MFA Secret
« on: 07 October 2006, 11:55 »
Hi all, long time no..ahem...well nothing.

I would have put this with the Sticky of similar subject but I think only moderators can reply to stickies?

Anyway, I seem to be having a problem with my MFA readouts. I've been into the secret menu screens to help diagnose the problem but the thing is that I don't know what the typical readings should be. Does anyone have these readouts?

Great to be back, thanks Jez

Not quite (but thanks anyway), what i'd like to know is what should the actual readouts display, in numbers? For example I get a reading of 450ish for the vacuum, is this normal?
