Does anyone knows what can cause this error to appear in the first place? Friend of mine asked me to make him some TC4 hard drives to have new drives to use to repair a TC4 cabinet. But this is what appears on boot and this is the picture he sent me. I swear both the Namco PS2 based arcade...

Interesting. So games can crash if the monitor doesn't responds with the EDID request quickly enough. I'm guessing its that way so that if a game is left running but the monitor fails, it doesn't put unneeded strain on the GPU if the game can't be played

But now its booting up games reliably or some games are still crashing when you boot them up?

Oh shoot! Yeah you gotta use VGA, if the game and monitor supports it then its gonna run the HD version instead of VGA. But once the game's up and running you can absolutely use a DVI to HDMI cable to capture gameplay

Oh yeah the Crediar multi, i know exactly which thread you're talking about.

Maybe bad RAM? GPU not getting initialized properly? I know the Lindbergh i worked on from a Rambo refused to boot anything, telling me the JVS board was bad all the time. But swapping the Lindbergh completely fixed the issue once the owner went multi on it. But i would wager bad RAM honestly...

I messed with this but i cannot get Afterburner, Outrun or Rambo to boot. It builds without errors but when i try to launch a game i either see "object cannot be preloaded" or bash tells me it doesn't have the right permission so i try to run it with sudo and bash then complains that the...

Ringbergh? Wait Sega used RingEdge hardware with a special OS to allow the RingEdge to run Lindbergh games? If so that's definitely something that needs to be preserved.

If the battery wasn't working at all, leaving the cabinet off for a few hours would be enough to wipe the RAM content clean so that when you boot it back up, it has to reload the entire game. Hopefully fingers crossed, changing the RAM out will clear out the glitchiness you're experiencing

Some games are different. After Burner for example the throttle is half assed, you can speed up but you can't slow all the way down to try and avoid missiles that are behind you or enemy planes that stays behind you, which also means you cannot switch to the After Burner 2 soundtrack before a...

I think the Chihiro uses DDR RAM and i doubt any electronic shop carries those anymore. Your best bet for new RAM sticks would be eBay.

It could be the memory that's corrupting itself and causing the Chihiro to crash. Change the RAM on the board, Chihiro's have a battery to keep data sustained between power off's in the RAM. So if it takes a few days before you can reboot your board once it crashes, its almost certainly bad RAM...

My friend has two Daytona USA 2 cabinets. One of them has front and rear channel audio playing just fine. The one with proper sound output has music and pit crew coming from the rear channels and engine comes from the front channels. The one i want to help get proper sound output again has...

No problem. I do hope though that the Chihiro outputs a signal that a standard monitor will display. Me reading too quickly i thought you were dealing with a Lindbergh considering the extensive research i did last fall to help a friend revive his Rambo cabinet. But chances are the Xbox that the...

As you say it could be the fan on the GPU overheating but it could also be power to the monitor that's flaky. There's also the possibility that this is caused by failing caps on the monitor chassis which requires a monitor recap. Gotta keep in mind these monitors are over 20 years old and have...
