Why did they make it so you couldn't exit the hardware test anyways? I can't really think of any good reason why it wouldn't work to just press a combination of buttons like in the other parts of the setup.Razoola said:Yea, you have to be careful because 'test mode' and 'hardware test' are two totally different things with people not always knowing the difference between them. Basically If the 6 slot is going straight into the hardware test (crosshatch screen) then its probably going to be alot harder to fix than if its always going into the normal testmode menu. The fact that they mention the work 'stuck' indicates to me that its stuck in the hardware test simply because there is no exit method from that while there is an exit option from the normal test mode.

Is there any way you could design the unibios to go back to the test screen from the hardware test without turning it off??? That would be cool.
Razoola said:The next unibios release will have a couple of nice features in this department. Firstly one will be able to reset the NeoGeo from the crosshatch screen, it will simply reset the system much like what happens with the ingame menu soft reset (not into testmode though). The other option will help in fault tracking this very crosshatch fault we are talking about now. This option is basically access to the memory viewer with the ability to change slots on top (incase the fault is on one of the higher slots only). With this you can see exactly what is being seen from the game cart if anything. Data line errors for example will basically show up instantly.
