Menu has nothing to do with glitches. Go back to previous firmware now until we are able to fix it.

Hi Saliams sorry to hear you can not run the darksoft cartridge despite new cap and PSU .
What is the voltage on the PSU on the barrel ? You have on original PSU 5.45v and in my case this was to low to avoid glitches and mesure 5v after the regulator .I used a PSU were you can set the voltage to 5.6v and it solved the glitches issue for me.

Dear @Royalsystemcrt man so happy to hear about you (j'espère que tu vas bien poto :) ) so yeah i still can not run my cartridge and i still got this horrible "blue screen" it's like there is no cartridge on my console.

Anyway, i did change my PSU as you know and this is the reference https://fr.retrogamesupply.com/products/power-supply-for-snk-neo-geo-aes (the PRO POW3 version) in the description it said

Description​

Alimentation pour Neo Geo AES


Pro-Pow, Pro-Pow-UL, Pro-Pow-PAL and Pro-Pow2
Pro-Pow-E and Pro-Pow3
Choisissez le bon modèle en regardant en-dessous de la console.

  • Alimentation parfaitement conçue pour remplacer les alimentations d'origine.
  • Prolonge la durée de vie de votre console grâce à la fourniture d'une tension stabilisée.
  • Émission de chaleur de la console réduite.
  • Plus besoin de transformateur 110V pour vos consoles JAP ou US
110/250V 50/60Hz

Pro-Pow-E and Pro-Pow3 :

Alimentation d'origine : 9 -> 11V (Non-régulée => env. ±3V) 1A max
Ce modèle : 9V (Régulée) 1.25A max

So if by any chance you can have a last solution before i send it to Darksoft Team i will happy :) merci encore pour ton aide et je profite pour te souhaiter une bonne et heureuse année 2022 ;)
 
Be careful with the voltage, the important value is the one measured in the chip. If you go too high things won't work properly and if you go too high, you may fry something.

Yeah thanks i'm very careful when it's about my Neo Geo so i want make a thing i'm not familiar with i just asked @Royalsystemcrt if he got something else , maybe my PSU is not enough good/powerful ? what do you think ?
 
The ones from retrogamesupply work perfect for me and all the people I recommended one.
 
I can only talk about the 5v PSU PRO-POW .
It looks you purchased the darksoft recommend one . I tried a few switching PSU and a lot were very poor quality and generating noise and I had glitches and other issues that you do not see with original games. Is your power supply old and new 9v one ? Here a guide

Its been a while since I last updated my multicart, but the latest menu update didn't work. I copied the menu files into the update folder and didn't seem to recognize Xeno Crisis. Do I need to delete the BUFF file, or create another folder called "menu" in the update folder?

I've been having some issues with my AES cart lately, it started having trouble trying to flash games and now it just boots to a white screen. I've attempted to update the firmware and menu, but nothing seems to work. My AES still boots just fine with regular carts and I'm using the PRO-POW-UL PSU which still puts out a nice steady 5V. My AES also has a Unibios 4.0 install.
 
Just tried a 32 GB Micro Center card, no dice. The previous card was a 16 GB SanDisk which was bundled with the cart.
 
Still having problems, not sure what happened but I'd like to get this repaired if possible.
