Hog 2 Faulting while Booting

I randomly came across this thread this afternoon while looking for solutions to my current Hog II issue... I was amused to see that I was the one who started this thread several years ago... Anyways:

Same console that was having issues in 2009, however this time it's appears to be having problems with the memory system. Upon boot, the screens display "Program Memory Corrupt - You Must Load New Software Now". As I attempt to load new software, the console will get about a minute into the process and then announce: "Program Corrupt - Load Program Failed".

I've tried replacing the floppy drive, using different floppy disks, reseating socketed memory, swapping the socketed memory around and trying older versions of software.

My next thought would be to try and find replacement socketed memory and swap it out... my question is whether or not this would have any impact on the console booting... it looks like there's other flash memory soldered on to the board which would be more challenging to replace, probably above my skill level. Does anyone know in which bank of memory the console software resides?

Thanks for any tips!
