Warlords cabinet rebuild

<< < (2/5) > >>

paigeoliver:
your monitor looks fine. Could use a cap kit though.

By the time you pay someone for a full set of Warlords eproms you could have almost bought your own eprom burner (they are only around $100 - $125). A newer eprom burner is going to support HUNDREDS of EPROMS including the ones on your warlords.

KrawDaddy:
Do you believe this to be the problem with the graphics?

Also, are there tutorials for reading and burning these eproms.

paigeoliver:
The mame versions are almost ALWAYS the correct versions.

Does the game mess up the same way each time, or do the letters and numbers vary?

KrawDaddy:
I dont know at this point.

paigeoliver:
Flash isn't the exact word.

Most arcade games use EPROMS. ERASABLE programmable, read only memory. Some only used PROMS (this is rare), which is just PROGRAMMABLE, Read only memory (without the eraseable part).

Basically it goes like this. Use the reader/burner to read each one of your chips and verify them with the ROMIDENT software. One will be bad. You don't have an eraser, so fork out the $3 for a new blank EPROM (or PROM) as needed and use the programmer to program it. Don't even bother buying an eraser unless you build up a stack of bad ones worth as much as an eraser costs.
