    Netbooting a Chihiro Type1 (I think) to CTHR ONLY

    I tried to figure out how to rip the original disc and got no where fast. I don't know that I have a drive capable of ripping it tbh. Thanks for the tip. I'll probably buy one of the drives on the approved list of rippers and try one of them.

    Netbooting a Chihiro Type1 (I think) to CTHR ONLY

    huh, go figure. Well, it does the same thing on a Type 1, I'm pretty sure that's what I have. Chihiro base with a Naomi NET DIMM on top. Thats a Type 1, right? :)

    Netbooting a Chihiro Type1 (I think) to CTHR ONLY

    FWIW, I'm no longer getting the Error 33 message. I properly programmed 2 zero keys (one for Naomi and one for Chihiro). Now that the E33 error is gone I have a new problem. The attract mode game play video is a blank screen for most of it. lol I'd still like to do the CF method down the road.

    Chihiro bricked?

    Well, this is strange. On a whim, I capped the power supply. Guess who's working again? lol Still having trouble with CTHR though.

    Chihiro bricked?

    I've been working on a CTHR trying to get it to NetBoot correctly. I've had some issues with CTHR in particular where the game will load, will execute, and play but the attract mode gameplay screens go dark and only show insert coins at the bottom of the screen. I've been trying other versions...

    Netbooting a Chihiro Type1 (I think) to CTHR ONLY

    Morning all. I'm working on a Crazy Taxi High Roller that has a bad GDROM drive. Rather than messing with the drive I thought that I should just set this thing up to Netboot and run CTHR only on it. The NetDIMM had 3.03 on it so I updated it to 4.01. After doing so I can now load CTHR from...

    Namco System ES3 Teardown and some basic info

    I know its been asked a few times and seems to go un-answered but do we know the BIOS password for this system? I've got a Time Crisis 5 that has a timing problem on the second player (com port2). I'd like to get into the BIOS to see if COM1 and COM2 are set to the same speed.

    Taito Type X2 Upgrades and Mods

    thanks for the information all! I managed to find a workaround that seems to have done the trick. I bought a 4 in 1 out HDMI processor that allows me to move the input that the games computer is on to the far left of the screen and fit about 60% of the screen? See attached pic, I put the...

    Taito Type X2 Upgrades and Mods

    I think the game does run at 800x600 natively. That or 640x480 since the game came with what looks like a D9200 or D9400 (both monitors were missing when I got to the games). There are three outputs. DVI, VGA and that little round connector for composite video. I've tried the VGA and DVI...

    Namco NA1/NA2 Repair Tips

    It didnt work. I suppose I should have taken the time to map out the pins on the one I bought vs the ones on the board though.
