Marvel vs. Capcom 2 naomi freeze issue

Post by OldFoo »

Hi there,



Bought an MvsC2 cart last week and, while all seemed to be good at first, this past few days it's been freezing after a few minutes play.



It's an Export version of the game which I'm playing on an Astro City cab using the Capcom I/O.



I've given the contacts a blitz with some contact cleaner (they were pretty filthy) but the problem is persisting.



Ran a ROM board check and all seems good except for IC16, which is showing '----' (see pic). Is that normal?



Any ideas? REALLY don't want the hassle of trying to send it back and really want the game to work :(



Only other thing to note is that the 'experience' points counter doesn't seem to go up, but I don't know whether that is because I'm not completing the game each time?

Very good chance your not supplying enough power through the Capcom I/O.

It was totally the voltage. Was only sending about 4.6V through the I/O.



All working fine now.



Thanks so much.



RELIEF.
