This came out looking real nice~

All seems to be working as planned. I have stereo RCA audio and 6 buttons working.
I got a little nervous when I fired up Kaiser Knuckle. I wasn’t getting anything out of the right speaker. For some reason this game boots with the speakers unbalance. It starts with the right speaker set at -10 and needs to be set to 0. I’m not sure if this is a multi rom issue or something else. My multi boots straight to the service menu for this game so it’s quick to fix on boot. I’m curious if any other games do this.

Game Settings are saved on the mobo, so when you switch games the settings data is mapped over the options for the new game and it can cause weird results like that. it's like playing mad-libs with your game options.
Good to know. I checked a few other games and didn’t see the balance setting at all. Might be good to compile list of games with this setting unless it’s been done already.
Slight dilemma...
It looks like I'll need to change the PCB connector for the kick harness. I was planning on using the 10 pin JST NH to match the F3, but it's just too tight of a fit. This design will work with the Darksoft Multi, but a regular game cartridge doesn't quite make it. I may have to trash these boards.
I need a low profile vertical connector. Something like the JST XH might work. Any recommendations?

It's worth noting that A LOT of Darksoft Multi users installed that multi PCB inside an original game cartridge case (myself included). So the fitment is the same... multi or not.
I'd refer to keep things clean with connectors. I'll keep the boards around and maybe offer them up after I fix the design.
Good point. All the more reason I need to change connectors. I actually had originally designed this to be used with this connector and changed to the NH connector. Unless I order straight from JST, a lot of these connectors are low to no stock and if they are stocked then the contacts aren't stocked. It's frustrating.

Ditto, mines in one of the Lions3 plexis, no case for me. Don't trash your current board, I'll be happy to buy that one.

Lions3 case for me as well, so would take one based on current design.
When it’s readySo where's the link to buy this?
.Once I’m happy with the fit and a few others are able to test I’ll post here. 1 or 2 months out is my best guess.
I have free test boards out in the mail to 3 different members of this forum. I'll let them decide if they want to provide feedback to me directly or in this thread.
It might not hurt to have a 4th person, preferably someone with electronics knowledge, if anyone is interested.
Just looking for feedback on the design, fit, function, circuit/components, etc. or if I overlooked something.
Waiting for feedback before doing anything else.

I'll PM you to throw my hat into the ring.
