Fusion converter



The Fusion converter is a low-cost, open hardware MVS to AES adapter by User:furrtek using some logic definitions by user:kyuusaku.

=Issues of batch 1=


 * Metal Slug X has been reported not to work on some AES revisions, the problem can be fixed by adding a switch to route the CHA board's MVS side /SLOTCS line (originally connected to /RESET) to SDRD0 instead.

Need to investigate more...

=Compatibility list=


 * Works : Boots, plays at least first level/first minutes
 * Should work : Not tested, but game doesn't use special SW/HW
 * Yellow : Crashes, reboots at certain moments or randomly
 * Red : Doesn't boot, can't work on AES
