Supercic Snes Mod

[rafaelalvesals]

Hello, i was thinking in doing this mod on my snes, and i have a doubt about programing the PIC16F630. On sd2snes.de i can download a zip with the files to flash the chip, and i read there that i have to use the "supercic-lock.hex", but, and the other 3 files?
What do i do with the "supercic-lock.asm", "supercic-key.hex" and "supercic-key.asm" ?

Someone that already have done this can help me? I dont want to mess up =X

.asm are the source files for the code
.hex / lock is the file you need for the PIC16F630 for the SNES (what you need)
.hex / key is the file you program if you make a cic clone for a cartridge

[rafaelalvesals]

so extract lock hex and asm in the same folder and flash with the hex file?
Sorry to ask, but i'm really noob at this

[keropi]

You only need the .hex file to programm the PIC , the .asm is the source code that when compiled produces the .hex file
It is a good idea to open the .asm with notepad for example, there are instructions in there - it's just a text file.

bortie4938's boards is what I use as well, got them directly from him though... else you can get all the parts needed to make your own from Bad_Ad84: http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/for-sale-modding-parts-chips-etc.39971/

bortie4938's work is available here, there are links in the projects that lead to OSHPARK for pcb orders: https://github.com/borti4938/Switchless-Mods and https://github.com/borti4938/SNES-AddOn-PCBs

and here are the pcbs: https://oshpark.com/profiles/borti4938

thanks guys, i know about the kit from bad_ad84, this pcb i didnt know about, but both for me will take too much and will get a lot expensive to get it, because i'm on brazil, its easy for me buy the parts here and find someone to flash the chip, but thanks guys, help me a lot!

ofcourse, building your own is certainly doable and cheaper, that's what I did before all the fancy pcbs:





are you moddin a 1-CHIP or an older 3-CHIP snes?

[rafaelalvesals]

the older one, i dont trust myself for this kind of solder so i have a guy that do this jobs for me, i'm only need the parts and he does the difficult part hahaha, i'm thinking in show him this video for he do the mod for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE4-N7lmKH4

its in spanish, but we don't really need to read anything, the video is pretty clear how to do just looking at it

[rafaelalvesals]

here is some pics of my board, just to be clear, based on the video, i mark the chips that i need to do, its this one or i'm wrong?

heres the board:



Here where i mark the chips:



red one is the cic

yellow= s-clk (on my board has other name, but bassed on the pin, in think that is the same chip)

Purple= ppu2

blue=ppu1

green= swram

orange=best place to place the pic16f630
