I have some old electronic audio/MIDI equipment that has it's OS/Software on eprom(s). I have read the contents of the eprom but can't make much sense of it. The data is good, as I can burn a new eprom with this same .bin file & it works in the device. I read the eproms & save them as both .hex & .bin, but either way everything looks like garbage on screen. I can make out some of the text, but it's almost as if it's missing letters & out of order. I am not sure if the editing can be done in WinHex or do I need a cross/disassembler to view the actual code (I think it's all either in C or 68K Assembler). Also, in one of my devices the OS is stored across 4 eproms, I can "Unify" them in WinHex, but I am not sure what order I should be unifying these in. Since I can only unify 2 files at once. In most cases there is an MS & LS eprom (2 proms), but in this case there are 4 proms. Not sure if I should unify, 1&2, 3&4 then unify those together. Any suggestions? My goal is to do some minor reverse engineering & customize some of the options in the software. Mainly re-title'ing & translating cryptic menus & shortcut keys. Thanks in advance | ||

It is most likely the Motorola 68000 assembler. The reason I say this is because of the popularity of eprom programmers based on this format especially if it is a older device. You probably can modify the visible text strings, but you may be limited to the string lengths that are already coded unless you know assembler and can change the string allocation to avoid buffer overruns. |
