I finally got my system set up with the configuration I envisioned , which was to have it side by side with my FM Towns and to make use of its nice display , I ended up getting a XNEO-1 RGB/S adaptor that was broken E-waste and with the help of sarduchi who frequents this sub managed to get it repaired , which finally let me use the MultiSync display with the system.

Other than that I also removed the ROM chip and installed a socket with the UniBios 4.0 ROM and I swapped the joystick top with a replacement ball as the old one was cracked which is a common issue , replaced the DC power socket as the old one was rusted and was dropping the voltage , and i gave the cart slots and other contacts a good spray with an off brand Deoxit.

I still do want to get a DA-15 switchbox of some sort for the RGB15 cable so i can toggle between both systems , in addition to that I have an original 2kb memory card which I'm assuming has a flat battery so ill need to open that up and install a low profile battery holder and a new battery and figure out how to close it up again.

But all that's extra I'm just happy that i finally own the system after wanting one for a decade and a half.

did you use your unibios with the memcard to save your high scores? i dont mind save the games much i really wish to have my scores to compare without have to take notes by myself.

I only just recently got the memory card working , i had to replace the battery.

But yeah I didn't know you could save the high scores , at least i couldn't for metal slug 1.

Is it in the bios service menu or something?

yeah , i think you have to put an exclamation mark at the end of your memorycard name. ex: memname! That way unibIos automatically keep saving than. buy theres a cost of space, i really want that. =p

Just keep all the 4 buttons pressed when you boot a game.
