How do you use that puller? Do you just insert it in the slots ,upper right and lower left pf the chip?
As dvandentop stated, use a small jeweler's screwdriver. Go back and forth, pry a little at at time at the slotted corners. I don't know how many legs I messed up on chips and EPROMs with those stupid pullers before I wised up and quit using them. Never again. I've never messed up any using small screwdrivers and working the chip out slowly from each end.

werd usually those dumb pullers slip and then then you are effed! with bent pins and all
The tool is called a PLCC extractor.
That particular chip is no longer made - has not been made since the late 90s. I would be very careful when changing them. I wouldn't use a screwdriver to pull them!
Quoted from doublezo1:Johnwartjr, I plan on using the old board in another game after having it repaired. What are my options on getting another chip if they are not made anymore? Thanks.
Here's one:
