PXL_20240229_185847325.jpg One extra surprise: Boards with this chipset tend to come with a proprietary COAST-like cache module with async cache. This one does too but with a little surprise: PXL_20240229_185858447.jpg love that, can you post photos of the module outside the board? Is it fully …

Yeah, pads need to go more under the chips as curved pins are not even touching the pads and I had to bridge them with solder. I have really good stereo microscope up to 40x so it wasn't so hard but still had to inspect every chip and fix few connections afterwards. With bigger pads, using paste …

I dont see any buttons on your card, can it rewind to show past codes? are there any other codes or just this one? BIOS might be corrupted, do you have ability to flash another bios from theretroweb and swap bios chips?

but you said >using sneskey /x, all the buttons worked perfectly fine so its not a wiring issue. You might have keyboard controller that doesnt support injecting keystrokes, so PAD works, but cant inject anything in DOS

Its already bad so no harm opening up the display module and looking between the layers. 2 screws and 8 metal tabs to unbend and you are in. Be gentle to not rip off very delicate flex bonded to the glass, and try to do it in a cleanest room in the house, away from pet hair 😀

CHS translation is performed by BIOS, and internally by the CF card once again as …

Injecting keys under windows is supported by the OS so no problem, and SNESkey https://arcadecontrols.com/Mirrors/www.csc.tntech.edu/~jbyork/default.htm appears to have windows version of the driver. Now I was under the impression under DOS it would not be reliable, but reading SNESkey readme it …
