Hello, long time lurker, just not getting into things. I figured I'd start by making repros of games I wanted (Mini Putt, Rockman Exile and Earthbound Zero to start) before delving into programming. However I've hit a snag.
I'm used to soldering and have all the burning tools needed and whatnot but a few questions that I can't find answers to but I'm sure are easy.
1) I have a pure-USB willem programmer - however do I still need an AC adapter to burn the flash/eproms properly or does the USB power do the job itself? Remember - pure usb not the parallel based ones.
If I need one, where is a good place to get it?
2) The soldering act itself is quite easy for me, I'm a veteran of region modding saturns and psx's and whatnot. However the following directions seem to stump me:
I can do the wiring and soldering. But here's what I can't seem to grasp.
I know where the pins are but...
where's hole 24/A16? - is one label easier than the other to find?
how do I know where the GND spots are?
same with hole 1/A17
any help?
-AB+

Solder pin 2 to hole 24 (A16)
