Darksoft Ultra CPS3 SIMM Multigame Kit
Product information "Darksoft Ultra CPS3 SIMM Multigame Kit"
No more long loading times. The UltraSIMM has 8× the capacity of a regular SIMM so you can load up to eight CPS-III games and switch without painful waits.
Helpful Tips & Tricks
Two adapter boards compatible with TL86_PLUS (PROMAN) are included.
You’ll need a TL86_PLUS / PROMAN programmer (typically around $85; not included).
Each SIMM has a different pinout—match the SIMM type to the correct adapter.
Programming the SIMMs
64 Mb SIMMs (two flash chips): program using the adapter labeled “Adapter SIMM 512 (TL86)” with a switch.
128 Mb SIMMs (one flash chip): program using the adapter labeled “Adapter SIMM 1G (TL86)” (no switch).
Programming is straightforward and takes ~3 minutes per SIMM.
Note: The kit requires a new BIOS that will be published on the forum. Works only with carts that have standard SH-2 processors. After installation you can switch between games with a 3-position DIP switch (power cycle required).
