I'm interested in what people do with eproms on the early bally machines 1977-85 (nino?). I note that you can mess with the jumpers to change them. I have a squawk and talk that I have finally got working only to get some weird sounds out of (mostly correct but just a bit odd and damaged sounding - its the roms as i have tested another set that work fine in the board). It does have an original masked rom and then a couple of non matched newer roms. The masked rom seems to be the issue. After my 'research' I just thought I'd get a matched set of 2732's and jump the board accordingly? Gotchas to watch for?

2532 Roms are hard to find and the programmer able to program these is even harder to find. I think Ken has done this successfully in the past. I will be doing a few S&T boards in the next few months, so I can write up a guide.
There is not a lot of info on the S&T boards - Even Clay does not go into great depth in his guides.
Maybe this document would be a starting point ?

Yeah 2532 and 2716 are used on the S&T boards. Just burnt eproms for 2 different games. The 2532's are easily obtained from ebay. I have a data i/o 29B programmer that I use to burn these roms with.
If you get stuck and ask very nicely I might assist with the burning ::)

its says you can jump them for 2732 as well as the others mentioned. I'll test this when i find some roms and note it here.
If U3 is a... ...then jumper this way

I was under the impression that 2532 were very difficult to find. Glad to hear they are still available.
