MAMEWorld Forums - Programming - Help transforming Mame PLD format into JEDEC

Hi everyone-

I'm working on repairing a CPS1 board with a bad pal. I have the mame dump of the pal I wish to recreate, a GAL16v8 for the target and the means to program it.

I grabbed Charles McDonald's Pal software from his blog, and followed the guide on his site completely. I analyzed the mame binary to created a PLD file, created a new file in WinCupl and pasted the contents of my analyzed binary into WinCupl.

I'm able to compile the device as a virtual device in order to get the minimalized set. I took the minimalized set and used it in place of the complete set (and adjusted the syntax). When I change the device from virtual to GAL16v8 and compile, I get 8 errors, one for each pin. The error says there are too many outputs per pin. I tried both of the recommended compiling modes with no luck.

Here is the guide I'm refering to, compliments of Charles McDonald:

Anyone know where I'm going wrong? I was reading on Charles's PAL feedback post just now. Do I need to manually reduce all of the instructions in order to fit on my chip?

Please help!
