Buster Max problem to get chips in MBNT1

[Bruno Mastra]

When I am going to fight V3 bosses to get chips L2 and L3 (the third and randon boss encounter), when I use buster max I only get money (2000z normaly) But when I dont use I get boss chip L2 (rank 8 or 9) or boss chip L3 (rank 10 or S). Did anyone notice that?

The first game just has awful RNG for chip drops, it's nothing new. You're looking at like a 50/50 for any chip drops from an S-rank. iirc.

The chip drop rates are just ass in that game. I had to S-rank elecman 8 or so times to get the v3 chip because it kept giving me money

MMBN3 isn't any better. S ranked Desertman 6 times and got 2k zenny each time. Finally gave up on v3 of his chip.

By the way, there's a program that outright forces chips to drop. (If it's an enemy that can't drop chips, there's actually a special "no data" image that only appears in that situation to represent the complete lack of drops. You'll still get a chip if your busting level was too low for it to drop normally though!)

EDIT: This doesn't apply to the first game, it was in response to this:
