I am a complete beginner with EPROMS.
I bought the TL866 programmer so I could learn about Eproms and also have some fun putting custom games on game cartridges like the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, NES, and SNES.
I started with the Genesis / MD and managed to copy the exsisting chips in a game I have already. That worked no problem. The game had 2 8 bit chips in it which I duplicated using 2 m27c4001s.. The original proms were 256KB *kilobyte* proms programmed in an odd even arrangement. Anyhow, programming some games works but most don't and I'm not sure why. I think I am splitting the files up properly so, I am at a loss.
So I decided to try to use a 32 bit 42pin eprom such as the m27c322 to eliminate the need for file splitting and possibly make this work.. I read that it was possible to program 42 pin chips in this post..

I understand I need to take a breadboard and wire it up to match another chip, but what other chip should I select and how to split files to program properly... Back to splitting files... :-/
Just looking for advice to get things off the ground.
Thanks in advance.
