UPDATED BY DARKSOFT ON 5th June 2023
New Firmware release! Yes! We still keep adding support for old multis like this one.
This update fixes the problem with not original or slow microSD and also the problem with MicroSD written in a Mac.
You can download it here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/0h334vtwh8fnjko/CPS2_Original_Version_Long_Pins.7z/file
IMPORTANT! This firmware is only to be used with the old version with long pins. DO NOT USE with Champion Edition!!
You can get the download instructions v3.2 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/obv4fflp48fmq2m/Instructions_CPS2_Multi_Boot_v3.2.pdf/file
One of the features of this Multigame is the possitbilty of updating the firmware automatically, what we call....AUTOUPDATE! also called BOOTLOADER. This will allow you to upgrade the firmware by just copying a file in the microSD and without needing any device or complicated procedures.
You just need to copy a file called flash.img into the microSD and power it on, it will update a specific part of the microprocessor memory and will work now with all improved capabilities.
Make sure you also watch the video from Mitsu about how to prepare the B board before doing anything.
You can find a Roll-Up Pack with all available games from Smokemonster here: CPS2 Roll-Up Packs: All roms for the CPS2 kit
