Looks amazing. It's funny how a 4:3 monitor always looks like 16:9 when installed portrait.

My Darksoft CPS2 sometimes gives a brown screen on boot, it's always the A & B boards not connected correctly. Try removing and reseating a few times, pushing down etc.

Yep the player 2 kick buttons all work fine too, so I'll probably just leave it for now.

Interesting, player 1 all works fine but I’ll check P2 now, thanks

Thanks, that's a good suggestion. I'm still curious to understand how it works with a broken leg though if anyone knows! I have noticed some CPS1 C boards don't even seem to have this chip fitted in the socket.

Well that was almost a disaster, ever wish you hadn't started something?! The foam was a real pain to get off, it was stuck really hard, and alarmingly especially on the custom chip pins, I had to use a lot of IPA to get all the sticky black stuff off. When cleaned up, I could see that there...

While I'm not going to disagree with the HAS suggestions above, I can also personally recommend the CBOX 4.0. Yes, it's made in China (what isn't these days?) but the quality is reasonable, you can control the voltage, it has USB and DB15 input, but in my opinion the best thing about it is the...

The foam is much stiffer and more firmly attached than I was expecting, any tips for getting it off? Pulling it is bending the PCB.

So while it is now working correctly, the curious side of me still wants to know why it was glitching, and I might have been barking up the wrong tree with the A and B boards, after finding this thread it looks like the C board can cause similar glitches too...

I seem to have accidentally fixed my CPS1 setup, as you may have seen in my other help thread I was getting graphics glitches on certain stages, but after removing all the EPROMs and reseating the three boards for about the tenth time, it finally seems happy and is now working correctly! It must...

I tried talking to the seller before buying, they don’t speak any English, I just get nonsensical chat gpt replies. I have raised a return request with the above videos and images, but no response yet and figured it’s worth asking here in case it’s a simple fix I can do myself.

I also had no idea and just thought I was terrible at it :D Before I pay to join his Patreon, is there an unencrypted Darksoft version?

Yeah I hear what you're saying, I wouldn't knowingly buy a rip off of somebody else's work (eg Krikzz Everdrives, I've got original ones.) Darksoft Multi is great but I can't spend that kind of money on it as only want a few games. That's why this 4 in 1 would have been perfect.

I could but I use this TV for many other consoles which all work fine as-is. Also my other CPS1 B board works fine so I don't think it's a problem with the TV settings. I was wondering if anyone knows for example which pins on the B board are responsible for sync, I found a couple that were...

Here's a video. So let's just say this was a regular CPS1 B board and not an Ali Special, what could cause video rolling and/or sound issues if the A and C boards are known to be working?
