's the ROM data. I don't know how to identify this type of problem I have talked to Ian he also think it's an eprom somewhere. I really appreciate the quick response I'm going to borrow a volt reader from work tomorrow and the GQ-4X it's got very good reviews hopefully I can get this baby working soon it's killing me cause i cant play it

So I ordered a multimeter I should have it around Monday so I check the voltage but I'm lost here what am I going to be checking the rom chip I think it's messed up or the power supply?

Anywhere online to get a good old eprom burner? Maybe something that is not 100$

I don't mind DOS based with serial connections.

TY

I'm planning on buying an eprom burner sometime I really don't have much time to mess with my arcades my wife starting school soon work is getting busy so I be working long hours no fun

i have 5 burners but i think cost wise the needham emp10 or 20 would be a good choice for the hobbist.  what game are you needing them burned for??

I need to erase some Hyperball game roms and write the Jungle Lord code to them.. I think I need to it and write some blue flipper roms as well

EMP10 rules. That is all.

i have a commercial uv erasure that does about 75-100 chips at a time but i think i have a small one that does maybe 5-10 chips laying around that i haven't used in years and if you want it i would give it to you if you pay shipping.  let me know.

75-100 chips at once? That's cray! Photo?!

the standard mat holds 56 2532 eproms and the optional mat almost doubles that capacity.  i used to do alot more burning years ago.

That's awesome work you have done security0001 I Really Think One Of My ROM Chip It's Damaged I'Ve Tried   Reseating All The Chips I Cleaned Them And I Still Have Corrupted Screen So I Think It's The ROM Data Chip the Game It's Dirt Dash I Guess That Game It's Not That Great Since I Can't Find Much Info About It

just so if anyone finds this in the future. the EMP10 and EMP20 are not worth it anymore.

pick up a GQ-4X
http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4282

This programs pretty much everything except PROMs and is supported on windows 7/8/10

Does it do 2716's and 2532's?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

it will do both. The only 'eprom' it can't do is are triple voltage eproms, such as the TMS2716. Which is pretty much only found on space invaders and other midway 8080 sets. I'm not sure the EMP10 can do these ether.

GQ-4X the Bro Edition, Johns arcade themed rom programmer....

Ian thank you!! Ok well that is decided..

+1 on GQ-4X, love mine.

Anywhere to score a good deal on one?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

they sometimes show up on ebay used but most people love them enough to hold on to them. $140 for the full set is the going rate. Which you should get the 16bit adapter for the 90's games.

Any 90's pins use the 16bit adapter?
