ROM Part Numbers
Overview
ROMs used by Sega have a unique part number that corresponds to the program (including revisions). The first part is a 3-letter identifier:
- MPR - Mask ROM. This ROM is mass-produced at a factory.
- OPR - One time programmable (OTP) ROM. This ROM can be programmed individually or in bulk.
- EPR - EPROM. This ROM can be programmed individually or in bulk and erased for re-use.
The next part is the number itself, ranging from 4 digits (Sega's earliest arcade games) and up.
The number is usually silkscreened onto the ROM package or printed on a label that is affixed to the ROM.
ROM types
A lot of Sega's ROM chips produced by Fujitsu are in a particular form, with a line along the long edge of the body and a large circular depression in the middle. These have a number which describes the ROM type:
| Number | Package | Notes |
| 831000 | 28-pin PDIP | 128Kx8, no mapper |
| 831001 | 28-pin PDIP | 128Kx8 |
| 832011 | 32-pin PDIP | 256Kx8, SRAM support |
| 834000 | 32-pin PDIP | 512Kx8, no mapper |
| 834011 | 512Kx8 | |
| 834200 | ?Kx16 (?) | |
| 838200 | ?Kx16 (?) |
Sometimes the part number has an A suffix, though its meaning is not understood. Following the part number is a speed designation value, typically '-025' for 250ns.
