I made a lot of dumps yesterday, about a third of the working PCB:s
left over from making Pac-Man cartridges was holding in the code of
the first or second PSU - only one of them released the data to the
databus...
When starting at my personal collection of carts I've had half dumps
of two carts of twelve so far - don't know why they do that, I imagine
it's the PC0 reset signals that aren't proper. Of all dumps made in
total (maybe 30-40) with all versions that I havew tested there has
been two that has dumped all code but left a gap between the first and
second PSU - very easy to fix but that too seems to have something to
do with resetting the PC0.
I have marked all the "hard" ones and I'll see if they dump OK when I
get the 20MHz PIC16F628A - otherwise I'll try and find a signal scheme
that works. As I might have mentioned before there's a gap too large
(according to the datasheets of the 3851 PSU and 3853 SMI) between the
first write-pulse and the correct ROMC-signal of the PC0-reset so I'll
probably try to adjust that first and then maybe I'll try and get it
(PHI) closer to 2MHz so I can try and follow the exact times in the
datasheets.
Any suggestions are welcome - why not build one of your own and we can
compare results?
