Ok things get frustrating when ... after a couple of weeks of not playing any NG due to work/family etc....I go into my games room, fire up my CMVS and something pops up :/ (not in a good way)
So basically, few years back I consolized my 1slot FZ board, I have basic (VERY BASIC) electronic and soldering skills but thanks to this forum, Xian Xi`s site (JammaNationX) and a couple of helpful chaps I managed to do it, all worked fine, then I noticed I need a UniBios to get things running as intended and got one off Razoola its on 3.0 or 3.1 atm
Now my problem is, when I swtich on my MVS, if there is no cart inserted I just get a white blank screen, if there is the 161 in 1 cart it just loads up normally, but goes into default as "AES" and "Europe".
The Xhatch should pop up, if no cart is inserted, and tbh I don`t know if there is something wrong with the board or my wiring so I did not try any legit MVS carts so as to avoid damage (i`d rather damage the 161 in 1 tbh).
I am pretty sure, from my little exp that if I remove the Unibios and plug in a standard bios chip some error will pop up. (I cannot try it as I dont have the original bios )
Also finally the dip switches (there are 7 or 8 on the left side when the console is facing cart inserts towards person) I noticed that the 1st and 2nd switches are "loose" as in they don`t click and lock properly in place, they do move, but I have no idea if they are actually making a change or not.
Any hints of where I should start?
(p.s. otherwise I can play all night long, everything works fine, just can`t set region or mvs/aes and therefore I know somerthing is wrong, and w/o cart inserted nothing pops up just a white screen!)
