ASIC65 for Steel Talons

(1 / 1)


I received the EPROM from Glenn to program the ASIC65 for Steel Talons.

The checksum is correct but the Version Number is not at the correct
address in the EPROM. (The 68010 program used to program ASICs calculates
the checksum but looks at a specific location in the EPROM for the
Version Number.)

It should be at ROM location $0F; instead it is at ROM location $0D.
If you plug the ROM into the MultiSync Board at location 210T, the Version
data should be $FF30 at address $4001E.

This probably does not affect the Version Number delivered to the game
by an ASIC65 command; however, it loses something valuable, which is 
knowing that the correct part is being programmed.

Hard Drivin' and Road Riot are correct. Please try to figure out why the
Version Number is being put at different locations.
