hi i wanted to use my original burnin rubber cartridge to start the eprom containing Ghosts'N Goblins makeover demo
using eprom mc27c4001
but it gives me black screen.
is not feasible or am I doing something wrong?
i tried with a smaller game on eprom mc27c1001 pang and this works.
something help me?

Hi, welcome to the CPCWiki!

Could you post a picture of your cartridge?

We have several pictured here for reference: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Mainboard_Versions#System_Cartridge_.28BIOS_of_CPC.2B.29_and_Game_Cartridges

I think that most probably you'll have to set up the right links on the cartridge to tell it you have a bigger eprom.

Cheers,
Rob

Those LinKs on the Cartridge PCB are used to set the capacity of the EPROM used. The details are on the Wiki Page. For an m27c4001 you also need to reconfigure the links

hello from what i see to use the eprom 27c4001 i should make 2 jumpers on lk4 and lk2
right ?


robcfg

You have to close (connect) 3 of them, LK2, LK4 and LK6 for the MC27C4001 to work.

hello I made the connections but the eprom written by me of ghost n goblins does not start.
since I converted it with cprtools, I wonder does this program work with this 512kb rom?
does anyone have a ghost n goblins demo image.bin that I can try?
thanks everyone for the support


tjohnson

Is the 4001 rom 4x the required size so best thing is to copy the game 4x onto the rom to fill it then it will probably work.

Raizing77

hello I don't have to write the original 128k ghost n goblins rom but the 512k remake demo released in 2020
do i have to write it 4 times?
I'll try .
tonight I deleted 4 eprom and tonight I try to write them and try again.

the doubt is that the program I use to convert them to .bin i cpr is not compatible with 512k images


robcfg

Is this the version you're trying to run? https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/ghost'n-goblins-(6128-version)/

If that's the case, your problem is that is 128kb only and the GX4000 only has 64kb of ram.

Ok, where can I download the cpr file?

Raizing77

hello this and the link
https://cpcrulez.fr/GamesTest/ghouls_n_goblins.htm

i converted to bin with cprtools but the games i wrote and tried on the rom don't work
27c4001
can anyone tell me if the cprtools program works correctly? I have another question but if in the 512k eprom 27c4001 I write a smaller 256 rom for example this should start?
(I ask why I tried but this game doesn't even start)


Raizing77


hello everyone i solved
it was connected on the lk1 board
I had to cut the track and now the 512kb roms start perfectly
the cprtools program works perfectly.
on 512kb eproms you can write all types of 128, 256 and 512 roms without problems
thanks everyone for the support
