That's a Type X3.
Are you using the Artax multi? You should try the Discord for support.

Hi @rtw! My TTX and Blast City were sitting in storage for the last year or 2. Before that it was set to autoboot TGM3 and was working without issue. I finally was able to get them hooked up again today but am having trouble getting it to boot properly. At first it was getting stuck on this BIOS screen that I could only see with a separate monitor (I assume 800x600 or something being unshowable on the blast). I replaced the coin cell battery but no change. Then I hooked up a keyboard and pressed F1 and that caused it to start TGM3 (the game I had set to autobot). I thought all was good, so I turned it off and restarted. It was TGM3 again, but no video. I rebooted again and it shows the mouse for a second, then blue screen. Now it does that every time. Any idea what happened?

@mikaeltarquin hard to say. At this point I would download the newest version of the multi and copy across the games again. A lot has changed for the better.

It looks to me like the CR2032 watch battery that maintains the CMOS settings died. Open the case, swap the CR2032 battery out for a fresh one, then power up with a keyboard attached and press DEL repeatedly until the BIOS Menu comes up. Load the Default Options, then Save and Exit. The computer should then reboot and hopefully act as it did before.

Oh I did replace the battery with a fresh one, but I didn't get into BIOS, I'll try that as well tonight. Thanks!

Hm, DEL didn't do it, but CTRL ALT F9 brought me here. I don't remember a password for this, but then it was a long time ago now that I last worked on this. Google isn't helping for some reason, either.
Edit: Updating the drive to 5.0.1 seems to have worked. Thank you both for your help!

Okay. I mounted the image file using onto an SSD using HDD Raw Copy Tool. I put all the games in separate folders on the third partition. But when I plug it into the X2, I get the X2 loading screen and then when it's done I get a BSOD.
I tried reformatting and doing it all again and got the same thing. The X2 works with an official game hard drive. Any idea what I might have messed up on?

This is for the TypeX, if you want the multi for the TypeX2 with all the games pre-setup shoot me a PM.

Blarg. I swear I can read. Juggling way too many different projects right now and did the wrong thread. Thanks!

Currently running into the failure setting JVS address error. I think I'm missing the actual JVS board but I'm not sure what to get, this is my first ever arcade build and I've mostly been doing research on google/looking at other people's threads here.
Here's a photo of my TTX board and some attachments. Pardon the crazy looking open case mount; this is just a test bench I use at work when building computers to make it easier to add or remove parts before mounting things in an actual case:
I know in some of the photos it looks like maybe the jamma card is hooked into the wrong comm port; I've tried it in the other comm port (between the pci slots) too and still see the same error. This is the taito jamma that normally comes with a typeX, I believe
I have what I think is the sega I/O board. I was under the impression this was the "JVS" component from looking at others' builds, but I assume I'm mistaken. I tried hooking it to the jamma board with the USB cable as shown, and tried with the jamma board plugged into different comm ports, but I still see this same error.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread or if it should've been a new thread entirely, I can go make my own if needed, just seemed like people frequent this thread for TTX1 stuff in general! I ended up with all these parts separately and I even went through the vbios flash for the card on my own; I think this is probably the last part before I can get this thing actually booting to the OS (well, I probably still need to figure out input too... which I assume kind of goes along with the JVS board)
