Hi! I have a GQ-4x4 usb programmer and I have used it succesfully in the past to dump and write different ICs. I also have a playstation modchip with 12C508A written on it, that I want to dump its data to a bin file. First of all I can't find the chip on the device list so I choose the closest one "12F508A". Still I cannot read its contents - every time it shows different data on the buffer. I have confirmed that the chip is in the correct position (pin 1 of the chip on pin 12 of the programmer)
Is this IC (12c508a) compatible with the gq-4x4 device? Is there something I am doing wrong and I cannot read its contents?
I think I figured it out, but I'm not sure I did it the right way. I found a reference of the 12c508a inside "devices.txt" file, and I added it to the supported list below (removed the ";" in front of the sentence) I was then able to see the "12c508a" under the supported devices list when I opened the programmer's GUI, and dumped its contents successfully. Is this the correct way to read this chip?
