Hi
 I've seen this done for pinball machines. There are some
potential issues other than just mapping the ROM. Some of
the internal selects are also mask programmed ( usually different
than the 6530 ). As I recall, one can even invert the data
going to the port( a real pain to handle ). I think there
is a document on the web someplace on making this patch.
 Ahh, here it is. Look at:
