Let me first say that I know enough about EE to be dangerous Can someone who knows a thing or two about this tell me if my plan is sound?
1. Purchase an Ultima: Exodus cart from a local reseller (there are plenty, and this game bites).
2. Purchase 512K Flash ROMs from Digikey (and a ZIF socket).
3. Purchase a TOP853 Programmer from Ebay.
4. Solder, cut and enjoy
What I am unsure of is this:
1. Is the flash chip I linked to compatible with the PROM in the cartage or will I need to re-wire it? I can't find any pinout info for that PROM.
2. Is the flash chip compatible with the programmer I found? I can't find any specific mention of the thing supporting Flash chips, but it's the same as EEPROM, right?
Part Costs:
Cart = $7.57
Flash ROM and ZIF Socket = $19.07
Programmer = $50.86
Security Bit = $6.72
Total = $84.22
Minus the programmer and security bit it's only $26.64 for the actual cart. Plus I get that programmer I've been threatening to buy for years
