Do these games require 128 MB RAM? I only have 32 MB and all the CPS-2 games have garbled graphics.

No, some of them work fine with 32MB and the rest needs 64MB at least.

I am also getting all black screens on the CPS2 games. I updated through the update_all script with beta on

I think I actually solved it.

qsound.zip needs to be in the same folder as the games, effectively games/mame.

Tried this just now and still the same blank screen. I have also tried by deleting mra and rbf files and running update_all for the 3rd time to no avail. Update message says successful, yet, I get blank screen when loading cps2 roms.

Very few users had such a problem and after doing everything possible they redid their SD card which solved the problem.
I have a question for these few users: are you using SAM?

In the process of running update_all on a newly imaged sd card. Btw, what's SAM?

I guess if you don't know you don't have it installed. It is Super Attract Mode.

Why would that matter?

Try putting qsound.zip in /media/fat/_Arcade/mame, that was the default location set by the Update_All script when I first setup my MiSTer.

Haven't had any problems with Capcom CPS 1.5 and CPS 2 games at all.

Good news! as suggested by jca, a fresh installed sd card was the key to getting everything to work. Thank you!
