A regular non-rechargeable CR2032 should last for years on a PGM.

Non-rechargeable seems to be the way to go for long-term use.

It probably wasn't mentioned because the posters were looking for the best game on the original PGM hardware, not the PGM2.

Nice! That's one dirty MV1C! You can buy a replacement plastic cover on ebay.

Standard files work. If you come across one that doesn't boot, just get a different one.

Yep, just put it in the right way. No danger beyond any possible damage already done.

If you post a photo of the slots people here might be able to help check if anything looks amiss.

That was already fixed in a firmware update.

PGM homebrew?

"Neo Geo"? Did they rearrange the soundtrack for the Neo Geo? I assume it just has a recording from the arcade.

Is the game expensive now? I would just return it or sell it to someone who can fix it and buy a new one.

You have to desolder the chips and read them in an EPROM programmer. It is a pretty common problem. My Irritating Maze cart is beat up, and had a V rom go bad.

That button on the right side of the OMVS is a test button, right? Sure, that's easier to add than a reset because that's on the jamma edge, but there are solder points for a reset button on the back of the MV1C, I'll tell you. :P You don't need the test button if you've got a Unibios installed...

Fully 5v modding the board, if it hasn't been done already, and replacing all the remaining caps might be a good idea. It sounds like the board is pretty close to being a full working board. I don't think the OMVS has a reset button? If not, it should. I would try resetting the system right...

I really doubt you broke the game. You must have inadvertently got a test or pause switch stuck on without realizing it. Double check the physical switches on the PGM board and supergun, and clear the ram if you can. Get another game to test with.
