Hello all, I am just getting into the Neo Geo MVS. So far have been able to repair 4 defective MV-1C units that I picked up from eBay. The seller threw in 2 games with the purchase, "King of Fighters 2003" & "Blue's Journey". KOF2003 works great, however Blue's Journey does not have sound and there are some garbled graphics on the game menu and demo video.
I opened the cart and it was in rough shape, looks like someone went crazy with solder flux. The boards look original SNK but it does look like some of the ICs / ROMs have been changed. Also there appear to be empty positions on the board where there should possibly be SMD resistors and capacitors.
I cleaned up the flux, redid any cold solder joints, repaired a few broken traces, re-seated 2 of the "non-original" ROM ICs on the program board. Still no luck, looking for some advice or guidance. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
