I searched all over these forums but couldn't find my answer. I am going to burn my vs files .prg and .chd and when I load up the erased eprom (using 2764a's) it ask me what type of file it is.. .rom .bin. etc.. but .prg and .chd are not on the list.. Is there a general one I can just use to make it work.. like .bin? I have the GQ-4X burner with windows 7. Thanks
 
well all the games that have a series of files.. usually 6 I burned using the .rom extention and they work... but any of the daughter board games i renamed to .bin and so far they are not working.. I removed the good working chips first of course.. but I am just trying to figure this out..

so far..

SMB - burned 6 chips.. works great... using .rom extension in software

golf - burned 6 chips.. works great... using .rom extension in software

excitebike - burned 6 chips.. works great.. using .rom extension in software

dr. mario (daughter board) - burned 2 chips.. doesnt work.. prg and chd changed to .bin also tried not changing to bin but still used .bin in software

castlevania (daughter board) - burned 1 chip.. doesnt work.. changed prg to .bin doesnt work.. prg and chd changed to .bin also tried not changing to bin but still used .bin in software

rbi baseball (daughter board) - burned 2 chips.. doesnt work.. prg and chd changed to .bin also tried not changing to bin but still used .bin in software

super sky kit (daughter board) - burned 2 chips.. doesnt work.. prg and chd changed to .bin also tried not changing to bin but still used .bin in software

good thing I have a TON of good erased chips :)
 
I ran into this issue as well and found the daughterboard games use a different chip than 2764, so i believe you aren't getting the full image. At least i tried it with super sky kid and failed. Definitely let us knower what you find out because i still want to put super sky kid in my rbi baseball :)
 
Speaking specifically for Castlevania, I can tell you it uses a 1 meg chip, not the smaller 64 bit chips used in the non-daughter card games. I just finished programming my Castlevania, so this process is very fresh in my mind :)

I ordered a few extra 1 meg chips recently, so I could burn you that one, at least.

EDIT:

  • Looks like Dr. Mario uses a 32KB and 64KB chip
  • RBI baseball is a 64KB chip
  • Super SkyKid is 2 32KB chips


Not positive on the above 3 games, but I'm positive on Castlevania.

Yeah some of those daughter boards from like konami have special chips instead of the norm. I think lilman573 might know more about it if you ask him.
 
Smalltownguy2 is right on the castlevania, my chip on that board is a little bigger than the 2764's, smalltownguy2 if you can I will get a castlevania from ya, I think mine is messed up. BTW what chip model number does castlevania use? Also for these daughter cards I will have to figure out what chip they use if they aren't the 2764's which seem to fit really tight in those daughter cards.
 
As always I am coming up with dumb little ideas. So today I got bored and started printing chip decals for all my vs games. Here is the Excitebike set. The little marquee decal goes on the PPU heatsink, the rest is the CPU and 6 chips... Will post pics tonight when I install them on my chips. Just thought I would fancy these chips up a bit... LOL

You got a deal.. Im making a set for every single Vs game so Ill just send you all of them. :) I will be done with them in the next day or so. I just got to figure out each game has what size chips and so on.. for the games I dont have
 
Just thought I would post one more picture on how they turned out. This is just the prototype decals.. I will probably change a few things for the final versions.

No problem, since they are so dam tiny I figure $5 shipped and you get to choose 4 sets. $10 shipped for 10 sets. $18 shipped for 20 sets.

edit: Any ideas on other little decals I can make for you fellow KLOVERs? :)

I will take a few sets from you when you have them all done.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I plan on offering vs. ROM burning when I release my reproduction daughter cards for castlevania/top gun and Dr Mario, and the universal PPU should be out then as well. I figure people are going to need chips, and these sticker toppers will be perfect.

I would not really need the PPU or CPU sticker.

billybob2236, I wrote down everything you want so when I am done with them all I can give you a price quote and we can go from there.

Ok so I got many of them done. The CPU decal now has a space in the middle that also gets removed to show the actual CPU number. There might be errors or some stuff misspelled, not sure yet because I worked many hours on this and finally got done hours later. Here are some pics samples.
