I bought an "untested" Pole Position board set a while back, I finally got around to testing it in my cabinet. Surprisingly, it didn't work! Well, actually it does work partially, just some graphics issues as well as some sounds aren't there. I figured I'd start swapping chips from my working set over to the other set to see if I can isolate faulty components. I'm wondering, supposing I do manage to isolate the issues as being ROMs, should I buy a programmer and learn to use it? It seems like it would be far more cost-effective, especially if I end up like a dozen or more bad ROMs, the cost of having these burned and shipped would get pretty pricey in a hurry.
Are these programmers something that can be used by a layman like myself?
