Bought a Darksoft Multi+Jp motherboard yesterday, along with a (sadly busted, broken pins) CPS2 multi. After tye annoyance of finding broken pins on the CPS2, I also have had no luck getting the F3 to work.
I have tried in 3 Blasts and a NAC. The LCD keeps saying "No SD Card!", but then it will work. Sometimes I have to take it out and put it back in. It loads a game, the PROG light is lit, but the screen shows only a rapidly scrolling picture of red and black on the Blast and white on the NAC. No mater what I do, it will not work.
Could this be caused by plastic remaining between the pins causing not enough contact? The plastic is worn right down on the mother to make it region free, but I did not do it myself. This and the CPS2 were brand new, not used. I did notice so breakage of the plastic around a couple of holes on the Darksoft connector side, and found some bent pins where the plaatic tabs had been worn down. Fixed those but same result.
I keep reading about power issues with the F3 on 5v, could this be factor? I should have taken some photos before I put the damn thing away. Between the CPS2 last night and F3 tonight, I was really over it so packed it all away.
