Title: ROM CHIPS
Post by: Flynn's will live again! on November 01, 2013, 12:09:15 pm
Hey guys,

      I just picked up a tron upright cab and am in the middle of restoring said cab. I want to play around with ROM's! I was thinking of picking up another PCB, an taking off the rom chips off that to get them on tron! (Tron is missing one I think). It's a local post of a game called splash or painted lady. Not sure about it but I see lots of ROM chips on the board. 20$, should I do it? Will the rom chips be compatible if I writes we them?

Most games use the same kind of chip. I would go ahead and buy it, just to have more chips. If you want, you would just buy some EPROMS on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2764-Eproms-Need-Just-1-or-2-USA-Seller-Get-Them-Fast-/310335619176?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item484171c068)

as cosmic stated, you can buy programmable chips individually or in a package. do a search for the chip number/model
