Question -- when programming the SuperCIC chip (using the common GQ-4X), using the supercic-key.hex file, do you need to wipe the PIC12F629 first? Anything else? My initial attempt doesn't appear to have worked, so i'm curious if I'm doing something wrong... Note: When I reused a D411 from an existing board, board worked like a charm..

Edit -- answered my own question by following this Cfg setup

Edit2 -- looks like I spoke too soon.  SNES carts will now work on clone systems, but the supercic doesnt seem to work on my genuine SNES :-/ ]]>

Now easier to assemble (quick solder jumpers on the back instead of different chip placement).

Also, I haven't mentioned it here yet but I'm releasing a new line of repro/development boards that are fully programmable, so no soldering required! Just pop them into the programmer and write your game. These are part of my Retro Blaster project I've been working on for well over a year now. Pretty excited to have them almost done!

They are in the final testing phase right now, and then they'll be available for purchase. Planning early 2017.

When I have the funds for everything I plan to buy. Kinda curious about a go with SNES. ]]>

The CHR/PRG RAM chips. As MrPete said, those are standard SRAM and don't require any programming. The console writes to them during gameplay.

For the CHR/PRG RAM that is just a standard SRAM chip, I use and Alliance AS6C6264 that I bought from Mouser

The last thing Im wondering about is other chips for AOROM for example. The CHR/PRG RAM chips. ]]>

I'm having some trouble getting my MMC1 homebrew working on your board: http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopi...

Can you comment on your MMC1 chip's power-up state? If you comment here I can pass it there. Please check your PM!

Any info on that would be great thanks. ]]> [Repro] Brand New NES, SNES and Genesis PCBs http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=137841 2016-10-21T14:55:29 -05.00 Retrostage 93
