Hey again all...as a side note to my EPROM burner question, I have discovered (yeah big shock right?) that all my Genesis games appear to have MASK ROMs instead of EPROMs. While this is nice for collecting's sake, it doesn't help me much when I want to make some translated Jp RPG ROMs. I'm hoping some kind soul with a few Genesis protos could supply me with the chip numbers/names for the EPROMs on a Genesis cart, so I can at least attempt to make one myself when I get my burner!

Thanks!

I have an 8MB board which actually has 8 (1MB) eproms. Without pulling the proto out to verify the eproms should be 27C1000s. Chances are you will want to go with a single 8MB eproms or multiple 8MB eproms depending on the game you are trying to burn.

What you should really be asking for is the pinout for the Genesis ROMS, that way you can find an EPROM with the same/similar pinout.
