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
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 |
