1. By the scph model you gave me (scph-7501) its a USA console. so you should use the USA hex. Any of those PIC's are fine. if you had between the 3 i would use the 12c508/a but any of them works fine but make sure you use the right hex for the right PICs (See my last post)
2. I can't see why not, it should load any game with the newest Anti-piracy technology with no problems as spyro 3 just proved it
3. From what i hear PIC's cannot be overwritten (One time only record)
Heres a guide on recording the PIC properly if you dont know how.
So how did I burned the chip:
1. I used IC-Prog 1.06C Don't use 1.06 (in my case when I read the chip it only gave me 0FFF's and no osc value at the end) 1.06B works too.
2. Hardware settings:
- Programmer: JDM Programmer
- Interface: Windows API
- I/O delay: 1
- Communication: All boxes unchecked
3. Settings > Options > Programming:
- Verify after programming: unchecked
- Verify during programming: checked
4. Settings > Options > Misc:
- Enable NT/2000/XP Driver (be sure you have icprog.sys in the same folder as IC-Prog executable)
- Enable Vcc control for JDM
5. Command > Read All
6. Write down last 4 digits (mine were 0C60)
7. Load the .HEX
8. scroll down and double click last 4 digits 0FFF write by hand the last 4 digits in the lower box noted down in step 5 (do not copy/paste !)
9. Command > Program All.
10. If all went well you should get a Verifying OK notification. Optional you can reload the .HEX file in another buffer tab and compare the two (Buffer > Compare)
The only digits different should be the last 4 calibration digits.
Install the chip and ENJOY!
