Having trouble programming a psx pic

I have this programmer:

and this pic:

I am using microburn software with the multimode 3 hex (MM3EUR.HEX)

The software sees the chip and I can read it but I get the following prompt and error when trying to write:



which i select no, then I get:



Any ideas?

 

You probably need to read the chip, note the calibration value, load the hex, enter the calibration value by pressing "CALIB" and then program it.

 

If you have problem with calib value use Mayumi HEX, it doesn't use internal osc...

 

will try these tomorrow (I left it at work, doh!)

thanks

 

However, you always need to write exact OSCAL value. But in case you can not recupare the default value (maybe you have overwrited it) and will have to put one at random, I recommended mayumi hex code

 

click yes
click read
click insert/ok/yes

 

ok got a bit further today, I am using a different version of microburn that the bay seller sent me (not sure if this makes a difference) and I am clicking yes to the change config prompt. I get a progress bar on 'programming' then it gives me:



I only have 2 more chips left, I understand these are use once? I am going to order some rewritable ones. Thanks for replies so far

 

Give IC Prog 1.6c a try if microburn doesn't work out. apparently it works like a champ (Don't use regular 1.6)

*Edit* There's been success with mm3 using ic prog 1.6c

 

Buy some 12c629 - the mm3 code was ported and released recently and they are rewriteable. I have used them without issue.

 

why 12c629? Use directly the 12F508\9

Also i never heard a mm3 code ported on 12c629
I've heard a oldcrow 4 wires ported to a 12F629
Maybe you are confused Bad_Ad84 XD

BTW buy a 12F50X it work same

Not confused. includes source code too.

Also, I had trouble with the 12F509 chips I tried - but I only tried 1 and never got around to testing again. 12F629 work fine though and cheaper for me.

 

WoW! thanks for the sharing Bad_Ad84!
I've never haved any trouble with my 12F508\9 :/ (I've tested all HEX on all PAL console). Wich problem you had?
Theoretically a program written for C series sould work without any problem with E and F series..

 

Yeah, I know it should work and I didnt say it doesnt above. I just dont recommend anything I have not gotten working myself.

But, I imagine I just need to add a 100nf decoupling cap, this has solved issues with a bunch of consoles I have modded recently. Basically it fails the ID check and says "please insert a PS1 game". Adding a cap and works fine, I imagine I was unlucky with the console I tested the 12F509 on and it was one that needed the cap.

But either way, the 12F629 are cheaper for me to buy - so I will carry on using those for the time being.

 

You get that error if you set the Fuse to protect, test it and see if it works

 

OK IC prog would not let me choose a com port apart from 1-4 (my programmer is on com 6)

I went back to microburn and tried disabling the fuse protect and it worked so have managed to program the last 2 chips successfully.

Many thanks to everyone who helped!

 

You can change your comport of the programmer in devicemanager

 

aha, will remember that

OK off to order some 12F629's
