Just a heads up but there's also Yoybuy which I used to purchase some arcade boards off Taobao without much issue.

Would have loved to see SF2 Rainbow and Koryu somewhere on the list. I have the "original" koryu and rainbow anyways, but then I could have stored them for my grandkids. lydz laoshi.

This really did come out of nowhere.

I also had this same thing happen after attempting to buy. I canceled the order and am waiting on a refund. Something just seems off about the process. Really would be helpful if the OP could just allow us some direct communication for orders.
Thinking it’s best to wait for Darksoft and crew to create one of there own. I would much rather have freedom of picking my roms anyway.
We will release our kit either way. This kit has the advantage of no loading times, but ours has the advantage of complete freedom to load whatever you want.

Also, this kit directly interfaces 3.3V ROMs with the CPS1's busses.

As often with chinese xxx in 1 boards to cut costs.
It shouldn't be too long loading CPS1 games.
Also maybe you could implement a fast boot option: once program ROMs are written you allow the game to boot even if graphics ROMs aren't ready yet.
It should result in missing graphics for few seconds during the RAM/ROM test so not a biggie. Then once graphic chips loaded you allow the game to read from them.

I would assume a DS CPS1 multi would work the same as the CPS2 multi, load a game but once is loaded it starts that game on next boot without any issues
Or does it not work that way?
Or does it not work that way?
So basically it means that it will die soon eh?

I can't say that for certain, since there are a few important details we don't have access to.
Are the 3.3V Roms powered with a proper 3.3V regulator?
If so, maybe it's fine - that depends on how the bus is accessed and how the address lines are driven. I would be more worried for the 68000 and Z80 bus here, though given the CPS1 graphics chipset's notoriety with reliability, we are in a position to worry about everything.
If there is no 3.3V regulator, then those poor flash chips will run hot, suck a lot of power, and die relatively quickly.
It's always worth a few bucks to put in a few 16LVC245, or at least some current limiting resistors (barring anything else)

Just above the C board you can see two voltage regulators next to all the capacitors. It looks like it's handled fine. Looking at the silk screen motherboard there's actually 3 regulators.

Regulators for the flash ROMs aren't enough. I gave details in my post.
Just wanted to say awesome work, but still no Street Fighter Koryu or Rainbow Editions?
-- I know those are two games I'd definitely want to play on a Multi.Lydz, if you read this thread a few people have tried ordering this board through a proxy service but were unable to.
Could you potentially offer an easier and safer way to order this item by chance, or can you recommend a sure fire way?
Thanks in advance.
