You can use one of these parts that are stocked at digikey: AT27C512R-70PU or AT27C512R-45PU they are basically a 27C512 device but they are OTP: meaning you can only be programmed once and that's it (they come blank so just write to them, trying to erase or write more than once will make these …

None of the cheap programmers have any serious docs or support ... I can recommend you the TL866 series programmers , they are affordable and easy to use. Select the proper chip, load your data and press program. They are perfect for retro-systems users.

yes , the TL866 series are both affordable and usable to anyone that messes with old hardware! imi wrote on 2021-01-16, 01:14: [...] I guess they just integrated more in the main "midiengine" chip? functionally this should be the same though right? yes, it is exactly like that and it works the same …

[...] Luckily, my card's firmware chip is already in a socket (let me know if you want a picture). What would be the best way to get the working firmware? Welcome aboard! Since your card already has a ROM socket upgrading it is very easy, just burn a new 27C64 (or 27C128/256/512) with the 010 …

isnt't there a patch that fixes that for windows? Why do you think it's a bug requiring a "fix"? Yes it looks nicer but it's no longer not the original experience :) Never implied it's a bug BUT in the same way you fix controls on modern systems you can also fix draw distance. That is if you don't …
