    I have an SVC Chaos MVS Cart that seems to have bad sound. I can run MVS Carts on my AES System with a converter, and while this one boots up fine (plays the Neo Geo Jingle), once the game starts the sound is just loud static. None of my other MVS carts do this. I've tried giving it a deep clean, but was wondering if there is anything else I could do to get this working?

    Hi All.

    I currently have a physical copy of D2K for the Intellevision, but I would really like to have a ROM to boot up on Emulators (since hooking up my system is kind of a pain with my current set up). I saw a few threads about a ROM you could buy, or donate for but all the links are dead. Also I read that if you do have a ROM if it, it has personal info encoded to it so you cant redistribute. I'm not interested in making it public, I want it for just me. Is there any way to go about getting a ROM? I understand if it's not possible.

    Real question here. Do you think that it's even remotely possible for the Retron 77 to read Homebrew Carts? I've heard it could possible be fixed with Firmware, but I know nothing about these kind of things. And Since I don't have ROMS of my homebrews, I was hoping there was even the smallest possibility.

    I managed to clear the "8CD-I" Message and got the menu to boot after it was left unplugged for an hour. Tried a game again and it instantly failed and did nothing like before. I only saw the "8CD-I" message once more after powering it on and off few times.

    These games I have are Burns obviously... maybe that had something to do with it. Also I noticed that the power cord that shipped with it was a 3 prong cord... and the System only needed a two prong, so perhaps it was a Power fault?

     

     

    Anyway, the dude on eBay was super cool about it and refunded me... I sent the unit back and am on the hunt for a working one. But I really don't know why....

    Hey all, I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this problem. I recently bought a Philips CDI 910 off of eBay. This system was pristine and was worked on. I got everything with it, and when I first booted it up, everything was fine.

    I was playing Hotel Mario (which was a freebie) and it was running great, then it freaked out and went to a black screen.

     

    Now When I turn it back on I get a message on the front LED display that says "8CD-I" and it does nothing. Won't even load the menu screen.

     

    Is my timekeeper chip at fault here? Anyone with experience with this unit please help me out... I really like this thing (I know its cheesy) and dont really want to send it back...

    Finally have an update.

    I just tried a Music CD and it starts playing fine on Track 1... then will sound choppy for a moment as it automatically skips to Track 3. I am not touching the system when this happens. Seems to skip to a random track if I select a higher one, but sooner or later, it will get choppy for a brief second before it skips.

     

    The CD I used its clean, and free of scratches ... so I guess I have to fix the VCO? (if I am reading that right)

     

    Also I never used Burned CD's on this system, only real ones. I had choppy audio before the caps were replaced, but never a skipping problem on the CD. Could the Drive of been misaligned when it was being fixed? Maybe the repair person did not put it back in right? I don't know.

    Can it play any random music CD just fine or does it cut out? If it plays just fine, there could be an issue somewhere that is screwing up the timing between game code and sound playback. If the music still cuts out, the CD drive needs to be checked. Usually a simple adjustment is all it needs.

     

    Oh yeah are you playing genuine game CD or a CD-R of burned games? Some burned games don't play well unfortunately.

    I will try a Music CD. Didn't think of that!!!

    I recently had my Caps replaced in my US TurboDuo System to fix the sound issues. Card based games work fine and dandy now with no crackle or missing sound, but the CD games are another story. The music will play for a small bit and then completely cut out. For example, Fighting Street will play the music and game sound for the first few seconds of the match, then all I hear is the game sound. Double Dragon 2 doesn't have in game sound and the music cuts out after a short time.

     

    I was wondering if this is my cable? One AV connection I used offered no sound at all on CD games, I changed connections and got the sound, but it's cutting out as described before. Both connections work with other consoles.

    Im not sure if it is my cable, or do I need to simply clean the CD laser?
