Hi All,

Trying to get Dead Heat up and running on an ES1 PC.

I have written the game image to an SSD and booted the ES1. It says its sealing and after a few mins it attempts to boot.
However, I then get an error screen (see attached photo) saying that the X server failed to start.

I extracted the log file (see attached x.txt) and it seems to think there's no driver named 'nvidia'.

I have tried Dead Heat Riders and get the same result. However, Nimin works fine.

Anyone have any experience with Dead Heat and knows what's going on? I made sure I used the NVIDIA image to match the video card in my ES1.

Thanks!

fuck.
the open-source driver is called NV
the proprietry driver is called nvidia
it's very fussy about *everything*
have you got the right gpu for the image?

i went through hell with that driver in the past - it made most Linux users switch to AMD!!!
 
Yes it has a 9600 GT in it.
 
is it supposed to have that?
it loads an ATI driver for a "fire GL" wjatever that is
 
Yep, the ES1 came stock with a GeForce 9600 GT. I recently sold some parts taken out from a Namco System ES1 running a Gundam game. I really don’t know much about this system but what I do know with the ES3 is if you want to change parts/upgrade, you can’t as the system has TPM enabled in the BIOS and the system will fail to boot. TPM has to be disabled in the BIOS, I can’t say that’s true for the ES1 though as I haven’t messed with it a lot.

The ES1 uses TPM, but I’ve disabled it.
The game now uses a static hdd encryption key.
It came with Gundam on it, which boots fine. So the problem is only with dead heat. Trying to figure out what it needs.
