    Consolized MVS MV1B Not Booting past the Unibios 4.0 screen.

    For some reason whenever I go to the HW Menu the system freezes up and does not let me check any of the options. How would I go about jumpering the dip switch? I do have a MV1C board that I could possibly remove/desolder the dip switches and attach them to the MV1B but if there’s an easier way...

    Consolized MVS MV1B Not Booting past the Unibios 4.0 screen.

    Dang, the dip switches were removed on the board. Any way to shut it off through the unibios? When I attempt to access the settings menu where the hardware test, no soft/hard dip settings and Calendar is located the system freezes and I am unable to select anything or move up/down on the menu.

    Consolized MVS MV1B Not Booting past the Unibios 4.0 screen.

    It's strange. The problems started while playing Samurai Showdown 2 (official MVS cart) with the games graphics and audio going in slow motion. After a few restarts, the games did not go past the Unibios menu. (Tried Super Strikers 2, Sam Sho 2 and even a NeoSD Pro) -The MVS will NOT show a...

    WTB Night Striker - Arcade Board - Taito Z

    Wow, this is such a great deal. I wish I was local and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase with pickup. I live in Los Angeles, CA and shipping would make it cost more than I can afford. Oh, man, so cool for whoever gets this.

    WTB Night Striker - Arcade Board - Taito Z

    It's a childhood favorite of mine. I remember playing this in a sitdown cab (which included a flighstick w/trigger!) at my local arcade. The OST by Zuntata is immaculate. I've tried playing the ports and they've all got problems from either too low of a resolution (Sega CD) or sporadic load...

    MV1C - Backup Ram Error

    This sounds like the best course of action. Even if the lv ram chips are still functional, I would be better off replacing them with new ram, with the proper voltage, and then go from there. Based on this: https://wiki.neogeodev.org/index.php?title=RAM_chip It appears the (6) needed RAM chips...

    MV1C - Backup Ram Error

    So I contacted TimeHarvest (the vendor of the CBOX/SuperGun unit) about the error message and they told me: I knew I was buying a refurbished product, so I thought that was cool of them to offer replacement ram for free, but it is possible that it could not be what they specified (HC32 maybe?)...

    MV1C - Backup Ram Error

    Thank you for the suggestions. When I test the points on the HC32 what will it be that I am looking for? I'm a noob at using a multimeter and am not quite sure which specific setting to use and what reading I'm looking for on the meter.

    MV1C - Backup Ram Error

    Hello, I have been getting Backup Ram Error messages from my MV1C. 00D00000 5555 557E 00D00000 5555 557F 00D00000 5555 5540 From my research it appears it is a lower-ram issue, possibly a broken trace. I got myself a multimeter but I'm not sure what I'm looking for when I use it. Any help...

    DARKSOFT CPS2 Multikit: Instructions and videos (old version till 10.2020)

    You probably already finished, but in case anyone else needs some ideas, I used a soldering iron and it cut through the plastic leg like butter. I taped thick paper all around the area before I began, to make sure the soldering iron didn't mark up any other areas. Make sure you have a fan handy...

    Hello from Los Angeles, CA

    Hello everyone, I decided to make an account to assist with any issues I may have encountered in installing the CPS2 Darksoft kit. Thankfully, all went smooth, in large part to all the thorough troubleshooting threads (on the subject) already on this forum. I'm looking forward to being part of...
