Hi guys,
So here i am, desperate after 2 days of trying and not getting anywhere...
I got a cart from Darksoft (through Mymoza) in Feb 2018, hadn't had time to set the whole thing up until now. Got an OG 3S board, OG memories (board used to work real fine) with that new cart and the SCSCI SD Card 5.0 (the red one).
I've read and reread all pages to see what I was doing wrong...
1/ SD Card reader's firmware is up to date (should it be? 4.8.1)
Set up exactly as Jassin and many other have said it should be (Parity enabled/1/CDRom/700mb etc)
Everything saved onto device. The connector is in the right position (red line close to power).
2/ SD Cards formated, and games copied bit by bit using HDD Raw Copy Tool. For the sake of trying since idk what cart i have, i have the Custom and Standard version on each one. (got 2 micro sds for the tests)
I've had 2 main problems that ended up with the same result.
I had done it all without upgrading the firmware at first. When I'd turn on the power, I'd get "Now Reading CD" which is great, then would go straight to the Select Country screen (Third Strike) but there i wouldn't be able to choose anything. No freezing as some might have experienced, just nothing. Up down ok, but would go any further. When booting with Start, I'd get all the menu and same. Up and down, but can click anywhere.
After upgrading the firmware the game went straight to "Not enough memory installed on the PCB" O.o Tried moving the SIMMS. Same result. One of the cards i noticed would make the reader's light to flash continuously. I think it's the custom version(need to double check).
Bypassed it with launching the menu by pressing start (on both). There, same as before, i've got all options (flash mem, disk & files, game boot and rewrite), when i try to rewrite, nothing happens. I just can't access any of these options.
I can go up down and that's it. Just like in the Area Selection screen when it used to pop up.
Does it ring any bell, O Gods of the CPSIII? I don't think it's a button problem since i can access the menu. I even tried to wire Up/Down on the buttons, Hitbox style, and it works. Any ideas? I'm this close to crying! ( ; ^
Hope someone can save me.
Thanks in advance! m(_ _)m
