Replacement

Picture from MVS-Scans

On the MV1A and MV1B, one NEO-BUF chip is used as a uni-directionnal buffer for the 68k data bus. Some of these faulty chips were replaced by small passive pass-through boards by third parties, which may cause some games to crash:

  • MV1B: GA1 on the SLOT1B board
  • MV1A: GA11
