    Default Looking for some sources for new eprom chips

    I just fixed one of my gorf cabs, then the other one went down today. The problem is in one of the boards containing game's eproms. Is there anyone that sells new eproms on the net?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You could try http://www.hobbyroms.com/

    I haven't used them yet, but I've been thinking about getting a few SMS EPROMS burnt.

    after looking over the boards a little closer, it looks like there is some type of "jumper chip" that is out on every board. It is a popped in chip just like an eeprom, but each part of the socket connects directly to the other one. (except a few of them look like they are blown out, almost like when a fuse blows.) I don't know the technical term for the chips but this may be the cause of the problem.

    He can do custom eprom programming according to his site. Look under the kits and updgrades section (I think) and you'll find more info.

    If it's just an EPROM you need burned, I can do that... you'll just have to let me know what the model of the chip is, and which ROM (assuming the same as the MAME ROM).
