Emax

I think you misunderstand what Scrambled Megs IS.

Scrambled Megs was specifically made available for the purpose of if the Emax 2 LOST it’s memory config, and you wanted to get it back.
And if you paid for 8MB upgrade, you certainly would want it back…..

Scrambled Megs only works if:
1) The memory chips are in place
2) The correct PALs are in place.

PALs are used as locking chips.
Emu sends a specific set of PALs with the memory upgrade to lock you into that amount of memory.

You can put in all the memory you want, and pay for a scrambled megs- but if the PALs are not the correct ones- the added memory will never be seen.

Otherwise, everyone would have bought a 2MB kit, and just got the DRAM themselves and updated to 8MB

Hopefully you see where I went with this.

PS-  I  haven’t made any chips, these binaries came from E-mu, just in a proprietary format which I had to convert to a usable format….

No I appreciate your help.  So what happened to the Scrambled Megs way of upgrading with a code or is it better to put the chips in that you have made.  I guess that would require me to buy a ic programmer?  I just want my dm (AW) samples to play.
