I thought key injection was required for the multi?

wouldn't you just need to remove the wire mod?
You yes, users with little soldering knowledge,would prefer to avoid that.
I am, but I believe that the kit will be release using regular B-21 first.
I suspect it will be more like the CPS2 multi, where we got it without the key writing functionality to start, and then it was a firmware update to include that functionality later.
if you get a battery backed C-Board it will work in both scenarios.
the wire is part of the de-suicide mode.
it doesn't have one, and it's not needed as the multi's B-board will have the Kick connector.
One more for ya.
If I bought the c board for WW. Would it be compatible for the multi?
Bonus. Would it be Q sound compatible with the proper c board as well?
Should I give up on the idea that WW will be a donor at all?

NO
if the chip on the C-Board does not say "B-21" then it is i not compatible PERIOD.
if the chip DOES say B-21 then it is compatible; with everything.
The List of games that have a B-21 chip are all in the first post.
Whether or not it supports key re-writing depends on the rest of the C-Board.
Q-Sound has nothing to do with the C-Board. but FWIW all Q-Sound CPS1 games use a B-21 Chip from the factory.

so is it good? Can I remove the wire? Last thing can I update the multi with the fpga to replace the B21?
I would not have posted them if they weren't good for use with the multi.
In their current form they will not do key-re-writing, which means you will not be able to use original/protected ROMs. They will only work with patched ROMs.
this is a great option for someone who has a CPS1 board but does not have a B-21 C-Board (like @hoagtech , he could use one of these plus the A-Board from his World Warrior PCB to make a good donor set for the multi)
if you want to un-do the de-suicide mod you will need to repair 2 traces and repair 2 cut pins on the B-21 chip in addition to removing the wire. it would require some skill to do.
I don't have an answer to that question.

Can we hope a firmware update for original/protected ROMs like on CPS2?twistedsymphony said:
if it's necessary I know one guy can do it for me. Is it?twistedsymphony said:
If I good understanding I must have one for the multi, if it's working I dont see the problem....
we don't know the answer to that question yet.
I don't know, you tell me. it's based on your personal preference.
You've answered your own question and justified its purchase then...
