Hi fellow button-bashers,
I've been scouring the net and FAQs for one piece of info about the universe bios sofar with no luck, so I thought I'd ask it here even tho it is not version specific (atleast I do not think it is :P) but here it goes:
I've got 3 AES systems which I am restoring to their former glory, two for a friend and one for myself, and I will be installing the Universe Bios on 2 of these machines (the native Jap stays with original bios).
One of the systems has a socketed bios as standard, it looks to be a very old revision mobo (NEO-AES if I am not mistaken) would I be simply able to remove the chip and drop in the Universe bios?
I was also planning on desoldering the original bios from my own euro unit, and stick a socket in, and drop in the bios also. I will be desoldering and socketing some of the other chips on it at the same time plus doing RGB mod etc, so it does not make for more work.
The reason why I am asking is that even the mods I have seen which use a socket still keep the old bios chip under it, and cut pins plus solder in a resistor...? Is this resistor needed to use the universe bios?
I know the MVS is a drop in for socketed boards but is the AES the same?
-I'm sure this is a fairly dumb question but I could not find the answer anywhere-
