I was just troubleshooting a Columns stuck ON p1b1/p2b1 issue. Two Diode Arrays had a small hole in them and tested bad. P1 & P2 Button 3 were both reading dead short (even with all diodes and resistors removed). Interestingly enough, Button 1 didn't read shorted on input side but was being...

So after shifting boards up you were able to get all 4 sounds? If the problem did not travel doesn't that mean the problem went away? :) confused

sorry for miscommunication. I had/have older (pre2020 kit) with newer > 11/2017 firmware. Bottom line is I didn't update firmware and didn't need to either. :) Will do!

good to know. Also good to know but I did surmise I had the old pre 2020 version. What I did not know was if I had the latest (key write capabile) firmware for the "old" version of the kit. Would it have hurt to "reload" same firmware? I am not quite following here but will do some more...

After buying this kit from highscoresave.com several years ago, I finally got around to installing it last night. I figured I would share my experience/process as I have not been following the project, don't know jack about CPS2 hardware, and spent quite a bit of time reading here, watching...

This is a Widel version I grabbed from somewhere. It has the test tape code. You have to concatenate low & high to 1MB file for 27c080. It does support a lot less games.

Hold down p1+p2 then hit coin switch to reset. Regarding the memory test. It looks like the first Hex digits likely represent 16bit address bus and the binary is data bits returned. On my error it seems the same address is responding with a stuck data bit ? On yours maybe it was more of an...

Senil, Juergen Buchmueller, who hails an is maybe from Bonn, probably wrote most of the mame deco driver stuff. Not sure the best way to reach out to him but seems like he would have the best info.

I finally went through and tried to load every game. Latest code on -3 fat board set BURGER TIME-JP = loads and plays burnin-rubber every time. DS TELEJAN-JP = This must be a cocktail 2 player only game. NIGHT STAR-US SET 1 = Won't load, resets to game menu TREASURE ISLAND-US SET 1 = loads but...

I am running the latest version of Darksoft's code on my -3 and it appears to be working fine. You can get the "final" code on the first post here https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/get-your-deco-multigame-here.4149/ I don't think anyone reported problems with the -8

Colors are fine. My monitor cable is a bit flaky. One thing that is slightly different is, which is a bit weird as I have no idea what in the game code would cause this, is when running the original LockNChase code from cassette, or could be the bios code, my monitor focus is adjusted at a...

I am curious about the bprom differences between Old -3 and Newer -8 now though. My whites are a bit more yellow but admittedly, I haven't tested nor adjust monitor fully yet :)

Success! I knew there were a couple 4118s with questionable legs and after reinspection, one of them fell off. I soldered on a couple new legs and replaced, same error. I then swapped the two questionable ones with the two working ones and got past the bio board ram error. Put the Darksoft...

Interesting. I guess the Widel code in post 1 is newer but doesn't include the test tape rom. looks like I have some bad memory on bio board. No idea which chip D450 would refer to though.

@Darksoft the widel decomulti file you have in post1 doesn't match what is in mame. I installed it and it doesn't have the test tape on it. Then I checked the bios roms and the hashes are different. Anyway, it seems the code in post 1 works fine for me. To eliminate any dip switch settings...
