I received a CPS2 and multi-kit today from another forum member.
The CPS2 was Marvel Superheroes. It had no battery and did nothing when I plugged it into one of my cabs.
I installed the kit. It has an F Pal and I installed a wire from the pin on it to the one on the multi.
I also installed wires for key writing.
I wasn't sure which firmware was on it, so placed the file from one of Darksoft's post about the newer key writing FW onto the SD. When booting it seemed to take a while. I assume it was flashing. I did NOT have the key writing wires installed prior to that.
Visually inspecting the installation, I'm not noticing any issues with the pins.
At the moment I'm plugging the B board without a case into A. The connections seem pretty secure.
The LCD comes on and browses through the games. I have the set linked in the smokemonster thread. I select a game and I get a greenish screen with thin diagonal lines while flashing, and when it's finished, I get a grayish blue screen with thick stepped diagonal black lines.
I hear no sounds.
I measure 5v at the JAMMA connector coming into the board when it's powered on.
Any suggestions on troubleshooting this would be appreciated.
Edit: forgot to mention jumpers. I believe they're all set correctly, but I'll double check. I only had to make changes in the 3rd bank of switches. Others were as needed already, IIRC.
