You must erase and reprogram the EPROM.

BTW kyuusaku, I was curious to know how Tomy determined the memory mapping of the PFX to make his BIOS->SRAM software.

Is there any easy way to achieve a similar soft for some other BIOS without full hardware documentation of the machine?

It depends on the copier really, generally they'll switch out the BIOS after the game is loaded (to switch to the game), a BIOS dumping program needs to know how to switch it back in and that changes from unit to unit.

Thanks kyuusaku Wink

Sorry kanemochi for hijacking your thread but for the BIOS upgrade, unless you own a programmer you should ask Tommy to sell you the EPROMs
