Hi All,
Got myself a Willem GQ-4X, and I am well happy with it.
Anyway, I have been going through a load of dead & unknown boards and using ROMNation to check what they are.
Anyway, when I read the EPROMs, I obviously get the HEX file displayed. Is there anyway of translating this into something that means anything. i.e. the actual source-code?
Cheers
John

EPROM queries

Re: EPROM queries
You might find strings in the HEX using an editor but these files you are dumping are binarys which means they are compiled so you'll have as much luck disassembling them as you would a Windows executable (actually less).

Re: EPROM queries
So if I wanted to do my own Phoenix of a CPS2 title, how do I find the relevant areas to readdress?

I'm pretty certain you can find "PHOENIX EDITION" rom images ready to burn online rather than go patching dumps yourself.
The process is explained here anyway: http://cps2shock.retrogames.com/suicide.html"

Re: EPROM queries
Phoenix was used as an example.
But sticking with it, when Raz added the useless bits like jukebox & stuff, I assume he didn't sit down & just start typing hex or binary. I assume he used C or similar & compiled it.
I'm looking at a couple of disassemblers atm.
