Why would there be messed up areas?KBneospy said:It causes the little flashy bits of video distortion to be tuned, say there are some messed up areas on the screen turn the knob and they go away.

Neo Alec said:Well, I mean, for people who own the converter, what does the knob adjust when you turn it?
Nash said:I don't know if that's just how it is or maybe I received a defective converter. Either way, the Phantom-1 appears to be technically superior since I've never had any problems with it at all (all of my games work on it on the first try). I hope it's just a defective converter. I'm trying to see if the Neo Store will allow me to exchange it for another one.

I've had different levels of success with it depending on what AES I use it with.
With an un-modded US AES (5V 3A power supply) SN # 020255 I had the following results:
Problem: The game loads, but resets the console shortly there after.
Affected Games:
Metal Slug 4
King of Fighters 2003
Crossed Swords
Problem: Very loud static in the audio, but otherwise fine.
Affected Games:
Metal Slug
Metal Slug X
Problem: Blue screen on power up. Never gets to title screen. Never resets.
Affected Games:
Metal Slug 3
The following games all played fine without any resets or garbled audio.
Samurai Showdown 1
Samurai Showdown 2
Art of Fighting 1
Art of Fighting 2
The Super Spy
The King of Fighers 94
3 Count Bout
Magician Lord
Fatal Fury 2
**HOWEVER** When I tried it with a modded JAP AES (5V 3A power supply) I bought from the neostore, the only problem carts I had were Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug 3, which showed the same behavior as on the other AES. All of my other MVS carts worked fine.
I'm sending my convertor back to the neostore to be replaced with a unit that has been proven to work with my problem carts. I'll report back my results when I recieve the replacement convertor.

zhulien said:I'm just about to order one of these MVS Converter IIs, but this thread makes me worry. I already have a Phantom-1 and with the exception of it being very hard to plug carts into and the lack of a case and the latest few games not being compatible, it is fine. I really wanted the MVS Converter II for the casing and ease of putting a cart into it. Why all the other problems?
KBneospy said:I recieved a replacement Convertor last week from ic2005 direct from the chinese factory, they made good on the return policy. It seems there were some issues with the first units, but I believe it has been corrected. The new unit has a blue LED instead of the red and was tested before it was sent out, it also now bears a manufacturing date sticker of may 2006. Every game I have tested works perfectly, here are the carts I have tested:
Metal Slug
Metal Slug X
Metal Slug 3
KoF 98
KoF 02
KoF 03
All tested with a late Japan model AES.

god damn it makes me happy as hell to know that my converter is one of the revised ones, thank god i waited until i did to order mine, i bet that the neo store probably hadn't even had the replacements in stock for more than maybe a day or two when i ordered mine (5-11-2006)KBneospy said:I recieved a replacement Convertor last week from ic2005 direct from the chinese factory, they made good on the return policy.

Tested all KoF games in 2 player including 2003 and worked perfectly.Xian Xi said:Have you tried KOF 2k3 during 2 player mode? 1 player mode never gave me problems with the P-1 but 2 player mode couldnt do anything.
