    To be pedantically technical, a 40°C drop from 80°C is about an 11% drop in temperature (313 vs 353 K). Still very impressive results, nice work!

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

    Yes, again I understand this. I have a NoCD chip for the cart. I was going to install the NoCD chip in the cart when I set this up 4 years ago. I mixed up the chips at the time, and had to leave my SCSI2SD plugged in. I had already assembled it all back in the Hursit case (beautiful but a pain...

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

    Makes sense. I posted the screen mine gets stuck at though (attached again for convenience), which is the reading CD ROM screen. There was one time yesterday that I was able to press 1P Start and get to the Darksoft menu. I think that's how I got it to start to load 3S, but it went black after...

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

    I haven't changed anything since putting the cab in storage. Until that point, it was running Ultra SIMMs just fine with Standard SH2, CD BIOS, and SCSI2SD connected. This previously had the older Darksoft Multi Kit installed (that was how it was when I purchased it). I'm thinking nem is right...

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

    hey, yup you were the one that helped me with the CD/NoCD BIOS. You flashed mine to a CD and gave me an extra as the NoCD chip so I could choose. I was going to use the NoCD one but mixed them up. It'll be some time before I can get around to swapping those chips, are you thinking the issue is...

    I have a NoCD chip, I had mixed them up when soldering it back then. I was planning to eventually swap it to the NoCD chip, but being inside the case and working just fine led me to not bothering. I guess I may as well do that now, though.

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

    TBH I'm not 100% sure, I took poor notes back then and can't remember how all of this worked. I have these photos, I want to say this means it's a Standard SH2 (repro) because it says SH-2 on it? And the OEM Capcom ones are (confusingly) called Custom and don't say SH-2, do I have that right or...

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

    Hi all, wondering if anyone can help me diagnose what's wrong with my Ultra SIMM setup. I had to store my games for about a year or two, but before that it was working perfectly. Now it just stops at the "Now reading the CD-ROM. Please wait..." screen. The buttons are also unresponsive at this...

    Hm, DEL didn't do it, but CTRL ALT F9 brought me here. I don't remember a password for this, but then it was a long time ago now that I last worked on this. Google isn't helping for some reason, either. Edit: Updating the drive to 5.0.1 seems to have worked. Thank you both for your help!

    Oh I did replace the battery with a fresh one, but I didn't get into BIOS, I'll try that as well tonight. Thanks!

    A Freeware Taito TypeX Multigame

    Hi @rtw! My TTX and Blast City were sitting in storage for the last year or 2. Before that it was set to autoboot TGM3 and was working without issue. I finally was able to get them hooked up again today but am having trouble getting it to boot properly. At first it was getting stuck on this BIOS...

    The GPU flasher worked great! Attached is the original BIOs from my graphics card. Also, just in case anyone in the future encounters the same issue I did and the previous TTX_MSDOS[GPU] program is delisted from wetransfer, here's a re-upload...

    Taito Type X powers on but black screen/no signal

    Now I just need to hope @rtw still has that GPU bios writer so that I can flash and save the graphics card as well!
