Fix for the MV1F and MV1FS and power glitch issue

I do not own any original carts. The person who sold me board showed it working when I got it from him I think he could lend me one to test with. Although, it would maybe be good to get a cart for myself; Anyone out there interested in trading a MVS game for my CPS1 hyperfighting?

Yikes. I've got a Samurai Shodown 2 extra but it would not be nearly a fair trade.
 
Yes, don't touch the hyper fighting :)

Go to eBay and get the cheaper MVS cart, should be in the $20-ish range.

@edit: if you never used MVS carts before, they are really nasty things (even worse than old NES carts). Be sure that the cart is correctly positioned (arrow in cart with arrow in motherboard) and then make a quick press to insert the cart. Better quick than slowly inserting.

and i had to clean the contacts of almost every cart with rubbing alcohol.

And sometimes if the contacts are in not so good shape it helps when you insert the cart only 95%...

This. I always push Neo carts all the way in and the pull them just a tiny bit out. Works 95% of the time.
 
I've tried re seating the multi many times to no avail. Still just getting the test screen and can cycle through with 1 button. I have a original cart coming next week so I can test with that to try and help isolate my problem. Thanks again ya'll.
 
Hello everyone!

A new version of the FPGA firmware that elminates the GFX glitches on 4 and 6 slots has been released. It shouldn't have any othe effects as our tests show and it's that way in all the mobos that I tried.

The 4- and 6-slot have another buffers, among others PCLK1 clock which is used for CROMs which causes that the pull-down on our board limits the voltage on this signal to 2.8V.

At some points, the FPGA "reads" the wrong clock cycles on this clock - the patch digitally filters this behavior.

To make a long story short, this fix should:
A) remove GFX glitches on 4 and 6 slot
B) Have no other effect on the rest of motherboards.

Just unpack into \update folder and power on. If the update was succesful the file will be deleted.

All Issues related to Firmware should be fixed. Now we are just adding features...

Check here: Darksoft's MultiMVS Latest Firmware, Menu and Instructions

Thanks!!

P.S. We've got the KOF98 issue which may be Firmware or Menu related.
 
I got my samsho in and was able to test my MVS1FS, the mobo indeed works. So now I am back to wondering if my trace cut was bumb, my card or card preparation was with err, or some other issue.

edit: to be clear I did test cut trace with continuity meter.

If you feel like you need to send it to me for testing then please do so. There will be no charge if it is a n issue with the cart.

@GameOver you have a mv1fs. Try lowering the power from 5.00V down to 4.7V that should fix all your problems.

So, I tested the card on another cab, a Blast City (jamma 5,00V).Same problem of controls on Garou and FF3. Same problem of boot on Pulstar.So I decided to lower the voltage to 4,7 on this cab but still, same errors.

To remember:
MVH MV1FS
Bios Jap
No dip switch enabled
Trace R193 cut and tested
16 Gb Sandisk Micro SD HC1 class 10

I posted on another thread but I ask it also here: Are you sure that you have the latest version of the menu and the firmware?

I have done a complete format of my sd on a pc, and put the official romset with menu 2018-04-02. Is anything else needed?
Do it again today, format etc, and FF3 works well, but same issues on Garou and Pulstar.
I don't really understand if the new firmware is on it or not. Sorry but maybe you can post a link with the complete thing for assholes like me: menu/romset/ firmware? Or post pics like this:

Try copying the roms to the SD card using the standard Windows Explorer, not 3rd-party utilities.

It is just a random exemple of a screen shot with instruction found on the web. I think it is simpler than just words.
