Action Replay question.
G'day homoerectuses!
A mate just gave me 2 Action Replay cartridges, a 4.1 and a Pro 4.2, I've gotta choose one and give the other one back, anyway here's the question,
looking inside both of them, the PCB's are identical, but the Pro 4.2 has a second 28 pin IC soldered in. That same socket inside the 4.1 has nothing in it. Looking up the IC specs on the net, it comes up as 64kb SRAM. I'm guessing that's the difference between the Pro and standard AR's? |

According to the docs on the cyberpunx site:
"On real Action Replay hardware the 32kb roms can be used whenever the eprom is on a socket and can be replaced. Simply burn the .BIN files with a start address added (if needed by the eprom burner only ofcourse) to a 27c256 eprom and plug it in."
Apparently on AR version 4.x to 5.x the eprom is socketed so replacement is easy.
WVL: points taken, sounds like i'd better just stick with the original...
Thanks for the replies fellas, mucho appreciation. |

WVL is right here ... IF you burn the 32kb version, make sure to keep your old eprom intact. Also the 32kb versions will very soonish be discontinued ... too much hazzle fuzzing in for 32kb release ... any v5 does best for a plain 32 kb AR.
