Title: Matching Roms Post by: Servo on December 27, 2013, 02:05:14 pm Hey Guys,
I've got a technical question and i was wondering if anyone could help me out. I just picked up what i think is a bootleg pac man or ms pac man board off ebay for a few bucks the board is labeled pac-3. I removed a rom and tried to match it against hamsters online rom ident but im having a problem. the rom reads fine but when i save it to compare it to the data base it doesn't recognize the rom. i figured it was probably a bad rom but i took one off a working ms pac man board and when i saved it and compared it to the data base it still doesn't recognize it. when im saving the rom ive saved it as both a hex file and a bin and still no luck. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? i am using a genius g540 programer. any help with this would be appreciated...

I could never burn TI 2764s in mine. So, it could be a certain brand that your burner doesn't support.
