This is another
cool project. I had read where it was possible to add the AES BIOS
to your MVS PCB so you could access some of the game features not
available to MVS. It also gives you the ability to switch between
English and Japanese, so you can play "Flying Power Disc"
instead of "Windjammers". That's worth the price of admision
alone!
As it turns
out, Jeff
Kurtz sells this as a kit
with instructions on how to do it. You can order the BIOS with or
without the wiring and the switches, I ordered mine without. This
is a quick rundown on how the install went.
If
you order the kit without switches, this is what you get. A new BIOS
chip and instructions.
You will also
need:
Soldering iron
Solder
18
Gauge Wire, black and two other colors. You will need approximately
2 feet of each color.
Two
Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switches. Make sure they are not momentary
switches.
Wire
strippers / cutters
Philips
head screwdriver
And
optionally, crimpers if you want to do the Molex disconnect as well
as teh molex connector and pins of your choice.
