[solved] best chipset for bios mod - shwoaps - 23.02.2015 17:02 Best in that sense, that games will run best. I'm preparing for future, when DS will totally replace gdrom . I have pal VA1 dreamcast. But would like to know best chipset and for VA0 model (it uses 5volt line). I guess i need to choose one from http://www.dc-swat.ru/page/dreamshell/firmware/ but some are not tested, and only *should* work by specification. Is there any difference between chipsets brands? Should i get with most memory (4096 KB) or there a no difference between 2048 KB. Maybe 2mb will work faster than 4mb? i found in internet: >> 29LV160TMC >> It's got Multimedia eXtensions. Now you can play POD real smooth! and it got me thinking, that with some chipsets games will work better. I guess i will need use ebay to buy. or there a better places? RE: best chipset for bios mod - SWAT - 24.02.2015 15:16 Forget about speed, it's works identical, because timings for the chip on G1 bus doesn't changed. And I think it's really no difference in games, because games doesn't use BIOS every time... The maximum some games uses fonts from BIOS, not more. Solder what you find RE: [solved] best chipset for bios mod - shwoaps - 24.02.2015 20:03 Is there any sense to put bigger than 2mb chipset? RE: [solved] best chipset for bios mod - SWAT - 25.02.2015 10:24 No sense, more than 2MB we can't use, because DC doesn't have additional address lines for BIOS chip, as for flashrom. One really difference it's a speed of chip programming, some chips support "page write" (few bytes per iteration), some only byte per iteration. But I think there is no need to accelerate the programming process, it is not so common we do. |
