DARKSOFT CPS2 Champion Multi: Instructions and tips (new Version after 10.2020)

HEllo, Does Getting a CPS2 could make run roms from Mame and CPS 1 and 1.5 too ?
I have seen on a video a back slot card that get the Jamma wire and external video out all in one , does this things have a name to found one please
 
No, either you have a CPS1 + CPS1.5 multi or a CPS2 Multi. You don't have them all in one PCB as these are different systems.
Ok ! Does StreetFighter II CPS2 is an easy cartridge to be mod with Multi ? Does the Rom can be official or need some hacked one ? About changed RGB to HDMi converter did you know a good one please .

If you have the newest version of the multi kit (champion edition), a write cable (or the ability to solder as the instructions show), and connect it according to the instructions found here. You can use an encrypted rom.
 
Hey guys
Just got my kit, I have installed and get a yellow screen. I have an error with two sd cards saying no sd card inserted

Sandisk sd cards too, using the decrypted set is there a specific way to fix this
 
Heya @Rtl — You won’t get anything on screen if the multi hasn’t written a game yet. Could you check the 5v and 12v and push it to at least a flat 5v with the multi booted.

If that doesn’t work push it to 5.1v. Also could you try blowing / using compressed air into the SD card and try cleaning contacts on the card with Isopropyl and inserting and ejecting it a couple of times?
 
I got this brand new off you new sd card supplied, voltages are correct on 5v and 12v line. The lcd says no sd inserted I can’t even choose a game on the sd card
 
Make sure you partition to fat32 as a primary drive and not a logical drive, by default it's configured for logical.

If you use logical, the multi won't read it.

Once it's primary, load the games folder in the root directory as from the rollup pack and you should be right after that.

Yep I know. And I’m sorry it’s not working, just trying to help you with initial troubleshooting steps.
 
Ok I’ve pulled the roms from archive.org and running it without the keys installed
I’ll try formatting a new sd card with a fat32 program and try again.

So you confirm that it works now on games without keys?
 
Ok so formatted the sd card with gui format program and it now reads the games list and plays games.
But I cannot load another game once in a game it just sits on a graphics fault on the screen. If I reset my machine it boots automatically into the rom I chose before it froze. This isn’t normal right ?
 
That's definitely not right.

I've used the pack labelled Darksoft CPS2 2020-05-24.7z and you switch through games easily
 
I haven’t installed the key programmer yet, it shouldn’t make a difference right?
I am using the darksoft cps2 decrypted set
 
Yeah quite weird
I get this screen while loading a game

Then when the rom is fully loaded and says game loaded. It pauses to graphics pallets and doesn’t move from there, if I reset the machine it loads the game I just attempted to load
Annoying that every game change I have to reset the system.
Any ideas??

That happened to me before I installed the key write wire. I may be mistaken, but I believe one of the wires is a reset
