Need help with Windjammers MVS

DegenerateSkate · Jun 13, 2007

I have Windjammers MVS cart and it plays all the way threw the title screen and demo on my 6 slot, but once I hit the player one start button it resets. I have never had a problem with this before when it was installed in my 2 slot. Why is this happening. I've tried switching slots on the 6 slot and still it does the same thing. Can someone please offer some advice.

How many carts do you have in the board when you tried this? 1 or 3+?

I hope you have a nice strong PSU if you are using a 6 slot, those things are vampires when it comes to amps.

What PSU are you using BTW?

Standard 5-12v PSU. I just tried Windjammers by itself and it still won't work. Do you like my ghetto ass setup. I play on one of those bootleg MGS cabs and my button layout is terrible. :crying:

Dude, Xian is right, you need a power supply that is over the 150 watt range, by the looks of the pic, you have a standard 100 to 110 watt power supply. How many watts is the one you have showing?

Is the windjammers the only one thats doing that?

my twinkle star sprites was doing that to me on an mv-1b.

pulled it out, put it back in, and it worked. no idea.

now my viewpoint is doing it. Arrghhh!!!!!

I have no idea how many watts the PSU is. It doesn't say how many anywhere on it. My viewpoint and windjammers are mint and worked flawlessly on my old 2 slot; so I don't think they are faulty. Also i've cleaned the contacts and tried each one several times in each of the 6 slots. So you guys think I need a stronger power supply?

I think someone said that for 6 slots they reccomend your 5v output to be at least 8A max output

Yea I'd go with a stronger power supply...It must be taking some kind of dip when those carts are selected.

I'd also try clearing the back-up ram memory...I dunnomsometimes it causes problem sand clearing it clears them up..

Even though you are not playing a game at the time, the cart will still draw power. Try taking out 2 games, then 3, then 4, etc to see if your troubled games behave better with less carts in the slots. If so, then that really points to a power issue.

That King of Fighters is also a bootleg, that can cause your mvs board to do strange things. Try it again with that game removed.

Probably it will solve your problems...

I agree with the Bootleg cart causing the problem 100%..I didn't note on it due to:

I just tried Windjammers by itself and it still won't work

i've cleaned the contacts and tried each one several times in each of the 6 slots.

.......
Now that boot might have caused some craziness in the boards memory data so I'd clear the back-up memory anyhow..

I don't know too much about the memory data etc..But I do know that boots can cause some really crazy problems.
