It's unclear what is different about the UniROM auto install vs Cheat Cart restore. But I was able to get a corrupted cart to flash perfect by first using the restore 128k datel & 512k datel on real gameshark & action replay cheat carts that were having issues booting normally but now work perfect as UniROM carts.

If unirom cheat cart CD install ask you to "re seat & try again" do a cart restore under install first. This allowed me to install UniROM on a cart that had failed 3 times using auto install on gameshark pro 3.2

Might be a good idea to do a format 128/256/512k in between restore & install, my corrupted cheat cart that was booting into normal bios even with switch on required this now it works perfect !

Hey, did you get to the bottom of this? Sounds like it since we chatted on discord, J.

So my cart is getting extremely hot especially when i access the V-mem but it is working now so weird I flashed it many many times with alot different roms. possible 30 by now & the OEM 3.2 is working on it now. But I still worry there is a micro crack or something because it gets so dam hot.

I think it would be best to use this cart as a UniROM w/o CAETLA or stealth Unlocker because of its issues. For some reason that special version of CAETLA you guys gave me with english + save ability still will not work on this cart
