I have no blue on my bottom monitor after doing some research I saw a thread in here about the color proms so I decided to swap the lower F8 with the upper F7 and when I did this I lost blue on the top and gain blue on the bottom but it was in the wrong places (different code) So this is what told me I needed the color prom.

I ordered a new F8 color prom from Steph@hobbieroms and I received it on Friday, After installing it I have Blue but again in the wrong places.

I have a Chps ver. B roms and I understand that the version A roms can not be used with version B roms and visa versa Steph has no knowlage of any version differances

So my question is does anyone here have the rom dump for the version B F8 color prom?

Or know where to order it?

Any Information would be helpful.
 
Did you get the same exact problem with the new 8f that you did when you swapped in 7F? Have you tried putting the new 8F in the top monitors spot (7F). Extremely unlikely, but it could be possible he burnt the wrong location.

The version A and B EProms aren't really related from what I can tell for the color proms. The SPO manual mentions the color proms with white or pink labels and you need to put the correct ones on for you board type. I've yet to find a confirmed white or pink label, but the pink fades and it is hard to tell. I also have had little luck in getting anyone to backup their ROM revisions including the color proms. BTW, what revision is on your CPU roms should say something like e or e-1 in the bottom right corner of the label.

Another ides is for you to dump you color proms? If you do and we find out they are the same as the dumped color proms then the proms may not be your problem.
 
I did try the 7F position with the same results so he did burn the right chip but version A, I do have the pink dot on all the labels. My prom has the label CHS1-B-8F if anyone has a dead board with this chip please let me know.

I have no way to dump my proms but if you could point me in the direction of a inexpensive usb version and I'll look into it.
 
I probably have them, but they are packed away as I'm in the middle of a move. I'm not sure of an inexpensive usb device that will read the proms.

If you get a chance, let me know what revision your CPU roms are when you get a chance. If they are different, I'll read in your proms and eproms for you.
 
Sorry I forgot to add that to the last post, they are revision e the e is in pink. This is a CHP1-02-CPU,CHP1-02-Video,CHP1-02-Bak board setup. I'm sure I could dump the roms & eproms if I had the device to do so but I would send them to you if needed. If anyone here could point out something for this that's somewhat inexpensive (unders $100) and it would be really nice to be able to burn Nintendo Vs. eproms too, please let me know.

After Reading the SPO manual I see now that I need someone with a SPO using the CHP1-02-BAK board to be able to dump the 8F prom for me. If you can burn me one and send it I will gladly pay you for this. Or if you have a extra 8F prom from a -02-bak board I would buy that too.
