What I/O are you using? I was able to navigate the test menu just fine using both my original Namco FCA pcb and the NA-JV2 I/O

after trying it in a Tekken 5 cab and still didn't allow me to do anything in the service menu, I figured it out, by reading the manual ! shocker!
Your normally have a test and service switch ... but RRV also has an select button AND a up/Down button! will try and rig that up

Does this eliminate FF? What about intermittent in-game ERROR 7 for those of us still running the dedicated arcade cabinet on route? :)

ERROR 7 pops up even when It's not pots, bad wiring, bad psu, bad motor, bad motor board, or bad 246A.

Do you know when this error pops up? Like around specific hour? I did run RRV for at least 2 hours and it ran just fine

The error occurs when the pot sends a value to the logic which it does not anticipate. Much like how a triforce with reset if you send it a pot signal from steering it does not allow (full 360 motion for example). New pots did not address it. Usually only when kids (99% of the people who play it) are too aggressive with the wheel does it pop up. It's at a non-supervised location right now and I've just sold the machine to a friend who runs a freeplay supervised arcade so he'll be able to power cycle it or w/e it needs should that error pop up in the future, instead of it being out of service for a full day because of error 7.

Namco does this with a lot of their racing games which have force feedback and it is a total pain for street operators like myself. Dependability is king. Another great example is Mario Kart GP.
 
Hmm, I don’t have a full setup to see if this happens but maybe @Mrhide can test this out? To my understanding, the patch completely removes all checks related to the FFB board

Check this out!

Here's something that some of you might need to know if you have the FFB Board for the game :

  1. Setting the dip switch 4 on will seem to bypass some stuff if you’re using the patch, however, turning it off (default) will give you MONITOR ERROR 10.
  2. If you are planning on using the patch and the original setup, then you will have to flip dip 4 to the on position on the FFB board.

    Here's an image for reference :

    Thanks to @Franco23444 for the image and this info!

If I use a 246B host, will this setup still work?
