DARKSOFT New CPSIII Ultra Simms! 8 times the size of a regular SIMM

I am wondering wether the multi s simms are not oxidized. I didn’t try anything on it
 
Might be worthwhile trying to re-write all the simms again?

Assuming you're writing the correct SIMM1 and SIMM2 to match your SH2 chip (standard or custom?) I think you are as I don't believe the game would start if it was the incorrect file.

I don't imagine you have a different base CPS3 you can use to confirm it's not isolated to that particular mobo and simm combo?

I personally can't think of anything else.
 
received mine today :D

Not much time this evening but couldn't leave it in the box and had to have a quick go at setting it up.

programmed the simms as per the guide, using standard sh2 no cd bios.

all games working and looking forward to the weekend now to get a proper go at it.

Thank you Darksoft!
 
All the games
Hi raffy. Where did you download the simm data? Try this pack: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/cps-iii-roll-up-packs-all-roms-for-the-cps3-kit.17564/

Check your cart if it has a custom or standard SH2 and write the appropriate files for simm 1 and 2 (U9 + U10)

update the firmware on your proman to HS063_Beta_D.enc:

use v63 programmer software and click the "smart key" button to erase, write and verify the files.
Check the log and status window after each one:

After each one unplug the proman usb cable, close the programmer software, plug in the proman USB again and open the programmer software (right click - run as administrator)


Then assuming you have standard SH2 cart, set dips to 000 - this will boot hacked version of Street Fighter 3rd strike with a green title screen without any encryption. If that works try the other games.

Yes that s what I planned to do.
I have the Darksoft cartridge repro containing the ultra bios so I used the standard type

The game was a Jojo bizarre adventure no cd version. I bought it at tops game.

Because my proman could recognize the simms with the HS062, I didn’t update the soft to HS063, and completed the programmation with HS062. Maybe I should try the HS063, thanks for the advice

I did every things you mentioned. It was clearly and well explained to the manual. The only thing is maybe the soft version v63. I used the v62.

Thanks
 
hi, I tried the v63 and nothing better

As you told me once, when I was struggling with the multi AES and then MVS : « those Neo geo stuff does like you « (maybe the CPS3 too). Now I have 5 of your multis that works flawlessly
