How to connect this 16bit adapter?

Hey there,

I bought an 16bit adapter but I'm not sure how to cennect it to my willem. Maybe you guys have a clue:

Below U3 are the pins which are locked into the ZIF socket.

This is the adapter:

This is the connector where the adapter is connected to the willem with a cable:

The backsite of the adapter:

These are the pins where the cable of the adapter will be connected to. I have no clue which way it should go in:

PS: Does anybody know what this "J2"-Jumper on the adapter is for?

Any help is much appreciated

Just a heads up, you're not going to get much help here, and you may even get a lot of heat for even asking for help with repros. The fact of the matter is that 99% of repros are going to be straight-up piracy, and a large chunk of that ends up on Ebay for really high prices. Of course, you're not going to do that... nobody ever does. But they do. So regardless of your intentions, you're not going to find people here really willing to help. Besides, a lot of this info is already here in the forum, from people who got lucky and managed to catch people on a good day. However, for your questions, you're asking stuff that is specific to "how do I use my Willem", and that is better suited for Willem's own forums.

Perhaps if you tell us what homebrew game (or at least total conversion mod) you're planning to reproduce, people might become more willing to help.

Sure thing,

I got a Dragon Quest VI and want to play it - but I don't understand Japanese at all :/

...yeah... :/

And like I said, your questions are really just about how to use a Willem. I really suggest asking somewhere that focuses on them. Those things are so finicky that you really need people dedicated to it to track down issues related to the multitude of board revisions, clones, etc. I'd try the MCUMall forums.

On my 16-bit adapter the four lines that are relevant are labeled on the 16-bit adapter PCB, allowing me to fabricate an appropriate cable. In your case, just trace the cable you have been given and see which lines match up to which spots... A19 on the adapter goes to A19 on the willem, etc. etc.

Thanks for the hint!

I made a quick diagram:

I'll try to connect the cable an write the eprom - if it fails, I'll just swap it around and see if it works Thanks!

Why are you using a 16 bit device? Don't you need an eight bit rom? I am not familiar with dragon quest cartridge. What is the cart I.D? 1A3M??

I just looked up what type of cartridge is used. It's a 1J3M. - a common hi rom cart.
You'd be slightly crazy to try to put a 16 bit 27c322 42 pin EPROM in this.
As previous posts have recommended, the Tsop adapter from buyicnow is the way to go.
You send them the file you want programmed, they'll program it and all you have to do is remove the mask rom and solder in the Tsop adapter you get from them.
