The programming adapters are included with the kit. The ProMan / TL86_Plus programmer itself is not included.

UltraBIOS Security-Cartridge Compatibility

Original Capcom Custom SH-2 Compatible UltraBIOS cartridges using an original Capcom custom SH-2 processor can be used with the UltraSIMMs when the matching programming files are used.
Reproduction Standard SH-2 Compatible reproduction UltraBIOS cartridges using a standard SH-2 processor are also supported with the correct programming files.
Match the Programming Files UltraSIMMs 1 and 2 must be programmed with files intended for the processor used by the installed cartridge. Some modified game versions may specifically require a standard-SH-2 reproduction cartridge.

Programming the UltraSIMMs

1. Program UltraSIMMs 1 & 2 The two dual-flash modules use the SIMM 512 adapter. Program one bank with the adapter set to U9, then program the second bank with the selector set to U10.
2. Program UltraSIMMs 3 Through 6 The four single-flash modules use the SIMM 1G adapter and require one appropriate programming file per UltraSIMM.
3. Disconnect USB Before Changing Hardware Disconnect the programmer from USB before changing adapters or UltraSIMMs.
4. Verify Every Programming Operation Confirm adapter orientation and make sure each programming operation completes and verifies successfully before installing the module.

Installing the Six CPS3 UltraSIMMs

1. Install Dual-Flash UltraSIMMs in Slots 1 & 2 The two dual-flash modules belong in CPS3 motherboard slots 1 and 2.
2. Install Single-Flash UltraSIMMs in Slots 3–6 The four single-flash modules belong in positions 3, 4, 5, and 6.
3. Connect the Daisy-Chain Cable Connect all six UltraSIMMs using the orientation shown in the installation guide.
4. Install the UltraBIOS Cartridge Install the compatible UltraBIOS cartridge after confirming the programmed files match its processor type.
5. Select and Power-Cycle Choose the desired configuration with the DIP-bank selector, then power-cycle the CPS3 system to start the selected game.
Important: This Kit Does Not Use a microSD Card

Game data is programmed directly onto the six UltraSIMMs with a compatible programmer before installation.

Review the complete installation guide before programming or connecting any component, and use files that match the processor in the installed UltraBIOS cartridge.
