Amiga 500 Rev 5. and ECS chip set...??

[save2600]

How about those Maxis games such as Sim Ant, Sim Life, etc.? Then there's Civilization and maybe even Super Street Fighter. But I'm pretty sure those Sim/strategy games used the ECS Denise and her higher res screen modes. Been too long since I've played any of 'em though...

Dear, God, PLEASE don't do this with the ROM.  Go pick up a 40-pin DIP socket to modify.  I never understood why people would recommend doing mods with the actual chips, like the stereo SID upgrades.  If you're in the 'States, you can still pick up the socket at most Radio Shanty stores, or you can order from Jameco, Mouser, etc.

If you know what you're doing and are not holding a 30+watt iron to any pins for any good length of time, there's no reason for the fuss. I normally recommend what you suggested though and did just that (with the socket), but had to reverse what I had done recently in order to fit an 68kIDE device into the 68000 socket! lol  With a socketed Kickstart chip in place, it wouldn't fit

I did get my ROM 3.1 up and running, i did do the mod, so thank you all for the kind reminder...

Just waiting for my Super Denise and Fatter Angus to arrive from Softhut.com
I'm getting spooked becuase I have not heard back since he accepted my  paypal payment... I'm hoping he is enjoying the holidays and is too drunk with the festive spirit to send the parts...

Hoping I get them soon...
