I recently got a 4 slot MVS, and when booting up it starts with the slot 2 cartridge. All slots are working and you can cycle through the games after booting up.

Can you set the initial boot slot on the official bios, or is this a sign of some other issue?

Is it really necessary for you to boot into slot 1 off the bat? As long as all 4 are working you should be good to go.

Nah it doesn't matter really, just more curious why this would happen, and want to make sure it isn't a sign of other issues.

Both 4 slot mobos I’ve owned have done this. I don’t think it’s a sign of any other issues.

It all depends on the game in slot 1. Games with the older jingle will always take priority over games with the newer progear spec jingle.

I feel like the boot order has always been 2-3-4-1.
