Rom Chips
« on: January 18, 2011, 05:05:10 PM »
Happy New Year everyone!

My Gottlieb TimeLine has a spiderman sound Rom installed and I'm not sure if this is the reason for the sound board locking up after a few minutes.
Does anyone know where i could purchase the correct rom (659) i also have the bin file if anyone could burn it?

Cheers
Wally

Steve from Pinball Resource should be able to provide you with the correct ROM for your game

Member here Beaky can burn a new set for you. If he doesn't have the image, he can contact me as I know this guy who knows a guy..

If you want to purchase from PBR as Strangeways suggested, I've got an order going in soonish and could include for you and forward on.

That sounds great!
I've looked at purchasing from pinball resource myself but i can't get my head around the payment methods.
What do you think something like this would be worth?

I haven't bought a ROM set from them, but I understand they are pretty pricing. The Beaky method might be the way to go - I'll shoot him a PM for you if you like??

Usually $20-$30 depending on the size of the Eprom.

Hi guys
The manual states that the chip no is an 18 pin device and its chip no is HM7643-5 PROM no 659.

Does that help anyone? I assume these chips are very hard to get nowdays?

I have seen on the web a web site called strikes and spares that make a replacement called a miot adaptor.

http://www.strikesandspares.de/rubrik3.htm

I'd like to stay original but this may be an option.
Has anyone given this a go?

Cheers
Wally




Thanks again

No, it's the earlier generation (first) sound only board.

They are a bipolar PROM 74s573 is a sub among others , they are not an Eprom.

If you have a good bin file for it then i could program you one no worries...$10.50 posted

...depends where you got the file from because i'm finding the sound prom files for the System 1 and early system 80 that are floating around on the net are corrupt and no good.
..at least ways i know the files for Hulk ,Torch , Spiderman , and James bond are bad because i've verified them against known good originals that i have and they don't verify , the check sums are different...even burnt one to be sure and it  sounded terrible.

If you have a good file , or could borrow a chip from someone that i could copy , then i could do it no worries if no one else can do it for you.
...Otherwise your other option is to buy one from the Pinball Resource.

I do have a file but absolutely no idea if it's any good. Any way (other than burning and trying) to verify?

Guy's
Thanks heaps for the help I'm more than willing to take the gamble.
I have a file but it's one from the web so again not sure of it. The file size is only 4Kb.

Do any of the pinmame / virtual pin emulators that are about try to use the original rom files?  I think they do, but  I've never used any of them but this might be a way to test. Someone on this forum who plays with the emulators should be able to comment.  I guess you'd also need the ears to know what the original is meant to sound like.
