I have an MVS 2-slot cabinet and don't want to mess with the video connections. I shall back out to let @Charlie Cat get it. Ok, I’m sorry I was painting our house as were prepping for sale and had seen that video that educated me prior and quickly passed it on. Sorry I wasn’t in a position to better help at the time, figured that would be easier to understand than a quick post from me Edited August 7, 2023 by Cobra Strike Down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Video connections? The badly setup design of the 138 has an obnoxious daughter board and won't play nice naturally on multi-slot systems. The DIP switch let's you remove the daughterboard from the 138 and use the switches to manually select the game you want before turning on the machine. Annoying? Yes, but at least it's an option, and may make one more likely to stick with a game than jump all over the place too. Since I keep my arcade cabinet in my room on freeplay for just me and the kid, I don't have the CPO latched down. It would be fairly easy to keep a print out of the switch settings and just tip the sticks back and pick another title with the power off.

ColecoGamer Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 What does the dip-switch do? It sounds like it works with the 138 -in- 1 MVS cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 @thanatos Ah yeah if you want to hook it up to other stuff, or if you're using a single slot that is useful as that's where they foolishly stored the main menu among other bits that aren't the actual games.@ColecoGamer Yes, you attach that to the cable coming off the actual 138 primary cart, it allows you without the daughter board to pick which game you want to boot up. You flip the dipswitches using a key that's given, and pick which title you want, turn the system on after setting it, and it boots to just that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Strike Down Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Unfortunately, this was apparently a forgotten listing. My order was just cancelled. There is no stock left, unfortunately... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'll shove the part inside of my 2 slot with my original bios chip (unibios4 installed) and if I ever come across one of them, at least if it's not someone playing some extortion pricing, I'll be ready. I'll just have to create a search for it on a couple places where they rarely still do pop up. Thanks for trying though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 If you’re getting the MVS version, please put me down for one of those 138-in-1 cartridges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone, bad listing, also the dipswitch seller (only on ebay) ran out too and that got canceled as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
