Re: Sega Genesis Game Cartridge PCB with dual DIP32 8-Bit Mask ROM's


Ah, so it is a 16-bit ROM chip, but they're running it in 8-bit mode for some bizarre reason. I guess they screwed up their mask ROM too like Turrican.

Speaking of Turrican, I misremembered exactly the mistake they made. It wasn't that they swapped odd and even. That's easy enough to fix with ...

Re: Sega Genesis Game Cartridge PCB with dual DIP32 8-Bit Mask ROM's


DIP-42 seems like an awfully big package for an 8-bit mask ROM. You sure all that logic isn't just for the J-Cart stuff?

The only cart I've come across with actual 8-bit mask ROM is F-22 Interceptor, but this cart used a normal 16-bit mask ROM for the part with the code and just used 8-bit ...

Here is the prebuilt toolchain for Mac OS X:
