I have a MV1B1 that
1. Freezes the moment I choose a game on 161 in 1 Cart
2. Restarts at the same point on Shock Troopers and Metal Slug 3 (just checked these two and Aero Fighters 2).
It also had bad sprites issue where basically the sprites and Neo-geo eyecatcher were missing which was totally fixed after I saw that 32nd pin of Mask2 chip was loose and was soldered.
Is there a way I can use MAME to basically run Shock Troopers and Metal Slug 3 upto the point where the game restarts on the Mv1B1 to see if it is accessing some parts of the memory that is causing the crash?
I am thinking is there a way I can see what instructions is being given in each step for these two game to see if there is any common step and try to trace it to a chip. I am a n00b but I am sort of getting a few boards running and I was thinking if this is even viable.
Weirdly Aero Fighters 2 seems to be immune to this and runs like a champ.
I only use and have the stock BIOS so any UNIBIOS solution would not work in my case
