That is a terrible idea and unnecessary. A pcb (commercial grade) is rated to 160f MAX and isn't meant for prolonged periods. 4 hours in an oven is not only overkill but dangerous for the boards. Not to mention, most home ovens thermostats are not calibrated ever after installation so they could easily be 10 degrees off.

Just give the boards a good shake(in all directions) after you clean them to get out excess water and peek under the chips to make sure they're no pools. Then just let the thing air dry. Give it a day or two.

What the fuck are you talking about? FR-4's are rated to 140* Celsius and most PCB's are rated to 105* Celsius, which is 210* Fahrenheit. 150* in an oven for a couple hours won't do shit.

The answer is in front of you.

Put them in an indoor deep fryer.

 

[Tripredacus]

Had to be done. sorry

 

[Ren-chan]

hey Ren-chan, is that a boot? show us some more pics. Awesome game by the way

Dunno, whill check it today. I know it's not 'a good' Metal Slug. Always felt like playing a rushed game... but I wanted to get all for MVS eventually.
Was quite cheap so I don't mind if it's a boot.

Edit:
Also, Amazon just delivered this :3



Edit 2:
Ok, I'm at home... opened the Metal Slug 4 MVS to see if it is a boot or not... but I don't know how to detect it:

Surprisingly, that MS4 looks legit despite the replacement cart shell and label. Congrats on the good deal then.

Thanks a lot! On mine it also says "Mega enterprise" on every single chip. Was difficult to see on the photo.

That sums to the originality of the game. Maybe the shell and label are not original, but the importan part, the boards, are original.

Regards.

Some carts that arrived today

The Sengoku 2 cart certainly has been one of the hardest carts yet to find.

 

[dspoonrt]

Wow. Nice get on the Sengoku 2 cart. That must've cost a pretty penny.

Another delivery today from Amazon.

Doing a Turkey and Ham for Christmas.


Gonna be some good eats up in Pittmaster Yodd's house.

Let me know how it comes out dude. Saw one of those I think at Target and was wondering how well it works.

A good shake? Sounds like you never cleaned a PCB before.

Wow. Nice get on the Sengoku 2 cart. That must've cost a pretty penny.

I got both of them for 150 euro combined (including shipping) so I like to value TPG at around 20 euro and that way convince myself I've only payed 120 euro for the Sengoku 2 cart

On ebay, apart from one 30 euro listing in Greece (immediately snooped up) I have only seen sold for 150+ euro (the last year or so) so while I know it's not a terrific deal, I'm happy that at least now I can play it.

Just got back from the store:

Gonna start celebrating in style!

P.S. Sorry for the dirty table!!!

While out looking for last minute Christmas gifts last night I ran across this game and just had to pick it up.



Me and my roommate had been talking about picking this up recently after seeing a video about it online. So it was a pleasant surprise seeing it at the local comic book shop. The rules are easy to learn, and it's fun as hell. Played a few games last night and had a blast. It's going to be really awesome with 3 or 4 players.

I picked up a dead CPS2 US AVP board. Opened it up and you bet the battery is dead... But since my mail carrier misplaced my A board that was suppose to come, I can't even yet to begin the repairs for it

 

[Katsujinken]

Christmas gifts instead of purchases but I just opened Magician Lord for my AES and Xenoblade Chronicles for my Wii. Truly I know some very generous people for which I am grateful

Gratz on the Sengoku 2 cart. I couldn't get myself to pay that much for a game so i went for the CD version instead. There's few games i would pay that much for and one of them is MOTW.

Nice cart but a impossible find these days. Sengoku 2 is the last cart besides SSVS I need to finish my MVS collection.

Please explain why you can't shake a mvs game board.

 

[werejag]

no i think he is saying its not a simple shake. i usually fold up a towel or two and bang the pcb on its surfaces to get out the water. then a hair dryer to finish it off. moving the hot air around. probly 30 mins tops from wet to power applied.

My family's decided to have a late Christmas, but I decided to open a few gifts and this was one of them:

Time to get me some MVS carts.

I have the blue one, do you know if yours has new features/improvements over mine or is simply a different color? I know there were differences between the black one and blue (scaling issues eliminated AFAIK).

Thanks!!

Not sure as I actually don't have any MVS carts (yet).

Probably the best converter on the market. I have the blue one and have yet to have any problems with running original mvs carts.
