Darksoft CPS-III UltraSIMM — Load Up to 8 Games

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.

Install / Setup Guide

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).
