    CPS3 Issue [95682A-3] - Video Output Issue (Fuzzy Color Only) - Any help appreciated

    To close the loop on this one, @cruzlink2 spent a LOT of time on this board as you can see above and no dice. I suspect the corroded links were too far gone, or a bad PPU, maybe he will revisit the board one day, otherwise the board will have to be used for spare parts. The good news is...

    CPS3 Issue [95682A-3] - Video Output Issue (Fuzzy Color Only) - Any help appreciated

    Update - I have: - Removed all SIMMs, same display issue, tried with both Darksoft and SF3NG carts. This rules out the SIMMs being the root cause. - Tried without a cart (no video at all, expected) - Checked the PPU and CCU, the PPU gets quite warm but I wouldn't say it's 'hot' to the touch...

    CPS3 Issue [95682A-3] - Video Output Issue (Fuzzy Color Only) - Any help appreciated

    Okay so if i remove all the SIMMs, I should still see the CPS3 splash screen, that rules out SIMMs being the issue here then? I may still have bad SIMMs as well, but if I can't see the darksoft menu then i wouldn't be able to validate that. so i just want to get into that menu for now. it...

    SIMMs look fine as far as I can tell, traces all look good... i can post some pics tomorrow if you think it would be beneficial to share? and i will check the CCU heat too. Can it still boot with no SIMMs installed? I did try it but saw the same result on the screen.

    Thanks for the response. The PPU gets warm but I don't think its 'too hot', warm but wouldn't be able to fry an egg on it. I don't know what the CCU is, can you explain or point that out to me please? I will check the SRAM too if I can find that. I am using some third party SIMMs. The CPS3 came...

    CPS3 Issue [95682A-3] - Video Output Issue (Fuzzy Color Only) - Any help appreciated

    OK I hope it's just a setup issue... it's my first setup so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing. I've played with all the GBSC settings (tried them all) to see if I could make it behave any differently. It's all set correctly AFAIK but yep if someone would share some insight that would be very...

    CPS3 Issue [95682A-3] - Video Output Issue (Fuzzy Color Only) - Any help appreciated

    I've tried that with both the sf3NG and the official Darksoft cart - tried moving the bios cart itself in the slot (up/down a few mm's) but still the same issue :(

    CPS3 Issue [95682A-3] - Video Output Issue (Fuzzy Color Only) - Any help appreciated

    It seems weird that this issue is present regardless of the supergun kick harness being connected or not ?( EDIT: OK I'm not sure what the harness is for exactly? appears the scsi2sd LED still turns on even with the harness not connected. EDIT: Here is a quick video showing it...

    CPS3 Issue [95682A-3] - Video Output Issue (Fuzzy Color Only) - Any help appreciated

    Thanks for the response. "this setup does work with a different (non CPS3) arcade board plugged in, right?" - I have not tried, I don't have any other arcade boards. In saying that, it WAS working until I rebooted it a couple of times. It booted to the CPSIII splash screen and I could get into...

    Hi Arcade Projects Community I have become the proud owner of a CPS3, but I haven't been able to play because of a video output issue. I'm a bit out of my depth, would appreciate some help so I can get 3s working. When I power on the board, the image is skewed. Pictures below. When I first...

    FOUND [CLOSED] Looking to buy 2x CPS3 SIMMs: 1x 128MB and 1x 64MB

    Thanks, I actually bought 1 from this seller last night, I didn't see more were available. Looks like the listing has completed, I will reach out to them. EDIT: Confirmed with SheepNova that they are out of stock, so I am still looking for both a 128MB and 64MB.
