This is a regular simm version.Your cart has standard SH2, right? Does this happen also if you use regular SIMMS?

The differences between the two are explained in the guide. You can open your cart up with two screws to check against the photos.Since its been ages I set my cps3 multi, I am totally lost.
My first question would be what is the differences btw STANDARD SH2 and custom SH2?
I don't even remember which one I used to make my multi before.
All I remember is that I am using scsi2sd instead of actual cdrom drive and I bought a cart from Darksoft back then.
My second question is where can I find instruction to update Bios?
Since there is a new version of Bios which fixed speed of menu, I need to update this.
Thank you.
Thank you for your explanation. But where can I find info about how to update Bios? I tried to find a guide with no success.The differences between the two are explained in the guide. You can open your cart up with two screws to check against the photos.
There's an updated BIOS posted on the forum too if you want to upgrade. For both Standard and Custom.
Grab the file for the BIOS you want: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/cps-iii-bios-and-cd-releases.36/Thank you for your explanation. But where can I find info about how to update Bios? I tried to find a guide with no success.
Thank you very much!Grab the file for the BIOS you want: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/cps-iii-bios-and-cd-releases.36/
Desolder the 29f400 chip from your cart and burn the file. After verifying, solder it back on the cart and play!
Also, there’s lots of good info in the thread with the BIOS, just give it a read.
I could not reproduce this using the ultrasimms in standard mode.
Every time.@TMF68k Does it freeze every time?
Thank you. I thought my cart needed custom SH-2. Its good that I asked before the update.Use the BIOS for Standard SH-2.
NoCD version if you’re using UltraSIMMs with no SCSI device.
Is there a good technique for removing solder off of SMD chip pins after removal? that always seems like the longest most annoying step in the process when I salvage or reflash chips.you probably have a short still between two pins on the chip
Did you erase it first? If so you probably have a short still between two pins on the chip or your adapter isn't making good contact with all pins on the chip.

I don't have the skillset to desolder the chip on the repro super bios cart - but, I wouldn't mind attempting to use the programmer for the kit as it looks like no soldering is required.This is the seller I bought mine from: https://a.aliexpress.com/_msRq681
Item is fine, my only gripe was that I paid for express delivery and they put it on a boat. AliExpress were useless in helping out.
I am a newb - but I have been using desolder braid to get excess off.
