Arcade Machine
SNK-MVS6 Manual for Unit
General Notes
Changing games
To get a new cartridge working insert it all the way and then pull it out very slightly.
Language
The machine itself is in a combination of English and Japanese. The first screen that you get to when you boot into service mode is in Japanese which corresponds to the English manual but after you go past that point excluding the hardware test screen the rest of the options are in Japanese.
Features supported by board but not cabinet
The EL board would appear to be a way of Illuminating the currently selected game on a poster showing the six available games. Also LED1 and LED2 are outputs that are used to show the number of credits held by player1 and player2. These could both be implemented relatively easily at some point in the future.
Menus
Use joystick and A to navigate. Use B to return (except for hardware test).

Soft dips
March 2011. The machine had boards around it and a don't touch sign for a while. It is rumoured that the machine is 'only very unreliable' and will work with some fiddling. Anyone know more? Diagnosis of why it's unreliable? Policy on people fiddling to get it work?
