AV7000 compatability
AV7000 compatability
Does the Sigma AV7000 support MVS boards? Does it have a button to switch between games on a multi slot board. Thanks

I read the translation (horrible BTW) I quess you can use a 1 slot MVS by switching the audio to stereo. But what about multi slot? Is there a game select switch? I thinking of purchasing one but i need full MVS support

Sorry, I should have been a little clearer earlier, but I was supposed to be at work 
1-Slots use Jamma wiring, not MVS, so you can use it just like any other Jamma board on a Sigma. (All 1-Slots are mono btw unless you use the separate stereo connector on the bigger MV-1 & MV-1F boards).
To run a multi-slot you would need to make another loom (the thing with the red and black wires) just for the MVS board as it's slightly different to Jamma.
If you look at the picture in the link you posted you can see the Jamma loom he is using has a little button soldered too it at the board end - this is a test button. You would have to add another button in the same way to your MVS loom to switch games.
Hope that makes sense.

SharkSkin-Man summed it up nicely. In the Japanese link, he uses standard stuff you can buy in Akihabara. Neo Geo Mobo, carts, Sigma7000, plus a standard harness (what you people call a loom). But it appears that Neo Geo multi boards aren't Jamma, so you need to either make a new one, or make a Kick Harness to handle the different pin out.

Its only a difference in audio pinout and test switch (applys to mult slot boards only, 1 slots are standard jamma) on M (solder side). Sigma was to damn lazy to incorporate an important function IMO.
The gun i had before did it all except suck you off. Now im kicking myself in the ass. I though replacing something like this would be easy, guess again.
