Today about 15 units left and about 70 more were packed and will leave tomorrow, then another 50 will follow on Monday. You'll get the notifications as soon as they're actually shipped.

Thank you darksoft much appreciated

It appears some kind person fixed the Super Puzzle Fighter romsets, and uploaded them

Thank you, mystery person


EDIT: just tested this on my multi cart - works sweet

Just to note, please ensure you copy the entire folders across on your SD card. Its not just a matter of an updated .01 file. Youll see there is one extra file added as well (i think there's a .04 file which wasn't there before) - so now there are 12 files instead of 11 in each folder.

At some point before the crap hit the fan someone posted a link detailing which Pal revision different boards have. Does anyone have that link?

If you look up 7 posts you will see Darksoft's update. The final kits will go out on Monday. Yours is most likely one of those.

Ahh ok sorry about that. I misunderstood what he had said.

My 3D printed case arrived today, I'm not sure if this is how it was intended to install but I like it.




Oh and Also... A big thanks to everyone involved, I finally played SPF2X tonight... WITH sound!!!

I like the way that looks.

What service did you get it printed through and how much did it run you?

[KalessinDB]

Random question... We've got these gorgeous stickers for our cases, but I for one have mine in a blue case and have only been able to find a blank JP serial sticker... Anyone have/willing to make a US serial sticker to go with these? Blank or something clever?

Just a thought...

Maybe a template so you can enter the serial of your multikit. (It's on a sticker on the bottom of the main kit pcb)

It was 10$ including shipping from the user ChocolateApple on this site.

HI,

today, I started the FW upgrade process :



I bought the specified MT32 discovery device from ST electronics. I soldered connectors on the J4 socket, from the Multi CPS2 board.
I connected the PSU, soldering the 5VDC and the GND, using a regular ATX PSU.

Mt32 is well responding when connecting to windows.

But here comes what left me out of the road : reading the how-to tutorial for the FW upgrade, the explanation is made using a st32f4 and not the stm32 advised.
On the st32f4, the SWD connector has 5 pins and the stm32 only 4.
After reading the stm32 manual I deduced this pinout :
1 - VDD TARGET
2 - SWD CLOCK
3 - GND
4 - SWDIO

So I linked it as follow :
1 - J4 - Pin 2
2 - J4 - Pin 3
3 - J4 - Pin 10
4 - J4 - Pin 1

Unfortunately, I had this error :



Of course I have verified the continuity of each pin, but at this point there are too much doubtful points on the wire mapping.

Any help would be welcome.

On your picture the Jumpers on the STM32 pcb are still there (CN3) - you have to unplug them, like in the manual on page 4 (VERY IMPORTANT!!! CN3 Jumpers must be OFF (Not connected))
Maybe that is the problem!

Your wiring sounds good, no idea if the 5th connection (NRST) is needed in your case.

[funkycochise]

Sometimes I'm very angry against myself :
I did everything quite well but I totally forget about those two jumpers.
after removing them, the board was responding like it should, my wiring was then correct.



And flashing with automatic reboot worked like a charm



Thank you all. Good job, darksoft !

Patiently waiting for a tracking number since it's Monday.
