Rom Splitting problems
Hey I am having trouble splitting the rom for Recca into a 256 PRG and 256 CHR. I can't seem to get any of the DOS command files to work at all so I was hoping that someone could split it for me and send it over?
Re: Rom Splitting problems
This is somewhat of a longshot, but if you have Windows 7 x64, you could install and run XP Mode and run it from within there. I did that when I was dabbling with burning ROMs. I'd do it for you, but I've clean installed Windows 8 now, so I don't have XP Mode anymore.

Re: Rom Splitting problems
So I was able to finally split the rom thanks to a program made by a guy named Lincoln at [url:http://nintendoage.com/forum/messagevie ... adid=63070]nintendoage.com[/url]
However now there seems to be a new problem with the rom burning. I purchased a GQ-4X from mcumall and I am using 27C020 Eprom chips. The game I want to play is Recca. Each chip is 256 kkb but the games CHR and PRG data are only 128 kb so I use the rom spitter to double them so that each chip will be filled. My donor cart is Batman which also has an MM3 chip on it so I figured that would be compatible. After soldering the 2 eproms to the pcb using Callan Brown's tutorial I popped the game in and nothing happened other than the occasional green letters and numbers that would pop up. I firgured I maybe I done something wrong with soldering the eproms on after checking all the wiring to be correct. So I took the CHR eprom off and put a new one on. The same thing happened. I took the PRG eprom off and soldered a new one on. Still nothing changed. So I am wondering if maybe I am doing something wrong with programming the eprom chips themselves. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Re: Rom Splitting problems
Try reprogramming the EPROMs but without mirroring the ROMs. Just split the ROM and burn them, don't double them.
