what do the 8 dip switches on my MVS board do?

the binary c0de · Aug 22, 2003

I've got a 4-slot MVS board and I know that switch 7 is free play, but what are the others for? Do any enable pause? I heard that somewhere. Thanks in advance for any replies.

PS: I used the search feature and found a thread, but the answer was in a dead link.

switch one accesses the soft/hard dips menu, two through six i have no idea, 7 is free play, and eight is pause.

thanks, now does anyone know what 2-6 do?

2-6 are for link games, if you change them, you'll likely experience messed up controls.

rock brah, buttrock thanks for the help guys.

BTW if switch 8 is pause does it mean that if you want to make a pause you have to crawl inside your cab. and switch it in the middle of the game? tough isn't it?

Or is it just that you can add a switch directly on the cab. and press it to pause when #8 is activated.

you can wire a switch to the 2 solder points of dip 8 (not 7) and attach that near the front to pause the game.

That's neat I'll have to look into that!

2-6 aren't specially designated just for link games. They often access hidden characters and other various debugging features.

What games use this? My MVS will be rockin' with Krizalid and Rugal, I hope.

The debug dips ARE the mvs dipswitches. If you add a second dipswitch the open area on your motherboard marked "dipswitch2" you can access everything the debug settings can do.

WOAH! I gotta get me an 8 dip bank in that case.

Why doesn't everyone have a UniBios by now?, cheapskates.

Definitely! After it's installed, you can access Krizalid by flipping dipswitch Dips 1-3 and 2-3 on at the 'How to Play Screen'. Once you're on the player select screen, Highlight either K' or Maxima, Press and Hold Start and then press any button to get version 1 of Krizalid or press and hold select then press any button to play as version 2. Once you have selected him, Turn the Dips off and resume normal play.

kernow · Aug 23, 2003

so you've got to add a whole dipswitch bank to the board?

instead of purchasing a uni-bios?

seems like a bit of effort to me.

Kernow makes a point, though. As cool as it is to flip hard dips I don't trust my soldering skills enough to add those dips. I need a uniBIOS, soon...

But it's so much more manly when you manually use the onboard dipswitches
