This is a Greymarket 18-in-1 CPS2 multi, which was popular before the darksoft version This is based in a Asian region boardset. I obtained this in a trade as a project. The system does boot the menu and is able to load games (coin up game, then use start to select game, press and hold start to bring menu up again). However most titles give a "object ram NG" error. A couple of titles like D&D do boot up with glitches.
After some experimenting, I learned that If i allied some pressure in the upper left of the b board, it worked perfectly. I reflowed the chips & Headers in this region and it worked! So I put together a custom box (not fine woodworking) with a 80mm fan as the boards were de-cased.
After working for a while, the issue returned, so I replaced the Object ram as outlined in this thread:

However this did not help. Given I have no real use for this board, I think it needs to move on to someone who both needs it and can T/S it. Even if it doesn't work as a multi, technically you could burn some ROMs and Convert it to a stand alone game most likely. I just don't have the bandwidth for this project. I'm tagging in @ShootTheCore as someone who comes to mind.
I'm selling this as is with the case and fan, MMAO as it's a specialty item. Open to trades, other PCBs, Playchoice, MVS carts, SteamDeck, just throwing out some ideas. If no one wants this I might try converting it to Marvel vs streetfighter as I have the complete ROMs for that. Pics inbound.
