Looking for a MVS memory card board (MV-IC)

[Mishran]

I know it's a long shot, but figured I'd toss it out there in case anyone can offer some assistance.

Needs to include both ribbon cables and the headphone wire.

If anyone has one for sale or know where I might procure one, please let me know.

Thanks.

So these are hard to come by?

[Mishran]

I have yet to find one on eBay or in the wild, so I guess so.

I've got one that's not seeing any use, but we've already chatted :/.

I have noticed them by me...the leftovers from crushed cabs    They will be untested, so I don't know if that's
worth a gamble.

Yeah, getting them from an old cab seems to be the easiest way.

I have a guy that has a shop fairly close by and has several Neo cabs that are missing the system boards. a$$hole won't part the memory card board from any of the cabs for me. Yet he will sell a four slot cab with a bad system board, MV-IC, but no monitor for $125. Dickhead...

You should buy one, toss the board up for $99 on eBay untested, call it a day.  Most of the ones up for $99 are labeled "as-is" and "untested".

[Mishran]

Well that is the thing. It's NOT tested. Even the card reader is untested, so I could end up without one still. If there was a way to check first, I might go for it because the cab is in nice shape. The usual light dings and scrapes from arcade use.

Do the 1-slots not have mv-ic compatibility?  If they do just bring along your own.

That's a pretty a$$hole thing to do.

Everyone that buys pcbs on Ebay knows "untested" means it's f*cking bjorked.

The guy may say they don't work, but if he's got gutted machines sitting all around, what're the chances he actually knows which work and which don't?  He doesn't know if it's broken or not if there's no monitor to test with.

I'm not willing to chance it not working. If I buy one, it has to be known/tested and working. Seems like every time I try to play a damn game, something comes up and I have to stop. Would just be nice to continue from where I left off. I'm considering just hunting down a working 2 slot since they have a built in card reader. Be so much easier, and I can just wire up a cart switcher button from the board to somewhere on the cab. Even if the switch is behind the coins slot door.

Are there any games that actually support that?  I mean real-time saving?
