How do I clear the back up memory on a MVS Board?
Flip all dip switches to on and then power on the board. You will see "Work Ram Test" or something like that on the screen. Let this sit for a minute or so, then turn off the machine and return all dips to normal settings... all memory clear!KaedesBlade:

I thought Nightmare Tony mentioned once that didn't always clear out all data, and the best way to do it was from the dip switches... but I could be totally off here... anyone remember? I believe he said that would clear all game data, but not really "all" data,Razoola:
You can also do it by going into test mode then the hardware test. Flip through the screens until you get to one says A+B+C to clear backup ram. Simply press A+B+C at that point.

It does actually clear out all the data but once cleared it then writes back the default settings and backup memory header.nruva:
