I have a Tetris (5358) System 16b board with a suicided FD1094. I was looking into the process of replacing the FD1094 with a 10mghz 68000 and doing the necessary steps to convert it to an unencrypted Alien Syndrome, and I wanted others opinions on the process to make sure I understand it correctly.

From what I gather looking at the following 2 sites....

replacing the FD1094 with a 10mghz 68000
only additionally requires replacing the encrypted roms with unencrypted (unprotected) roms, so in my case of converting to alien syndrome, I need a full set of 256kbit 27C256 and 512kbit 27C512 eproms and then move the jumpers and install the eproms in the correct positions as in this photo of a alien syndrome 5358 board...

One thing I don't understand however is this part of the converting process from arcade-projects...

"The main program ROMs (A5 and A7) have to be non JEDEC 1mbit EPROMs (unless the game uses a 512kbit EPROM) - 27C1000 or 27C301 are the type you will require. The other ROMs are all JEDEC type"



Any additional input would be greatly appreciated!
