Production status updated


After doing my best in order to get good quality flash chips. I could only secure enough for 50 units. That's half of the 100 carts. The rest I'm going to have to order from Greenliant directly. I will order also enough for CPS2 and Taito F3 project, so this will not happen again. I have received several quotes from questionable chinese suppliers and to be honest I don't want that after all the care and time spent put in this project, see everything go south for just installing some bad quality flashes and having people sending me back their cartrdges for repair and ending up thinking that this was a bad product. I want to provide you with quality from the beggining to the end. As I said before, this works with any STV motherboard or BIOS, I have checked loading times with many different type of flahes and microSD in order to provide the best result. If your cartridge goes broken for any reason send it back and if it's due to any production issues you'll get it fixed for free.

I will start production on monday for the first 50 units that will go to the first 50 people who ordered it. The rest will unfortunately need to wait until the freshly baked flashes arrive. For those who have to wait, I will include a Multi Region BIOS if they so wish completely free.

At least I feel reliefed because I feel confident that the feedback from those first 50 people who should receive the cartridge in 1-2 weeks will be excellent.

I'll keep you updated.

Final ISOS for CPS3 Released!!!

I have decided to release the final ISOS for CPS3 both for custom SH2 and standard SH2.

The filenames are the exact ones to play it on MAME.

If you got the CPU in your cartridge changed then you need the HD6417095 version. If you just got your cartridge BIOS changed, then you need the custom.

Enjoy!

Update on the cartridge

Paypal still is blocking my funds....sorry! your funds! so I couldn't buy any components yet. Feel free to write them and let them kindly know your opinion.

Besides that, there are a couple of improvements in the cartridge.

Latest features are:
* Plays wave before programming and after programming the flashes.
* Is prepared to support a new BIOS(not ready yet) that will tell you the percentage of Completion of memory flashing process.
* I have added support for all regions, so(theoretically) the cartridge will support all games with any BIOS.
* You can connect the output sounds of the cartridge (it plays a wave when starts programming  a game into the flash memories and another wave when it finishes) to the STV Main Board Audio Amplifier so you can hear all the sounds in your cabinet.

I'll keep you updated.
