Hey all,
I got my modded converter back from David yesterday and it works AWESOME. So glad to have sound out of both speakers.
I didn't have a whole lot of time to try stuff out yesterday, but I fired up my 161-in-1 cart and played
Last Blade 2
Captain Tomaday
Kizuna Encounter
Magical Drop 3
Bust A Move
KOF 2003
SNK Vs Capcom Plus (boss hack)
(alas, I forgot to try Super Dodge Ball)
Using the original debug bios, I was able to switch region and Home/MVS options with no probs. The option to hold start on the 1p controller to go back to the menu doesn't work, but it doesn't seem to work with any converter from what I've been reading, so no biggie. I have to get up and turn the Neo off and back on every time I wanna change games, just like our forefathers intended. At least I won't be one of those people complaining about how the multicart is "too convenient" (whatever that means) cos "it's so easy to switch games that you don't fully appreciate them". I assure you, I'm gonna fully appreciate the crap out of something before I get my lazy ass up off the couch. I find myself "fully appreciating" my cup of cold coffee quite often.
So yeah, David did a great job. Despite the occasional naysayer, he did exactly what he claimed to be able to do (and kept up great communication with me, sending and answering multiple PMs a day when there was something to talk about). I have a feeling he will continue to do things previously thought impossible for a long time to come. He's a great new member of the community.
(TL;DR version, "DavidG's the fuckin' man, yo!")
The only problem I have is that now all my games play in Canadian.
Damn you David!!! ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
