I just don't have the space to add lots of features like in neogeoland.
How feasible is adding the NeoGeoLand menu to the cartridge program itself?

I just don't have the space to add lots of features like in neogeoland. While the things you suggest are all very easy to do, I really don't have the space. If I add this into the next unibios it will only work one way so I need to try and work out what the best way would be and what games to add or not (so is a SVC hack better than no SVC in the list at all?. You will always be able to play all the games by the standard 161in1 menu if you want.
Yes the SVC hack is definitely better than no SVC at all. I'd say it's the one hack that should be left included IMO.
+1
Would there be any chance of a bios just for the 161 to tailor features?

Another quick question for those with a 161in1. Is it normal to see the unibios exception handling screen when you choose the game puzzle bobble 2? Then once you choose the reset option the game starts normally?
I did a little more work on it earlier today.... Now instead of simply moving to the next game in the attract mode cycle it will randomly choose a game instead. This makes it a little more intresting when left in attract mode.
While I still don't know enough about where the softdips are physically stored on the cart I have now got this so it loads the softdip settings from the cart. This means if you have stored new softDIP settings with your 161in1, my UI hack will now also use them. The only downside is this means you have to spend some time saving your updated softdips using the standard 161in1 menu.. That means.
1) boot system to the normal 161in1 gamelist menu.
2) choose a game you want to edit dips for.
3) once it boots press testmode and edit dips.
4) exit out of test mode using the menu (do not reboot neogeo)
5) hold start until the 161in1 menu comes back.
6) goto (2) and choose a new game.
The softdips get saved to the cart between step 5 and 6.
If for some reason the carts softdips get messed up and you want to default them, the following will work (you need unibios). On step 3 when in test mode, go into the hardware test and cycle to the backupRAM clear option, then press ABC. Then cycle to the crosshatch screen and press B. Once system reboots you can either hold start and procede to option 6 to save the default softDIPs or goto option 3 and set new softDIPs first.
No, this is not normal. I just tried it with my 161-in-1 and it boots directly to the parental advisory screen.
What version of the universebios are you using when you test that?
Ok, can you please do the followinf for me.... get to the 161in1 game list. hold coint+start or start+abc to bring up the ingame menu (it will be sorrupted but its still usable). not move down and hilight softreboot. then move right and when you see the memory viewer press A. Now scroll untill address 0F0040 is in the top left (you can hold down buttons A, B or D to speed scroll). Once your there can you please take a photo and post it here.
This will be quite helpfull for me.

Glad I could help. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Hey Raz, I had to upload a video instead of a pic. You will see the reason why when you watch it. Single pic would not tell the entire story.
