As far as the faulty A board goes, the amp might be overheating or burning out-try replacing it.

It's very weird that I play the same game on the lydz multi (daimakaimura Japan resale) and it has no trouble on my problem A board.

I have a several parts boards. I think the amp is still good on 2 of them. When I feel like desoldering, I'll move one of them over and see if it helps.

Just switched the A board and it appears that's what the problem was. It's the same A board type, just a spare I had. Not sure how I missed the previous post about switching A boards, I've been keeping up with very thing posted. Thanks for the help, and for the record, my sf2 koryu isn't working either, neither is mega man. Thanks again guys.

I'm glad it was resolved with the same fix that I used.

I hope your multi setup is working well now, and you can start enjoying it.

It's a lot of fun.
 
Hi All,

I got my CPS1 Multi last Friday and tested USA and Japanese games in short time. It's an incredible multi. Thanks to Darksoft and all contributors. Also thanks to ShootTheCore to his setup video, it's very helpful.

So far all games worked fine except games below. My setup are unmodified C board 92641C-1 (it had battery but I removed it) and A board 89626A-4:
- The King of Dragons (USA)
Got stuck during erasing
- The King of Dragons (Japanese)
I can coined up but I can't start the game. It reduced the coin when I pressed start button.
- SF2 Koryu
Booted with garbage screen
- Merc (USA)
Not booting up. Japanese version booted fine.
- Quiz & Dragons (Japanese version), Ganbare! Marine Kun, Quiz Tonosama no Yabō 2: Zenkoku-ban
I felt the controls were behaving weird. I'll test again to confirm.
 
The got stock during erasing problem can happen if your microSD is not fast enough. It happened to me once when I tried to write one game right after another, but happened only once.

The issue with the coins is known and happens in the original as well. You need a 10Mhz A Board or that's what will happen. Once you've started the game, you can add players or more coins and continue and the game will work as usual.
 
Good to know about this microSD issue. During testing I didn't write one game right after another and I had no problem writing most of the games. I guess it can happen occasionally.

I see. It's good that Derrick is working on his Dual Crystal pcb to solve this issue.
 
I think I got some sound glitching on the first boss of final fight usa (sodom?) where I was hearing voices from a bunch of characters including a girl character? Not 100% sure, no capture, but maybe worth a mention
 
Found another SF2HF sound bug during my last stream, this time during Ryu’s Fireball playing Honda’s Sumo Headbutt sound.

@opt2not

I saw this on the lydz multi and it was my A board.

While playing sf2, random incorrect samples would play when executing special moves.

It also sounded like some instruments might have been incorrect/missing from some of the music.

I haven't tried that A board with the DarkSoft because I believe it has issues.

This happened to me just now on Final Fight USA Rev 1 but it happened during the subway scene. I had a bunch of random voices play in the background (including St 1 boss) during a section after clearing out enemies and I waited before scrolling forward to the next group of enemies.

I don't think it's a hardware issue. I have been playing Cadillacs and Dinosaurs pretty extensively over the past few days without any issues.
 
Greetings! Running into some issues

C-Board: 92641C-1 with the B21 chip, no battery, no mod
A-Board: 89626A-4 with 12hz crystal, all dip switches turned off
SD Card: 64gb SDHC PNY

I soldered the wires, installed the mult, loaded a game and then nothing. I see a black screen. Sometimes when I load up a mono audio game, I might hear something play out, but that's it, not even the actual start up sound, just some random audio.

Not sure what im doing wrong here =(

PAL chip replaced on A board.

Did you test the A&C boards to work before installing the multi?

SD card formated correctly? on Windows or Mac?
