Maybe a PALCE16V8H which most of times it's used in place of GAL16V8 but I doubt your programmer support it.

It does not. Well thanks for the help anyways! You got me farther than I would've by myself. I'll have to find someone local to burn them for me.Maybe a PALCE16V8H which most of times it's used in place of GAL16V8 but I doubt your programmer support it.
... you could buy a TL866CS (or TL866A with ISP feature), they both can program GAL16V8 and are cheap.
Don't bother with the TL866CS. I have one - the 16V8 is on the supported list, it goes through the motions of programming the part, it says it programmed the part yet the part is still blank. MFR didn't matter - Lattice, National Semi, Atmel... none of them worked properly.
All 16V8s are JEDEC compatible. I use an Advin Pilot U128+, this thing will program anything including the real old PROMs and EPROMs. Nice feature this programmer has is the "RAL" function - this will take a JEDEC file from something like a 16L8 and reconfigure it to perform the same function within a 16V8.
So I picked up a programmer and Im ready to start programming. I don't have a program on my computer to download Jed files. What software do you guys recommend?
I don't know if you are meaning this but you can download .JED files from JAMMArcade.net using your browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc..)
So I have the programmer and the files in .BIN format but when I try to open Jedutil the DOS screen opens and quickly closes. I am not very computer savvy but I can usually work through things. Why cant I open Jedutil to convert the file? Im sure im doing something stupid like usual. Can somebody walk me through converting a .BIN file into a .Jed file in layman's terms. Thanks
First of all, which is your operating system?
Anyway, to convert a binary fuse map (the format used by MAME) to JED, you have to run this command from a DOS prompt (don't double-click the JEDUTIL executable otherwise it will closes itself)
jedutil -convert dump.bin dump.jed
P.S.
To open a DOS prompt follow this procedure:

Thanks Caius, I really appreciate your patience with me on this. I never used dos before so that is new for me. I have to mess around a little more, when I copied your instructions I get the error in the picture. I definitely downloaded (at least I think) Jedutil to my computer. Ill have to do some more research. Thanks again.
