Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<p>I got my hands on the modded Road Show L-6 software that removes the completely linear mode order. Really curious to see it in action.</p><p>Also, this Xgecu burner is so lame compared to my Stag Solar, but this new toy is so much faster!</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/eprom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eprom</span></a></p>
wyattFor legal reasons I must state that this chip is in fact blank. I would never do something as illegal and wrong as writing my own ROM chip for hardware I own, that hasn't been manufactured in 30 years, when there's a company (that didn't develop it) which is actively licensing said ROM. <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/amiga" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amiga</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/cloanto" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cloanto</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/retrocomputing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/eprom" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eprom</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/grift" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grift</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/cbm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cbm</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.megatokyo.moe/tag/commodore" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#commodore</a>

Ari [APz] Sovijärvi<p>How do you install software updates onto an old pinball machine? Well, let's find out!</p><p>The EPROM or Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chips are emptied by UV light, after which they can be rewritten again. All the classic solid state pinball platforms use them and it wasn't until long into 2000s when the machines first started seeing flash memory with USB stick updates and eventually direct updates from the Internet.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pinball</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/retrotech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrotech</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/eprom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eprom</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/mildlyinteresting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mildlyinteresting</span></a></p>
