Hello everyone -
I have seen the thread here: Please help: Could not figure out why my CPS2 Darksoft kit not working
That person has a similar problem to me, so I will perform these steps as well when I get home. Can you please take a look at my photos and see if there is anything else that looks out of place? Here are the details. Note that I checked my solder points on the jumpers and it is all clean...no crossed wires.
Also - the first pic below shows what appears to be a missing pin on the ARM...I looked it over again and there is no pin missing, it was the angle/shadow of the photo.
I have already tried adjusting the contrast pot, it is not the issue.
The boards are super tight and no bent pins, but I can try re-seating again.
Board status: Was a working board at one point, has since had the battery removed, no battery on the PCB.
Board Revision: 4
Darksoft kit manufacturered date: 2018
Original Game: Marvel Super Heroes
PAL: F-Pal installation with a jumper from the pulled leg (4th one over) to CN3 C13
JP jumpers adjusted - I double checked the order as I did it to match the manual - will check again for a third time.
Key Writing jumper wires installed as well.
Used a CPS2 rollup Rom pack on my SD card installed using a PC
Any thoughts on what is going on, what I may be missing, or what I have done incorrectly? Do I need to do some other form of "reset" to the board?
I have waited months to get this kit, any help would be greatly appreciated!
