How to Net-boot NAOMI/Tri-Force/Chihiro Using Pi-Force Tools

I use that image too, very awesome.

Please note that it is written for a specific LCD and Touchscreen driver. If you are using different hardware (which you are) you will need to manually configure these drivers yourself.
 
I'll happily get the correct screen, thank you for the link. Any model in particular besides the one suggested or will any do as long as it's within the dimensions?

I'm a complete scrub with linux and compiling on windows so I don't think I'll be modding any drivers anytime soon. I only have the skills to work with pre-built images.

Easiest way is to use the exact LCD module used by the author of that image. It's available on Amazon.

It's very nice. Includes a plastic enclosure to neatly house the Rpi and screen. Software image works straight out of the box.

That's the Amazon link for the screen. I'm in Australia so it's an Australian link, you'll need to find it yourself on your version of Amazon.

Another option, use the mobile phone version. That also works extremely well and is very easy to setup.

I personally like using the mobile phone version.. I find it quite easy.

I tuck the pi inside the cab and don't even have to touch it.
 
I tried piforce web and this is what I got

Why are you connecting an HDMI monitor to the Pi? Is that what that picture you posted is showing, the console output of the Pi displayed on an HDMI monitor that your Pi is connected to?

The web version is just that, it transmits wifi from the Pi, you connect to this wifi network via your mobile phone, and use a web browser to see the and operate netboot GUI.
 
I have a Pi4 that I’m not currently using.

Has anyone confirmed that the piforce, pidimboot works with the Pi4?

I can't think of a reason it wouldn't. I've run images I've built for Pi3 on a Pi4 and I don't think they're all that different, architecture-wise.

I loaded piforce web, waited for everything to load, connected via WiFi and got no redirect. Hooking up HDMI to the pi showed that output. CRDA calls exceeded.
 
I've had the opposite experience re Pi4. It is vastly different and a lot of software written for the Pi3 doesn't translate across to the Pi4.

100% the same experience, Pi 2/3 are basically interchangeable, Pi 4 isn't.

I need some direct guidance, the many branches and versions of PiForce are far too confusing to me.

I have a pi3b
I have a PiTFT Plus 2.8" LCD
Naomi 2 is fw4.02 and is set to 192.168.1.2 /24

I would like to have pictures and/or videos of the games and then select them using the screen. Is there a specific build I should be looking for or is the version provided here a one-size-fits-all?

This is the one you need: https://gitlab.com/ezechiel/pidimboot
I use it as well and it's awesome.

Does this version support/work with the relay reset mod?? I have a friend that Im setting up a N2 for and would like to run this touch screen image.

I didn't see any GPIO references when I was looking through the code. I'm leaning towards no, but there's always a chance I missed it. It should be a pretty trivial addition however.
 
somone mentioned that I can run the Netdimm without a security pic? Apparently all I have to do is resend the keepalive packet periodically.
They gave me the file to modify the pi but I don't know what to do with it.

I have a security pic in the mail (ordered may 28th from Spain, still in transit - ridiculous) but if I can run the dimm without it that would be preferable.

Here is the info I was given.

I love my OG Piforce setup, only thing I never figured out... A script to automatically load a predefined game after an adjustable period of inactivity.

I hate having to open my cab when most of the time I just play CvS2. :D

I was never able to get this to work - I had to use the security zero PIC.
