Hi, the t48 is compatible with S/M chips, you can use this adaptor: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005004667380226.html the "ex-a" is the correct for the t48, im tested it. The xgecu t52 use another adapter.

I asked several vendors and they told me (their chatbot actually) the good adapter was the EX-C. And by the description of the ad, it seems to be ok. So I purchased it (still pending to arrive).
The adapter is not cheap, 20€, so if it is not working, I'm quite angry.
In vendor's ad it says EX-A it's for 29xxx chips, so I figured that was not it
EX-C is for, among others, 28F512P
Hi, i'm tested all adaptors EX-A, EX-B and EX-C, the only works with 28F512P chip is the EX-A adaptor.

I use EX-A on T48 and it works great. I align the TSOP56 chip while looking under the microscope as the socket is so-so at making good contact. I even paid extra to buy the adapter from "XGecu Official Store" which says that they use "made in Japan" high quality connectors and not junk like the other sellers on AliExpress.
You are also using the EX-A adaptor?

Hi, you can use this patch for the unibios 4.0, allow a PICKnMIX, but you need create a special games list.

Thank you so much!!! I have been trying to figure out a way to soft-reboot back to the games menu. Zardam has a patch for the unibios that does exatly what I was looking for. Christmas came early.

For the cart that you produce. do you use the same game list like this one https://github.com/zardam/ub_vortex_multicart/blob/main/uni-bios_4_0_PICKnMIX.csv
The patch for Unibios 4.0 requires the hardcoded gamelist to be exactly the same as https://github.com/zardam/ub_vortex_multicart/blob/main/uni-bios_4_0_PICKnMIX.csv

I am a little curious about this too, I bought an all-in-one from leonk that works great, I got a patched unibios 4.0 from him too that allows the soft reset back to the menu. However, Pick-N-Mix does not work (I did not expect it to btw). I tested a regular 161-in-1 v3 cart out with the same bios and Pick-N-Mix does work. It is nice to be able to leave the cab on in a rotating attract mode sometimes as opposed to the single game attract mode from the all-in-one or even just the game menu which I would have concerns about the potential for burn in.
Six months ago there were a couple posts about the bios patch for Pick-N-Mix using an all-in-one. My game list does not match the required CSV order shown, but a couple posts by kuze look like he may have been able to modify the bios patch game list with a different one and even possibly modify the game list (to exclude the 240p test suite for example). I'm curious to know, this isn't at the top of my list and unfortunately swapping the bios on my 4 slot is a bit more of a process that the socketed one slot boards, but it might be something I would look to do in the future if @kuze could possibly chime in with any info.

He does not . It was customized and I think there's a spreadsheet at the start of the thread with the game list.
Kuze took the game list I provided him and followed the github instructions to compile his own Pick-N-Mix unibios. He then wrote it to an EPROM and reported that it works great.
I've yet to try to reproduce this just because, tbh, I prefer the look of the new menu that I put on the carts vs the Pick-N-Mix look. No doubt that Pick-N-Mix looks better than the original menu that comes with 161-in-1.

What instructions? I'm interested in reading them/seeing what I can do with them.Kuze took the game list I provided him and followed the github instructions to compile his own Pick-N-Mix unibios. He then wrote it to an EPROM and reported that it works great.

It's in the src folder of the github repo that's linked above.

You see instructions in there? I see a lot of assembly and a little python.
maybe check the file called build.
