DARKSOFT New Namco System 1 Multi Instructions

Got my chips from @Derick2k and installed them.

So far this is what i've tested....

Same issues as others are experiencing here.
Lots of games will start flipped. Most of them I can flip dip 1 and rotate quickly.
Faceoff starts upsidedown and won't let me change things in the test menu.
Beraboh Man is upside down and won't let me change things in text menu.

White sprite issues with Yokai Douchuuki

Splatterhouse sound samples are mixed up.
Dragon Spirit sound samples are mixed up.
Shadowland has mixed up sound samples.
Blazer has mixed up sound samples.
Dangerous Seed has mixed samples.
The music that is in all games is spot on. Samples seem to all be mixed up.

Jumpers are A, C, and F
Galaga88 donor.
I've made attempts to reseat the multi board, and eproms with the same exact result.

Very good info. Thanks.

I'll have a look at this asap.
 
I have to appreciate and give credit to Darksoft team! it's the awesome multi. After i followed the instruction to set up the multi board, i found the followings issues:
Condition:

1. Dragon Spirit (DS3) donor.
2. Jumpers - A, C, and F
3. FlashcatUSB X port 2.0 - 6 modules (all verified to the roll-up pack)

111110 Beraboh Man (Japan, Rev C) – hold screen at the beginning, can't run the game
111101 Beraboh Man (Japan, Rev B) – hold screen at the beginning, can't run the game
110100 Face Off (Japan 2 Players) – can’t flip the screen (can't change the test in the configuration)
100101 Shadowland (YD3) – Black screen
011001 Yokai Douchuuki (Japan, YD1) – Black screen
011000 Yokai Douchuuki (Japan, YD2) – Black screen

All of the other games are working perfectly. Can darksoft or someone tell me what or how to do?
Many thanks.

As KRG hold me:

So out of the gate, anybody get this multi to work on a Galaga 88 donor using all instructions and information provided?
I've followed all instructions and nothing seems to make sense.
I've double checked all my work, and I'm curious if this needs some tweaking.
Inquiring minds would like to know.

Yes, I used a Galaga '88 as a donor. It works fine.
 
Also using galaga 88 here. Works fine except for what seem to be common errors (some voice samples, some sprites) that imo are probably just rompack merging errors, not hardware errors.
 
Mine is "working" with all of the above issues.

I think you are on to something @ekorz
Is there a fix for this merge?
I had @Derick2k burn my chips.
Perhaps I need to ship them back to his ass to solve this.
Also, can the chips be re-written or am I fucked to find new modules?

Yes, the modules can be rewritten no problem. There is no updated rom images to fix the reported bugs (yet).
 
I have a 2nd motherboard from a different game to test on, so will report back once I do, caps just came in also, so will be recapping them this weekend when I get a moment.
 
Ok, sorry for being the dude driving the answers.
This is all good information to know for those that invested in this project.
Clearly there's a process fix that needs to be sorted.
It looks like I'll be either buying a new Eprom writer or shipping them back to get this "Fix"
Thanks dudes.

Let me know if I can provide any other input.
Cheers.

So, you have none of the voice sample issues that most other people seem to have ?

I assume my setup has the same sound issues. I don't know the games intimately enough to recognize the sound errors.
