We can't link to it, but here's the whatsnew:

WHATS NEW IN VERSION 3.0

------------------------

 

Additions / Changes

 

PC-2-NEO

--------

- This new feature gives the ability to transfer data to and from a NeoGeo via a cable connected to a PC. It should be considered experimental at this point but can be accessed from the main unibios menu. See the universebios homepage for more information and how to build the needed cable.

 

- Added disable splash screen option back into general bios settings.

 

- If a game is not in the socket on AES hardware you will see a 'white' blank screen at power on. I changed this to save confusion over some people thinking the old blue color was the result of a hardware check. The Unibios does not do a hardware check in the same way, you must have a game in the socket and use the button code at power on.

 

- Changed the way region is set up on MVS hardware so there is more chance of a system with bad BackupRAM booting correctly.

 

- Made code changes to help stop unibios ASCII curruption when the system is overclocked (untested).

 

- Changed code so the NeoGeo spinning logo (older games only) draws correctly when a system is overclocked (untested).

 

- Button C is now used to exit the unibios main menu.

 

Fixes

 

- Fixed a problem that could cause some games to have glitches after swapping games on multislot hardware when in console mode.

 

- Fixed garbled music with Metal Slug 4 in the jukebox from power on.

 

Cheats / CRC Database

 

- New cheats added here and there.

- Fixed KOF96 boss cheat so numbers no longer appear above the power bars.

- Added another Real Bout Fatal Fury CRC.

- Added another Soccer Brawl CRC.

- Added another World Heroes CRC.

- Added another Ghost Pilots CRC.

- Added Nightmare in the Dark bootleg CRC.

- Fixed a CRC issue with Waku Waku 7.

This item needs to be purchased, but older versions (such as 2.3) are now free.
