OK, no H2 swapping. Does that mean I can use either standard or custom bios' by just swapping the EEPROM? Thanks.

Yes. Regardless of the CPU that you have in your CPS3 cart, just update the flash and you'll be good.

Regardless of the CPU that you have in your CPS3 cart, just update the flash ( with the corresponding one )and you'll be good.

Actually no, if your cart is original you MUST use the custom version of the bios and CD. If you have swapped the SH2 with a standard SH2 or are using a repro cart you must use the standard version.

What @Mitsu said

 

[nonosto]

can I use any cd rom drive with darsoft catridge and CD ROMM vallable here please? Can I transform any CPS3 catridge to Darksoft (for example cheap JOJO's cart). THx

 

[Mitsurugi-w]

You need a SCSI CD drive, not the more common IDE/PATA CD drive.

Any cart can be converted.

THX I just check price is very cheap and easy to find, cheapier than SCSI2SD for example:

it's seems SCSI2SD is not fastezr than CD DRIVE and more expansive....why use it?

 

[KinG_SoPa]

Works flawlessly

Thanks @Darksoft and @Mitsurugi-w and everyone else involved

1. it's more compact, which makes it easier to move your PCB out of your cab and into storage
2. it's more reliable, no moving parts means less prone to failure down the road. especially for those of us that move our PCBs around a lot.

 

[nonosto]

thx

 

[yosai]

The SCSI2SD is also silent which may be beneficial depending where you use your setup.

Hi,

Several years ago I have the cartridge modified by you, I had always used this CD "Beta" you recommend me to change to the latest version?

I have 3 years without using the cartridge, my first CPS3 board is damaged, buy another one in 2017, I have it working with the original 3rd Strike.

regards

 

[Mitsurugi-w]

Are you asking a question? I'm a bit confused.

 

[KalessinDB]

I think he's saying he's using an old "beta" CD and asking if you suggest he upgrade to the latest release.

@KalessinDB


Exactly that I want to know.


Sorry for my bad English

It's just a CD bro... Why wouldn't you burn the latest DS release/version?
Infact better yet get a SCSI2SD device and ditch the disc drive one and for all.

best thing you can do

 

[Mitsurugi-w]

Yes. The new version works better than the Beta. Specifically with Red Earth/Warzard.
