I was about to say, I've got no problems with REAL games in my four slot so far, so I don't see why it would make any difference how many slots it is. But then again, what do I know. :p

Now why would that be?? Did you try all four slots? That makes no sense. Someone explain!

I've had problems with certain combinations of games on my 4 slot...usually solved by changing the order. Specifically, in attract mode after cycling through 4 games, after the neo-geo splash screen sometimes the sound doesn't re-initialize. Once with it set to "no sound in attract mode" i got a z-80 error. Could be random or it could be a deeper issue... go figure <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

These types of problems are interesting, since !Arcade! has chosen the 4-slot for their new hardware project.

If you have trouble running any games on your 4-slot you might want to try cleaning out your slots or making sure the cart is secure.

I had trouble with a Bust A Move cart once (no sound) but after cleaning it and making sure it was inserted fully, I had no problems. The Bust A Move cart also looked like it was repaired at some point because one of the mem chips wasn't original, that might have been adding to my problems or the source of it.

I really doubt that 4-slots can't play certain games, as it doesn't make any sense on SNK's part.

Yep Pro Gear, mine will do similar things... I posted a long time ago about some carts not being compatible with each other... most notable is Cross Swords and Nam. If you put them both in a multislot one or the other will show up but not both. Put them in with other games and they work fine. Also, the sound issues you have seen, I get those only on my 4 slot... I bet it has something to do with swapping games because it never happened on my older two slot board. To tell you the truth a lot can be happening. Overtime, if a game was not coded right, garbage could be written to the registers. And if it didn't handle multislots, it may never get initialized fully until you shut off the machine... I belive PI2 is a culprit of that. By itself no problems, but with other games and the attract sounds on it bombs out the sound driver. Oh well,

As for the original question there is no reason a game would not work on a 4 slot board... however, it may give you trouble with certain games... Older games really seem to be the issue here though, all newer or atleast modern and newer games seem to run flawlessly on my board together. Hehe and what is with KOTM in freeplay mode... that is just plain stupid!!! It is not compatible with multislots and sits on the press start screen ignoring all other games,

You're definetely right about PI2...I had so much trouble with that game installed, I thought my 4-slot was going bad. Changing the game to another slot and restarting usually fixed it.
