Darksoft Neo Multi Help thread

I have recently been doing some repairs on some 4 slot boards and had a board where the multi had major sound issues on KoF98 and freezing/rebooting along with graphics glitches on Pulstar

The board had a backup RAM fault and this has been replaced, but I also did a full recap while it was on the bench

I have now had the multi running KoF98 for about 2 hours and Pulstar about the same with all 4 slots populated (multi in slot 1 with Thrash Rally, Zed Blade and Metal Slug 2 populating the other slots)

Post recap - it has had no issues whatsoever. I changed between games and went back into the menu to load different games to try and break it and it’s still going

tl;dr if you haven’t, even if you don’t think it needs it - recap your board and see if it helps with issues with the multi cart

Super good info. Thanks for sharing.

- BIOS: Stock BIOS
- Voltage: 4.87v measured with board running and all 4 slots populated
- MVS multi: Latest firmware/menu
 
I'm trying the multi mvs but I have an issue with sound of metal slug. The mobo is a mv1fz single slot with original bios and the audio suddenly disappears. I tried 3 different micro sd samsung 16 gb but the problem persists. The voltage on the board is 4.95 v. Do you have any suggestions?

lower the voltage more, down to 4.7 even slowly in small steps and see how it goes.
 
I decreased the voltage of the power supply of my aero city to the minimum (4.75v). I tried to gradually increase it up to 5v but unfortunately no changes... the problem persists,
the audio suddenly disappears and then reappears after a few minutes.
 
If the MVS still works try going down below 4.75v until it stops booting. I have the feeling that it will work if you lower it more.

Which version of FW do you have? The one that came from factory or did you upgrade something?
 
here it is, I have not updated anything, I thought that since it is the latest batch the firmware was already updated.
