I have seen a couple folks that have replaced their original B board sticker with a really nice Multikit sticker and was wondering if someone had a link where to purchase one.


Sorry for the off topic Q.
Darksoft's selling them for not much. I still can't decide which I like more

Was playing Hyper SFII AE USA version yesterday when the screen suddenly turned completely blue and froze. Turned the arcade off and then back on again and it booted right up. Hasn't crashed again since, but it was odd. First time it has crashed in about a week. Memory card is the Samsung 4GB Class 4 card that was recommended.

I'm quoting myself here. IF you want me to increase compatibility, please provide so much info as you can about the cards not working for you.

If someone has a Mac microSD not working with the kit and can send me an image dump made with i.e. WinHex that would help a lot.
Hi darksoft,

Here's a like of the folder structure (same trouble happens on different µSD), so I believe it should behave the same way with yours.
https://mega.co.nz/#!jJZVXYzL!DT4DyMM4y ... F8kFi8pwqo
this structure only contains Name files. What happens is that passed the 112 folder, the name files are completely ignored.

I will also try to make a faulty µSD on MacOS X.

edit : here's a dump of a µSD built on OS X, producing weird characters on the alpha display screen.

https://mega.co.nz/#!SJYmQTzT!Dqo8SnVw9 ... QHIeO50has

dump was made using WinHex, original µSD id 32GB in size.

regards,
FKY

Under the GFX roms, you have a white CAPCOM logo printed at the board soldermask. Right besides it a number "93646B-X". The X is the board revision.

An "A" board would be marked "93646A-X".

Also getting this. Seems to happen for me when I use Ken on SUPERT (Normal,Champ,etc. seem fine). When I hit Forward-Down (either as 1p or 2p) a few times when the round starts it shoots me to a green/teal screen. This doesn't seem to happen on the Asia version for me.

Anyone else getting this? Using FW upg with auto reset wire and on a rev7/palG and a Sony UHS-1 8gb card from a Mac, dot_clean-ed.

So my multi setup is ALLLLLMOST perfect, just one thing to do... :D Seems when the screen contrast potentiometer (adjustable resistor) was soldered on, there was a little mistake and some of the plastic body got the business end of the soldering iron. Does anyone know the part number (or specs) for a replacement pot I can use (the one that's there works, but it's a bit flakey)? Also, do you have a part number for the long pins on the larger pcb? I think 1 or 2 of those pins are a bit bent and not long for this world.

Can you send me a picture of the microSD. Was it SDHX or SDXC? SDXC is not supported.

alright, got the LCD today, just one question -
when setting up the SD card it's
X:/games/'gamename'/'gamedata'

IE
X:/cybotsudm/cyb.01 .02....

or is it just
X:/'gamename'/'gamedata'

also, where can I get one of those cart stickers?
