bought one for my 4 slot just now- had to do it.............whats this strange feeling....? excitement :scratch:

...hmmm

xiao_haozi · Feb 7, 2009

FOMOCO&CO...
Just got my 3.0 and put in a 4 slot.... for me was just pop out the board from the cab, unscrew the two boards and open up, pry out old chip, put in new chip, and voila....works awesome!!! Took about 15min to get it all done if you subtract out any cleaning time you put in....I decided it was a good opportunity to clean up the cab and boards etc.

FOMOCO&CO · Feb 8, 2009

i hear you I just did a bios swap from a soundless board with the board in one of my cabs that had a bios that only showed the credits on one side and have a few other small diffs..anyway, .since that was so easy I figured I'd finally bite it and get the 3.0...

xiao_haozi · Feb 8, 2009

Yeah.... I've been digging juke box mode!!

Syn · Feb 8, 2009

Even if you don't use the cheats, the soft reset ROCKS or the ability to pause, easy access to the dip settings. The unibios is AWESOME :buttrock:

xiao_haozi · Feb 8, 2009

Yeah agreed! Pause is great.... haven't gotten my to dim the screen though yet.

One day I hope these bios become aviable for a cd unit. Would love english with blood.

There are codes for some games to enable blood on a US Neo CD system. I know SSIV has one for sure. It's something like "hit ABCD at the same time with exit selected in the options menu". I'd hope that most every censored game would have a code to enable all the good stuff.

Neo Alec · Feb 20, 2009

On later fighting games like SSIV, the solution is to get a language switch, play in Japanese mode and change to English in the options menu.

Hey guys, sorry if this has been answered but I'm wondering if the Universal Bios will allow me to do a common (shared) coin slot in Arcade mode. I noticed I was able to do this in emulators but I never found a dipswitch that would allow this on my MVS.

I know about the "hold 2P start" while inserting a coin thing, but that won't do--I really need the common coin slot if possible.

Razoola · Feb 28, 2009

what do you mean by common? If the bios is set to Euro or Japan region then there is only one coin counter which acts for 1up and 2up if this is what you mean?

Ah-ha, that is what I mean! I had no idea that was tied to the region. Sounds like I can just change the region to Euro with the UNIBIOS and be set then.

Thanks, my order has already been placed.

What does 'arcade protect' do?

I am still on unibios 1.3 as I don't need any of the new features, at least I don't think so, apart from bug fixes is there anything I'm missing that would benefit me?

Have you tried flipping dip switch number 3 on the board? That should let you switch between number of coin slots.

Razoola · Feb 28, 2009

Arcade protect stops one from entering the unibios menu (where you change region and such) unless the test mode button or hard dip 1 is also set. Basically it means you can lockout the unibios and ingame menu etc unless you have access inside the cab.

kernow · Feb 28, 2009

Syn · Feb 28, 2009

Yes it is an excellent feature.

My dumbass had to ask how to disable arcade protect once enabled. If I wouldn't of had access to the forum to ask (thanks again Razoola) I would have been stuck.
