A few updates.
*Small bug fix when loading larger files so they now load.
*Removed a couple of the more obscure routines as I wasn’t happy with them.
*Now, if the loaded file is an uneven size it will offer to pad the file for you. Minimum size for this is 0x400.
*Fixed a bug with bit manipulation when saving/loading settings
BINman update
Updated BINman to support IPS patching (v4.6.0).
Recently needed to patch a file so though i best add it. Its not thoroughly tested but im sure bugs will be discovered in time and i will fix it.
CPS2 Reverse Engineering Project
Not one of mine but I feel this one deserves more awareness.

There are schematics and KiCAD libraries too.
Vogatek adapter issues
I know there are others out there that have had issues with Vogatek JAMMA adapters but this is the first time ive personally had an issue.
I’ve had this Konami adapter for a few years now but never had to use it.
It had issues with the Red channel when I first used it one a Shao-lin’s Road PCB.
I physically disconnected the Red signal from the PCB but found there was a SYNC signal still present on the pin.
Using a multimeter I found that pin 14 on both sides of the adapter were shorted.
I lifted the Red pin at the adapter and found this
You can see the metal pin from the SYNC signal folded up and making contact with the Red pad once it was soldered.
You can see issues That Virtvic had with his Pacman adapter HERE
If you have recently bought any of these adapters then it may be worth your time doing some checks
BINman updated to v4.5.1
Made a few small updates since the last version. Download from the usual page.
