Download PICkitminus by jaka-fi, an “enhanced” version of the original Microchip PICkit2 software which supports more devices than the original.
Download the SuperCIC hex code from Project SN2SNES, extract the file supercic-key_p12f629.hex from the archive and save it for later.
If you have the socket adapter for the PIC chip, set it up as follows:
- Bridge Jumper 1 pins labelled "2" (middle group)
- Bridge Jumpers 2-7 to set the all to the "2-3" setting.
- Ensure the PIC12F629 chip is seated correctly. Align the chip's notch with the line on the PCB labelled "8/14/16/20" for DIP chips.
