OK @Darksoft I've had my FULL kit for over a year in the box and I just finally got around to installing it. I know a lot has changed so here is what I wanted to clear up.

I just cut the battery off my MSHvsSF (93646B-7)
It has a BGSB3G PAL (but I ordered a GAL16V8B)
I have removed all the ROMs per the PDF
I installed both boards and connected via jumper board/IDE.
I have the 4 wire connector on CN9 but not soldered to the main DS board (firmware update?)
I connected the ribbon cable to the LCD.

1. Do I need to swap pal chips?
2. Do I need to put a jumper from pin 9 on Pal to J17?
3. Do I need to jumper out or remove any of those tiny jumpers on the B board?
4. I'm sure I need a firmware update since I see something about the Cn9 connector corrupting boot-loader if connected, and where do I get that firmware?

Thanks and super excited!!

You have an easy installation
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. If you bought it a year ago you're already on the latest firmware. Install your key writing wires and microsd card and you're good to go

Thanks @xodaraP

OK. That is my last question.

SD card new out of the package. Do I format for fat32? I assume I just download a roll up pack and go?

Yes sir . Just format as a FAT32 and you're good to go ! CPS2 Complete MAME Add-On Pack it's what you need for who fits in 16gb sd card. Cheers

Thanks for all the help. It worked like a champ other than the CLOCK pad just lifting off the board and breaking. I took a magnifier and slowly connected another wire just enough trace out from under the chip to get to. I had it to tie it all back to the blank header connector. If I'd paid more attention I would have used it to start with instead of that TP that close to the chip. Either way it's working

It's awesome!!

@Darksoft ^^^ maybe time to add CPS2 Multi Key Writing Quick Solder Board - Stop Killing Your Multi Kits as an option in the OP?

Good idea but some people that installed it have also lifted pads. There is no perfect solution currently though the quick solder PCB is super awesome.

Really? I haven't heard of any cases of this. I'm curious how it would even be possible to lift pads with my QSB.

what? doesn't everyone solder at 700*C?

Its here on the site. Lol. I'll try to find it. He tried to remove it after he installed it. Point is nothing is 100% foolproof.
