I just got a clean magical drop 3 mvs cart in the mail. its in very nice condition, and complete as kit without the box. anyway, when i first popped it in my consolized 2slot it gave an error at the first start (unibios 2.1) without thinking i just restarted the 2slot and it started fine....

BUT now player 1 cannot move right....??? everything works accept p1 cannot move right. what has happened? anyone?

I tried like 5 other games and all were the same... but when i swich to slot 2, they all work (i didnt test md3 in slot 2...only slot 1.. dont wanna ruin whole my 2slot)

anyone who can help me out here?

From out of the blue I would say, check your controller if its connected well. There has been countless times my connection moved slightly so it came out a bit and I couldn't move left or down.

I've had certain directions and buttons not respond properly when there isn't a good connection with the cart and connector. Try cleaning the cart maybe?

That's weird, try cleaning the affected slot.

I agree..x3

try cleaning the affected slot,and cart connectors..

Clear all back-up memory...
........
Plus it could be a broken trace for the affected slot..


I don't think the cart caused it at all..(within being a program problem with the cart)
Now,if the MD3 cart connectors were dirty or had a film on it then it would/may be harder to get into the slot,thus putting more pressure on the board-affected slot when you inserted it..and causing something on the board to seperate,or a trace to break..

I've had some carts that I didn't clean feel real tight when going into the slot,until I cleaned them..I did not like the way those carts felt when going in before I cleaned them..
