#Needham eprom programmer update#
The 3.61.1 software included a firmware update to the PP3 and that firmware update process partially bricked my PP3. I needed to write some 2764's for Ice Cold Beer. It has worked fine for me (dozens of uses) until recently. I've had a Pocket Programmer 3 for a couple years. I know this is a super old post but it has decent google result placement for future readers, wanted to drop in my 2 cents. Kits, upgrades and test equipment for pinball machines You'll probably want to pick up an A/C adapter for it for eproms that take higher voltages. Yes there are cheaper Willem programmers, but those are the ones that people seem to have more trouble with. Just my opinion but I think lots of other people will recommend the GQ-4X as well. It supports probably 50x more chips than that Pocket Programmer 3 did. About 4 years ago I picked up a GQ-4X and have programmed hundreds of chips and it's still going strong. They repaired it free & told me next time it would cost me. used it a few dozen times, it died and I had to send it back for warranty repair. I had a Pocket Programmer 3 about 10 years ago (parallel port. Is it absolutely perfect all the time? No. You'll see tons of people recommending this programmer on arcade/pinball forums & newsgroups.

It's not what the guys doing professional ROM programming are going to use, but it should program just about any arcade/pinball EPROMS you need it to.

The Top and GQ series are all chinese designed software that feels "incomplete" and is loosely translated to english. The PPII has software written in english and reads well, but is a text based program and needs a computer with a parallel port (a PP III USB exists but for more money on the used market). I have a Top2004 (doesn't burn anything above 12.5V reliably contrary to claims it does), a Pocket Programmer II (works great with the late 70's/all through the 80s stuff, and just got one of the GQ4x's a few months ago. This 4x one is pretty highly rated, but there are also classic ones like the Pocket Programmer II and then even older stuff like Needham and others that definitely do rock-solid burns for the older higher voltage programming chips of 35+ years ago. Here is a copy if you dare to try it yourself: For Windows XP usersĪll the downloads are WinZip 7.0 or later format.The 4x is a decent one, however with most of the Willem based ones, sometimes it is questionable whether or not it can get enough amperage at the 21V and 25V programming levels old chips like a 2516, 2716 and similar need, which would be needed for the Bally/Midway stuff like Pac/Gal/Map, etc.Ĭheck out a few threads over at KLOV. myself since I’m still using my programmer on my old win98 PC.

On the modules, all I seem to use is either the M1A/M1B or the M2A/M2B. The EMP10 to 30 all seem to use the same software just their ability to burn different chips and speeds seem to differ. I grabbed this software from Needhams website before they closed their doors in early 2000 or so. The Needham software runs in a DOS shell. I do have some software you can download for XP systems but I never tested it, install at your own risk. You don’t need an internet connection so any simple PC that runs Win98 ill work.

I installed it on an older PC that is running Windows 98. Needham’s EMP-10, EMP-20 and EMP-30 Programmers are relitifly easy to use and hook up as long as you have an older PC laying around.
