I do most of my work on 5v first gen neo systems so I never knew about this issue until now. On all 9v or higher NeoGeo home systems Metal Slug X with all converters will not boot. Some will show a blue screen, others will show a black screen with a flashing white line.
This fix will work for all converters including the SMVS2. I'm using SNKorSWM's Phantom-1 for this post.
Flip the Phantom-1 over to the side without the arrow and remove all 6 screws.
Next flip the board over and get a wire long enough to connect both board but not too long that it hangs out after. Solder one end to the program board B35 on the MVS side as seen below.
Next on the gfx board find A29 and remove the solder mask, apply some solder and clean. Once done you can run the wire around the ring of glue between the stand off and connect it. Once done put the converter back together and play.
For SMVS2 the mod is exactly the same. For Pranslation users you can do this mod on the gfx board, just run a wire from A29 to the top program board connector (no need to run a wire between boards).
