the mv-1c won't have problems with rage of the dragons, but you'll have to mod the board, if you'd like to use the uni-bios. it's also more expensive.

Another difference is that on the MV1C the cart goes vertically (like a megadrive) while in a MV1FZ goes horizontally.

Those are the most important differences. If used well they should be equal robust. About compatibility, maybe (still unconfirmed) ROTD would work better in a MV1C, and that's all.

The fact that HIS cart didn't work in HIS FZ doesn't necessarily mean that ALL carts don't work in ANY FZ, although it definately is a signal that it COULD not work. If you analyse the reports about compatibility with ROTD, you'll find that there have been contradictory ones.

i know, but it seems to be very likely, that it won't work. at least there's a lot of negative feedback.
edit : same goes for the 1F board. some guys said, that it works on their boards, but you just can't be 100% sure.

Yep, you can't never be 100% sure til you try it. In fact I've played the game in a MV1F with no prob at a friend's house, and the game works perfect in my MV1A. Yet you can't even be sure that it'll work in a multi-slot, as I think somebody reported problems in one of those too.
This game is like the Russian Roulette... loco

Well, ResOGlass said he had trouble with a 6 slot...

At the beginning it was thought that it only had trouble in certain 1-slots, but that has been proven wrong... annoyed
In any case, and to go back on topic, I would go for a MV1FZ, mostly because it should be cheaper and the unibios is a must. In fact, I prefer to have the carts inserted horizontally, that way it takes less room. And if ROTD doesn't work then bad luck, there are a ton of better games for even cheaper prices anyway.

RotD has *minor* probs in my 4 slot... like if you put it into slot 1 the MVS just skips past it when you turn on, although you can still get to it by pressing select a few times. Also, sometimes when you switch to it the sound goes off, but if you turn the MVS on/off it works fine. I know my cart is legit though, as it was bought from the Neostore, and it is the only game that ever has this problem.
The game always had the reset prob on my MV-1, and I lent the cart to Razoola for a while and he had the same problem with his MV-1F.

My ROTD (from the NeoStore) works fine in my 2 slot with original English bios. I haven't tried it yet with a second cart in the system, but it works great otherwise. Can't say I much like that cheeeeeze combo system though. Feels like I am playing Killer Instinct, but without the koll characters. RAHAHAHHAHA

Yeah, the actual game plays fine, it just has those very minor probs sometimes, although a few other people have told me the same thing has happened to them with other games, so maybe it's just an MVS issue?
Anyway (going off topic again for a sec), I should probably send you some pics of my consolized 4-slot for the sgrepository... after I've taken a few pics is it ok to email them over?
