No, not game roms. If you're trying to do some kind of code debug, it helps to have the mnemonics rom pack for the processor the game uses. So, if you want to look at what code is being executed on an Asteroids board, you'd need a 6502 mnemonics rom pack. It's basically a plastic cartridge similar to an Atari 800. Unfortunately they're pretty hard to come by. I found a 68000 rom pack on ebay and I believe I can pull the roms out and put burn some 6502 menmonics roms if I need to. I haven't used my logic analyzer yet, mainly because it's used more useful in troubleshooting code than troubleshotting hardware. I just prefer to use my o-scope and signature analyzer. Maybe someone with more knowledge and experience here can add something about logic analyzers. Matt

I think most gamers have been getting the Tektronix 1241 model. Probably because they're not that expensive and if you ask
around it's not that difficult to get the roms for the mnemonics rom packs. I believe you just need to find any rom pack and
just swap the desired (6502, z80, etc) 27128 roms into them. It's also easy to find the manuals for this model. I have another
training manual that I need to scan in and put online.

Hello guys !
I'm wondering to buy one Logic Analyzer... but I'd never use one before, and I don't know somebody that can help me on choose one or even to tell me how to turn it on ;) - but I have one idea about it's functionality.
I have some experience on Scope - I learned by my self how to operate one...
My question is... what I have to see or check before buy one ? Do you guys have some model to recommend ? I've check on Ebay, and they have dozens of them, with starting price as low as $ 100.
I'm planning to use it on help me to fix my arcade boards... Is it useful for that ?
Thank you very much, and my apologize for too many questions...
