It's worth noting that it's not a USB programmer, it's parallel port and only uses USB for power. They're manufactured by a lot of different people, so quality control could vary though. I don't think the Willem's would be so popular if they didn't work. So if you stuck with me and read all this, I gratefully appreciate advice of which EPROM burner to go with, possibly where to buy it and how much I should expect to pay. I have 28 27C512 which I hope I can make SMB1 hack repros with. I don't plan to tackle anything like that just yet - probably stick to NROMs, UNROMs and other simple boards. I know that eventually with the later, more complex games, Nintendo began to use custom chips that don't match up with off the shelf EPROMs, and hence need wired cross connections. I have pre-existing knowledge of NES boards and soldering skills to remove the mask roms in place. I primarily use a imac, but do have an older circa 2004 PC with XP if needbe. So what I would like to know is if someone might be able to recommend a modern, USB EPROM burner well suited for the task of making NES reproductions. Researching on my own lead me to realize 8-bit EPROMs are measured in Megabits, which are divisible by 8, so I came up with this chart. In preparation do getting into that I have purchased several dozen EPROMs, mostly UV Erasable ones but also a handful of flash ones as well. I realize that I'll be learning high level programming in languages such as C++, Java, VisualBasic, etc and probably not 6502 assembly, but I do nevertheless have the interest in learning assembly and more to the point of this thread, producing my own reproduction carts. This fall I will be going back to school to learn videogame programming. For the tl dr crowd, my question is what ERPOM burner should I buy that would best be suited to making NES and Famicom reproductions?
