Basic MVS functioning is what the stock bios does. If you want to enhance your MVS experience then get the Unibios. And now days the mod on the previously hardcore soldering mobos are now only 2 wires to solder with a NeoBiosMasta.

Hey Raz, quick request that I keep forgetting to ask. There are a few games that don't work with Free Play mode on an MVS. King of the Monsters gets stuck on compulsion and is completely broken, but others won't let you choose options, like Thrash Rally and Riding Hero, if you're in Free Play. Would it be possible for the UNI to fix these problems, or is that changing basic functionality too much?
Games affected:
1. King of the Monsters - Stuck in compulsion, will not advance past start screen, will not cycle to other games during Free Play mode
2. Thrash Rally - Can only play the standard game, as the select screen for the World Rally or Paris Dakar race only shows when a credit is inserted
3. Riding Hero - Can only play GP mode, as choice for story mode is only displayed when a credit is inserted
Obviously King of the Monsters is the only game broken by Free Play, but it would be nice to have the others fully functional if it isn't too much work.

Hehe, 3.1 was only released 14 days ago.
I like the idea of an autofire option too, but let's break-in 3.1 first.

A year and fourteen days ago, actually. You've been sleeping. We've had 3.1 for a nice long while now.

Yeah. That's what I figured. Would be great if KotM could be fixed, but I realize that's a long shot at best.

BACKUP RAM ERROR
Can anybody please help me with the following backup ram error (see picture)? It shows up on a brand new CMVS from analogue interactive (MV1C board with memory card upgrade and uni bios 3.1 installed). I have already tried to set the bios to default (A+C+down at crosshatch screen) and cleared the backup ram, but nothing helps. Thank you!

Does anyone know if there is a VIDEO of anyone doing an install of the Unibios in an AES? I am not very good with diagrams, i prefer a video......i may just pay someone to install it for me, but a video would be nice......

You just locate the bios, desolder it and remove it. Then install a socket and put the Unibios in. But to me a noob shouldn't be messing with a bios install as it's not as easy as it seems for the desoldering as you can easily rip a bunch of traces out if not desoldered properly.

Just like Xian Xi said, this is not a mod for beginners. However if you are determined to do it and are new to modding please go with this method http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/snk-neo-geo-aes-unibios-install/. It does not look pretty but I have done it myself before and it works very well. Do not try to remove the BIOS via desoldering unless you are a champ at it.

The first mod I ever tried to do was a Debug Bios install on a home cart system like 12 years ago when I had never even used a soldering iron before, much less a desoldering iron. Bad idea. Thank god Jeff took pity on my soul and saved me from my own foolishness.
Many moons later, it's a piece of cake...

Totally awesome work! V3.1 is fantastic and the best buy anyone can make for an MVS or AES.
Quick question - presumably the CRC checker only operates on the P ROMS?
It's annoying not knowing whether V or C ROMS might be incorrect. Is it possible to CRC check those in a future version?

Maybe this is not the most appropiate thread for my question so apologies for the inconvinience, but I would like to know if I can burn the Neo-Diagnostics-ROMs in the old BIOS chip. I have it replaced with the UNIBIOS and I´ve been thinking that it could be a good idea doing so.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.
