Derp, sorry lots of fires in the oven switching between lots of hardware repairs/game repairs and missed that above.. Looks like I will try to replace the bad 168 DIMM socket on the other media board :bigtears: If that goes bad then I'll just buy a replacement media board but hoping to avoid...

Yea, that is strange. I was thinking the files in that directory sound like boot splash screen and I get the splash screen and then it fails with a media board comms error. I can go into menu, but under System Info it shows comms error again. Any idea if the .asic files are used every boot...

Hello! I was flashing my Chihiros for CF upgrades the other day and one of them went south during the update. The system rebooted itself during some flashing, and at this point the media board no longer communicates with main board (Error 22.) Any idea if I were to copy the TSOP flash IC from a...

Just updated one of the other systems without issue, It had Boot 2.19, QC Firm 1.08, SC 1.10 with Dimm running 4.00. Went super easy and definitely took longer to flash and completed. The first one that bricked did not go through all the steps before it restarted, it restarted quickly in the...

On the two Chihiros I just cleaned, one of them has a massive supercap underneath the xbox pcb instead of the factory time/date cap. It also looked like some of the SMD ICs had been replaced. The GPU looked different than the other one. Very strange. But they came from a pair of outrun 2s that...

Hello, hit an issue trying to upgrade my firmware to FACTORYCHECKXB.512_hacked.BIN.7z with goal of running pair of Outrun2 from CF vs GDROM. Partial recap on main xbox board, new paste, removed the danger cap, replaced the supercaps (guess not needed, oh well) new batteries all that. Type 3...

Naomi 2, had a ZeroPIC and tried using piforcetools. In the past I've messed with triforcetools.py on Chihiro and friend's Naomis but this is my first attempt at my own setup. My Naomi2 was too low on the bios version to be able to setup the DIMM, but I knew the IP address from when I had...

Progress report! Okay, so I took the LOV IV hard drive... I managed to image the encrypted drive off to a file using a windows clone of the dd utility from linux. From there I re-wrote the image to a standard non-locked disk. That image totally boots on the X3 with the security turned off...

Hello everyone! I've been poking against a few X3s I picked up over the past week or two. My goal is to run the multiboot on a X3 host with some games on a Chewlix for running at home. I imaged out the 2.0 image to a SSD, I threw it on the X3. I turned off security in the BIOS and it boots up...

Hmmm that sounds like Nugget and the 256 system I own! Was there a Chihiro also? I was just working with the Chihiro comparing it to mine as I try to convert some games over to Compact flash (from outrun 2 pair that is usually on floor @ MAGFest.) <3 Much thanks. The tickets aren't the hard...

Hello! I am a long time pinball and arcade hobbyist. Current vid collection of interest to this community includes a Neo-Geo, a pair of Outrun 2 cabinets (Chihiro hardware) and a Crazy Taxi (Naomi.) I also have a few Bemani machines as well. I have worked on games with friends and an arcade in...
