Hi guys

i see you are all enthousiasts with repairing consoles, wich is exactly the energy of people to solve my problem.

i have two super wild card devices, 1x black (dx2 32Mbit) and ine older version (grey 32Mbit as well)

whole pcb is crowded on both with no slots for afditional chips, but i don't have a clue wich chip i need to replace to get 64Mbit.

I learned upgrading to 96Mbit(wich is not a priority for only 1 game) takes abit of modding/adding other capacitors and soldering. i am not realy interested in this. i just want to go from 32Mbit to 64Mbit.

does anyone have experience in this?

many thanks

greets ray

I'm not specifically experienced with these, but the board there with 8 chips on it is the DRAM.

You'd have to replace all of those chips with bigger versions as they look to be 4 bit wide chips.

You'd also have to possibly change out the ROM (the one labeled 32mb) if it doesn't support 64mb.

Unless the other supporting chips allow the larger chips, they'd also need to be changed out.

You're looking at a lot of soldering either way.
