Hey sorry i keep bothering you, there are five files here. Do I download all of them and just dump them in the hdd root of the multiboot?
Thank you!
Can you please explain how to use it on a normal game? I just want to get hotd4 working thats it. I think theres something wrong with the original cf card. Does the install disk write on the cf as well? Or do you know if i there is a file i can write on the cf card?it's an "install disc"
someone will have to explain how to use it on a multi
i only know how to use one on a "normal" game
Hello again, I tried to make a restore disk but it doesnt do anything. The screen is black. I noticed that in bios it cant see the ide hdd but when i connect a sata ssd it shows up. So the next idea i had was to restore the harddrive image onto the ssd. I found the .chd file for hotd4 and tried restoring with chdman. The files i downloaded were dvp-0003a.chd and
dvp-0003b.chd. do you know if i have to pick one or do i have to extract both files to the ssd. If so, can you tell me how to extract both files together in chdman? What is the command? I am only able to extract one at a time and i believe it overwrites on the first one when i try the second.
Thanks for all the help!
That's revision A and Revision B of the same game.
You only need one, usually the latest one, so revision B.
It's all here btw.. https://mega.nz/folder/tNY2nCwS#637xGzNRBd787yCnwYXAGg
Omg THANK YOU! I accidentally deleted the crediar multiboot os files and the mega.nz link you gave me is empty. Would you have the files by any chance? Thanks again.
I made a chd file of my hotd4 hdd. Its a rev d. I can upload it if you need it. I think the original cf card is corrupted because i extracted the chd file on an ssd and in bios it shows up but still doesnt read it. Do you know if there is a dump of the MDA-C0004A REV D cf card i can duplicate?
Cheers!
P.s. I also made an image of the original hdd with macrium reflect. I can upload it if you need it.
Hi guys sorry i keep bothering you.. I restored my deleted os files. I downloaded the hotd4 files from the link TheDeath gave me but when I run the game it says wait initializing jvs and doesnt boot the game. It stays in the multiboot menu.
I also got the original hdd to work and in bios it shows up as primary slave, but it still finishes the now loading screen and starts blinking.
I also noticed the jvs board light turns from orange to blinking green. Is it supposed to be blinking or is it supposed to be solid green?
Thank for all the help!

Appologies if this has already been covered, but you have a few potential issues here:
- The ram could be faulty. Just because it boots up and doesn't make the 3 beeps does not mean it's definitely okay.
- The JVS card is most likely the issue. Try booting up the Lindbergh without that card in:
- If it boots up fine, it's the JVS cards fault.
- If it still doesn't boot up, your CF card is corroupt.
The fact that your games say 'Initializing JVS' and don't get further (as long as you do actually have a JVS IO connected) suggests that it's definitely the PCI JVS card that is broken. These are one of the most common faults on the Lindbergh so it would make sense. Best way to fix would be to purchase a PCI JVS card.

Hi thanks for the reply, i got rambo to work pretty well. (I couldnt calibrate the guns propperly, but sill works well) that i assume means the amp and jvs works. Its not able to read the cf card. I installed the CF multi on an ssd and plugged it in the ide port with an adapter and it works. Im trying to get the original game working. Its a Hotd4 deluxe cabinet. I have 2 hdds with the same game but one original cf. The original cf reads MDA-C0004A REV D. Im looking for the raw dump so i can install it on a fresh cf. The cf is seen in bios but wont boot. Do you know where i can get the files?

I'll send you a private message
does anybody have a faulty jvs card or 2 for sale/trade?
what is one worth?
i want to see what fails
(and dump any memory devices on it)
about 80$ working
Outstanding! That's exactly the file I was looking for... Thank you!
