CPS III Questions??

Post by CPS2 »

I've just bought a Euro 3s kit. When I boot it up it displays a message telling me to add more memory. My boards has 4 simms in it.

Any ideas?

Tried reseating the SIMMs? A 3S board should have (seen from the direction of the JAMMA edge) a minimum of 4x 128 MBit SIMMs in the top left slots and 2x 64 MBit SIMMs on the right.
Once I start I cannot stop myself

Found it in the manual, any idea where to get one tho.

The sec cart holder would be good too.

Andy- I think I have a spare CD bracket on hand. Let me check the stash. They're extremely basic (machine bent + drilled metal), however they're incredibly rare and desirable. You can always get away with modifying and drilling some sheet metal yourself, which I've done in the past.
