10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

anyway, i'm sure i can manage those, but my question is, does anyone know where to source the chips (preferrably preprogrammed)
i tried the guy on assemblergames, but got no reply.

You could solder in a DIP42 socket so you can change the bios easily if they ever update it.
It looks to be straightforward. A 27c800 will be a pin to pad match for 2 to 43 of the original SOIC44.
 (Should be a piece of cake after all those Starfox2 carts )

well, which system do you mean? saturn or DC?
also, the only real problem i see with that course of action is a clearance issue, some of these are pretty constricted in space.
ideas?

If you can't fit socketed chips in there, Hobbyroms can probably hook you up with those SOIC44 Flash chips.
