I had no issues using the verified set from the official thread here. I did nothing but load everything onto the SD. Maybe try a rewrite.Any suggestion, thanks

@Darksoft Ok I understand now after a couple of quick browsings around what a suicided B board is. So question 2 is not really a question anymore for me. I believe though my question #1 is still the most important one for me : can the latest darksoft cps2 multi (version 2) work with a NON suicided b board ie with a working battery? ... i really thought I saw on a thread around here someone saying that we can leave the battery and use a properly working non suicided B board with the latest kit, despite what's written in the official installation guide PDF v1.3.Hello there. I just received my Darksoft CPS2 Champion Edition card (so the latest version 2 if this multi card) and I just went thru the installation guide (v1.3) and have a couple of questions since I can see quite few contradicting recommendations on AP forums and what's written in the actual installation guide: 1) do we have to have a suicided B Board? 2) is a suicided B Board just a board without a battery? 3) where can I find the roll up zip file, the link in the installation guide is dead. 4) what size for the SD card to store all games directly with all regions - so I just load everything and I dont have to worry ever about the CPS2 system.
Thanks Mate. thats what I thought principle wise that I needed to remove the battery since this is how the key gets saved and since the multi needs to reload one every time you start the board, that makes sense... I was just making sure to confirm before removing the battery... because I did not want to suicide my b board which actually works right now.@Gnaffron you have to disconnect the battery, it’s keeping the encryption key loaded for the original game. The multi loads a new key every time it boots. Most people just remove it.
You should not use a suicided board because — how do you know if it actually works? If you buy a “suicided” board nowadays you’re probably being lied to. It takes $5 to resurrect a board. No such thing as a suicided cps2 anymore. https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/openkeys-neogeo-diag-prog-boards.24392/
Use a fully tested and working board. Remove the battery. Install the kit. Enjoy!

No such thing as suiciding anymore. For $5 you can restore the keys with an openkey (and never have to deal with a potentially leaky battery)
Settings etc are stored in an eeprom. The battery is only to keep the security keys loadedI was just wondering as well. Does the battery have another purpose beside the saving the key. like saving the number times you played or inserted coings etc... or recording you scores?
Thanks! I'll order that then.They are optional, upu can see in the english version the translation.
You Need Multi cps2 and a Memory card, nothing else. The others are optionals
