Flashing VA0 bios chip to load dreamshell from SD card.

[leetuser]

I bought this chip pre flashed. It has a region free bios pre installed on it and I'm booting the console with this chip, so I don't need to switch anything. I'm trying to flash the chip so that I can boot directly to dreamshell.

"writing fail" This means that bad soldering again need to solder

When I press detect chip, that is what I see in my above screen shot.

I have a VA0 model dreamcast that I've installed a bios chip (obtained from Bad_Ad84). It's a VA0 board so wires going to 1 and 23 are swapped. Leg 1, 12, 23 raised.

The extra wires you see in the pictures are because I also have a older 4-wire mod chip installed on the retail bios chip. Could this be causing the problem? Here's some shots of my setup, but basically it's following the mmmonkey tutorial exactly except for what I mentioned since it's a VA0 chip/board.
