Adding the AES BIOS to your MVS PCB
Introduction
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4

This is another cool project. I had read where it was possible to add the AES BIOS to your MVS PCB so you could access some of the game features not available to MVS. It also gives you the ability to switch between English and Japanese, so you can play "Flying Power Disc" instead of "Windjammers". That's worth the price of admision alone!

As it turns out, Jeff Kurtz sells this as a kit with instructions on how to do it. You can order the BIOS with or without the wiring and the switches, I ordered mine without. This is a quick rundown on how the install went.
AES BIOS Kit If you order the kit without switches, this is what you get. A new BIOS chip and instructions.
