MD2 VA3 USA board

Open RigoHoward opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

Hello, first of all this modification its awesome so many props for this!!

Im interested to modify my MD2 VA3 NTSC console with it, but i see there isnt an specific diagram for it.

Here are some.pictures of the board for reference

I see some coincidences with the MD2 diagram on the wiki, but the cutting points it seems there are not the same.

Thank you again in advance and im hoping that the mod would be possible on my console :)

Well, there's not much I can say without having the boards in my hands. If you have a multimeter you can poke around a bit. Maybe @chulpanovich can help?

Hello. I have had experience with successful installation in VA3. But I need a little time to find my notes.

@chulpanovich do i need to desolder the reset button and lift the legs still?

@chulpanovich do i need to desolder the reset button and lift the legs still? In your case, you do not need to unsolder the button and raise your legs if you cut off the track.
