For what?

The MVS multi comes with a shell.

I dont like mate shell.

I dont like mate shell.

Ahh, Ok.

Just be very careful swapping the boards over.

my main problem is the hole for the sd card.

If you buy a different case you need to cut that hole anyway

@djsheep thanks for feedback. I have a new FW almost ready. Those problems are related to the top file. I'll let you know as soon as the file is released.

Thanks.

 

[djsheep]

Awesome! Keen to get it back on track, let me know if you want some testing done before it’s released.

 

[Porthos]

I have the same issue as djsheep.

In my case the problem is fixed when I change the slot and then I turn back.

Hello, I've been trying to update my MVS and now it never boots and just goes to the convergence image. I'm digging through the forums and can't quite figure out what to try next. It did work for years fine but for all intents and purposes it is almost like it is bricked now.

Thanks

Edit: Spoke to soon. Now I got it to work but some of the graphics aren't working correctly. I added a link to a photo of what it's doing.



Edit 2: found an older post about an issue with the menu but everything looks fine in the \games\MENU and seem to be the new versions. Also, game folders are in \games and this sd card and cart worked before I tried updating it.

 

[Darksoft]

looks like you used the top file from AES instead of MVS.

 

[WaxxZ]

I’m not sure how I would have done that but should I fix it by updating the menu again or deleting the top in games/menu and then copying in the MVS?

Thanks for the response, I appreciate the advice.

 

[Darksoft]

just copy the right TOP file into \updates from your microSD. That's it.

 

[WaxxZ]

That did it, thanks Darksoft.

got the exact same problem here (white pixles/lines artifacts) really interested to try the new fw!

 

[modraw]

I have this video showing the gfx glitch I'm facing - you can see the issue on the "M" : with small horizontal lines showing up quickly but there's a lot on the whole screen.

I haven't updated my MVS multi in a while, but i've put on the latest fw and menu and now i'm not getting any sound. Also not getting any sound in the menu and if I go to select music it flashes up 'Z80 error'. However i've tested with a regular cart and sound is working fine with that.

I will admit I accidentally flashed the AES fw on but have since flashed it with the correct MVS fw.

I'm using an MVS 2 slot. Any ideas?

Did you reflash again both files TOP and flash.img and the corresponding menu as well? I think you forgot the menu.

Yes i reflashed the flash.img, then the top file then the menu. All disappeared from the update folder so I assume worked ok.
The AES version had a cpld file however and there wasn't one of those in the MVS fw.

 

[Darksoft]

Try this CPLD and see if it helps. If it doesnt, then it's probably a bad contact between cart and motherboard.
