Hi,
I was previously looking at converting my twin Battle Gear 3 driver into a MAME box, but now I think I want to restore it to its original state.
At the moment, the cab doesn't work. I have 3 System246 boards. 1x Type A, and 2 x Type C. I have 2 dongles and 2 HDDs. This cab doesn't use DVD-ROMs.
The current state is that I get 2 black screens, regardless of which of the 2 246 boards I try, and which of the dongle/HDD combinations I use.
I'm looking for help in diagnosing what could be the problem here.
From what I know, the 246 should load up with either a security siren, or chimes if everything is good. At the moment, there's no sound. I did, in the past, get the security squawk, the chimes, and even had the game boot once, but since then I haven't been able to squeeze any life out of it, with or without the dongles/HDDs connected.
Yesterday I did some work on the cab. I replaced all 3 of the CR032 coin batteries on the motherboards, and checked the +5V and +12V (at least on Player 2) and they were spot on.
The HDDs dont seem to be spinning up (or maybe they are and they're just quiet) but there is power going to the boards, as the fans are spinning.
I'm currently trawling the internet trying to find information on what to do next, but I'm not having any luck.
Does anyone have any expertise here that may help me?
Thanks.
