So I went back and took a look at my Xmen:COTA USA and Xmen vs. SF USA boards and found that they both have JP1, 4, 5, 9, 10, & 12 jumped with a small trace on the board. I jumped those same jumpers on the MvC USA board, checked the rest for matching configuration, still nothing working. I...

Then I'm not really getting anywhere with the board jumpers... I set them as exactly they were on the old board. I cut traces on anything that I assumed wasn't supposed to be shorted even when it didn't have solder bead.

Do the first 13 change region to region?

I found JP10 on the board still coming up shorted even though I cleaned and practically destroyed the pads. I really don't know why. Two seconds from scrapping this project and waiting until I get an actual USA B board. edit: Some of the first 13 jumpers on the board have a tiny strip...

I have 3 USA A boards, 2 first boot with dark blue, then subsequent power cycles show a grey/blue sort of color . The third is black screen, then red every power on. I've checked all the soldering work, seems to all check out just fine. So for MVCU, code is 01010000, counting from 7 to 0...

Yeah I'm not sure what's wrong. A blue/grey-ish screen is all I get. Open to suggestions

Ok this is exactly what I thought it might be too.. wasn't sure if in fact the CCX caps were needed or not or if I needed to transplant the BGS 1 & 2 as well. This was a Marvel vs. Capcom USA version, so MVCU is what I set the Infinikey to , and since its a rev-6 board, I jumped the non-5...

Ok finally finished transferring all the backplane connectors, I have pictures I'll be resizing and uploading this afternoon. When I power it up, I just get solid color screens. One USA A board gave me a all RED screen (black on first boot), another USA A board gave me a AQUA BLUE or DARK...

Spent about another hour going through removing the third connector. What I've found is that the battery leakage that affected pins on the connectors makes it much harder to desolder. I definitely plan to take some pictures of this whole process, so far all I have been doing though is just...

I spent the better part of 2.5 hours yesterday just to remove 2 connectors from the old damaged US board. I still have 2 more to go and then on to removing the 4 connectors from the Asia board. It's 96 pins, x 4 ... then I have to do it again on the new board 96 x 4. That's 768 pins to...

Hi, so I have a US Marvel vs Capcom rev 6 B board that was badly damaged by the battery leak. I picked up another rev 6 B board for Street Fighter Zero to convert Marvel vs Capcom to but I accidentally bought a ASIA B board. I only have a US A board. I've already transferred over the ROMS...

It's a CD-Rom image that is barely 100MB. I also have been seeing issues with the dumps from the web archives, I have been having more success with extracting from CHD files from mame romsets

Been trying Gundam vs Gundam NEXT on the same 8GB CF I have had success with, but with this one the game doesn't fully boot -- hangs at BOOT 02 message. Fate Unlimited Codes was doing similar when it was on too large of a CF card, which makes me think maybe the IMG file I wrote to the CF card...

I've only tried so far: Fate Unlimited Codes - played fine Ace Driver 3: Final Lap - need to setup my IONA-MP07 JVS I/O to something that matches this game MotoGP - same as Ace Driver I have a 246B and a 256, both with JAMMA(B) I/O boards as well as an INOA-MP07 with some custom maps. I...

I'm interested in one, don't care if HDD is compatible or not as I worked out a solution with a CF reader for HDD games. The Toshiba DVD-Rom on my 246B is starting to show signs of failure, this is my second one so far. I'm pretty sure we are the ones buying all of the compatible IDE DVD-Rom...
