Hey folks,
I recently got an MS4 cart that was sold as working 100%. I am having an unusual sound issue: the sample sounds will often repeat, e.g. "Thank You!" repeated several times when rescuing a prisoner. Also, it seems like the music track will sometimes change abruptly. Finally, the audio will usually cut out completely after a few minutes not in the same place every time. I have two other MS carts that run fine.
I suspect dirty contacts or slot, but alcohol + q-tips on the cart don't seem to change it. The next step is to spray some contact cleaner into the slot as I have seen graphics issues with other carts that seemed to go away after cleaning the cart contacts, but maybe that is not enough here. Still need to buy the spray, though.
Does this seem like a dirty contacts / slot issue, or something else?
Note that this is with an MV-1 (original BIOS), which I know has compatibility issues with multicarts, but AFAIK should be OK with legit carts.
Vaguely similar to this (e.g. sound cutting out), may be related: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?103425-Metal-slug-4-MV-1F-sound-problem
