Just look back on the previous page(s).
This has been addressed many times at this point.

It wasn't clear in earlier discussion but then I found this post, must have missed it initially:

Received the cart and have tried it out briefly. Amazing work! This is a truly amazing cart. I have the unibios v4, with the reset-to-menu patch, and it works perfectly. Many thanks for taking the time to build these.

I'm not familiar with this v4 patch. Is there a link available with more detail?

It was pretty clear.

As an update:

I'm *STILL* waiting on sockets to arrive, but whenever they get here I'll be knocking out the list. All the daughterboards are built and programmed, most of the carts already have P roms and S/M roms programmed and installed, I'm just waiting on sockets and should be knocking out 7 or 8 in one day.

I'll get caught up with PMs with folks over the weekend.

I know a few of you guys had the STILT carts that just have the two C roms and no room for a third, and I'll be taking a look into those in a few weeks here. @Pinballjim came up with a nice game list that fits basically everything except the KoF series and a few other things that should fit on there. If so I'll be offering BYOC services on those as well for $25 less (one chip fewer to buy, program, and solder, otherwise it's the same amount of work).

This one is pre-patched here:

Since unibios is free now, I don't see any harm in sharing the pre-patched version.

I don't know about the cheat system, I didn't even have a unibios at all in anything myself until a few weeks back.

Awesome - thank you for that! Any chance I can get one created? I don't have the equipment to do it for myself quite yet. If that's not an option no worries as I imagine there are others who could do it as a service.

Unfortunately I ordered ten eproms a bit ago, and only 6 turned out to be good. If enough people want them, I'm happy to buy another batch and just charge cost/shipping. But it's probably quicker to buy from anyone who regularly sells burned eproms. I think it's hyperneogeo over on KLOV that does? Hobbyroms.com is legit as well.

For shipping + $5 I will make one for you.

I did it for someone else already. They are happy.

Did you order from amazon?

I just opened a 5 pack I ordered from amazon a while back and 3 of the 5 were bad.

I used to get maybe 1 out of 20 bad from amazon.

I found 10 more in my closet so I guess I'm good.

Shoot the CSV list to me? The rom list I believe is in the first post (I think). Should only take a few minutes to do.


Another thing on my to-do list is install that, ha.


How cool! I'm definitely going to order one of these. I wonder who will do AES ones.


I am almost fully caught up again. Worked on the 6 paid for in parallel and now I'm just working through testing them for a while and touching up as needed. Should have them all out by weekend I'd imagine, and then we're back to another batch of payments and start all over!

Hey @rewrite
Was there a new unibios patch based on the CSV gamelist you use for your 161 multicart mods?

This is the csv file thats used with the current patch

Sorry for arriving late. Is there a site where the fixed decrypted roms can be downloaded? I know that original 161 in 1 had bugs with many protected roms, so I ask that

Later in the discussion we find out that there's FAR more to it than replacing the CSV. I've sent it and the game addresses along to a few people who asked, but no one has gotten it done yet.

This should do you for 99% of them. Garou's been gone over a bunch of different ways in another thread on here I can't seem to find at this moment.

For anyone still waiting on their paid cart:
I've decided my last socket order must be lost in the mail, so I made another order with a different vendor. Literally all that is left is putting the daughterboards in the sockets and leaving them to test a few hours each.
 
Hello Ryan, having a go at updating my board, not sure where to find the bin directory, although now I have downloaded the opencd 12 on my windows pc and the svf file.

I am here so far, unzipped the opencd 12.

Thanks

Download that file.

Download openocd https://openocd.org/

Put that file into the bin directory

Attach your 5 wires to
AD0, AD1, AD2, AD3, +3.3V and GND on the FT2322H

Attach them to the JTAG header next to CP1 CPLD on the PROG board.

Navigate to the correct folder in command prompt (the bin folder inside openocd's folder).

openocd -f C:/openocd/share/openocd/scripts/interface/ftdi/um232h.cfg -c "adapter speed 400" -c "transport select jtag" -c init -c "svf prog_cp1.svf" -c shutdown

That will work 1:1 if you put openocd's folder at the root of C:\ . If you put it elsewhere you'll have to change the directory to match.

It takes about 7 seconds. I've been using pogo pins and just holding them there.

Got a bit further, but not sure about the next step.. how do I navigate in command prompt?

‘Navigate to the correct folder in command prompt (the bin folder inside openocd's folder).’

cd c:/(whatever the directory is)

So if you put it in C:/Openocd/bin then you would type:

cd c:/openocd/bin/
