FWIW a friend's MK2 stopped working a few weeks ago. Would boot with one bong and a blank screen. One PCB LED was one steady and the other would flicker in a repetitive pattern. No sounds when coined up. 5V line was 5.1vdc at pcb. Pulled boardset, cleaned all through hole socketed chip legs...

A friend's Cybersled started having issues with one joystick. The plastic part that attaches to the pot shaft and slides in the slot in the joystick ball has cracked and sheared off. 95-7008-00 is the Namco part number according to the manual. The only hits from a Google search is from the...

Since I never got any responses I had to poke around with a DMM. After said DMM detective work I realized which caps were 5v and 12v filter electrolytics. Installed replacement caps and the game is running normally. First image is the revised cap list for my TSK-A base board. Second image is...

More Triforce3 fun! A friend's Mario Kart GP was throwing an error 26 and the fix was recapping the TF3 base board using the cap kit from console5.com. Two weeks later his other MKGP threw the same error code and I had another cap kit to do the work. When I did the previous board I wrote down...

It was Ken of ifixsega who pointed me in the right direction. Ken said an error 26 can be either pic or memory card if using the cf hack. Swapped parts around with the other working TF3 until the other boardset 26ed. When I moved the cf-ide-512mb between the systems the error would follow...

Everything I've read here says error 26 is a pic security chip issue but I'm running a zero pic/CF firmware/512mb CF card/one 512mb DIMM with the appropriate MKGP file. Running two linked Mario Kart GP cabinets using the zero pic, CF firmware and CF-IDE adapter. After working perfectly for a...

Looking at the Triforce type 3 boards on eb-ay and the price differences are dramatic. The cheapest one with a netdimm board is labeled "not for mario kart" but not sure that's correct. Wondering if the cheap one can run MKA2B8 with nem's CF method. Are there Triforce type 3 boardsets that...

Thanks again nem.

Now that I have a friend's hacked Mario Kart running (thanks to nem's fzero ax CF tutorial) the owner wants to play linked games with his legit MK. This MK runs software version MKA3A1 on a ROM module while the newly hacked cabinet runs MKA2B8 via CF/netdimm. I was told that both cabinets need...

Excellent writeup - thank you for sharing your wisdom. Not sure if my G540 chip programmer can handle this particular PIC but I'll find out next week. If not time for an upgrade.

A friend bought a Mariokart arcade GP for his arcade bar. He was not told it had a Triforce fzero boardset running a hacked version of MKGP netbooting through a NaoChiTri v1.5. It worked for a few months but now the machine boots with error 31 and doesn't attempt to load an ISO. It passes all...
