Naomi Pi 'WiPi Netbooter' - compatible with Pi 3&4

Hello,

I'm trying to get this working with the r-pi4 but it is not sending the roms to the net dimm.

I am able to login to the wipi on my phone but when I try to send the game, it loads to 100% and then nothing. The net dimm is stuck on the now loading screen and if I get into test mode and back out, it gives an error 33 message.

The only way I am able to get the netdimm to work consistently is to use the transfergame.exe with the a setting of tweak of 10 Mbps full duplex under the speed and duplex settings.

I bought a raspberry pi specifically for this since I dont want to lug a computer around just to use transfergame.exe

I am on firmware 4.02 and have a zero key and using multibios.

Any suggestions to get wipi running?
 
Hi @chunksin !

I've found what it's wrong with card emulator on WiPi.
You have to install pyserial, as it's missing.
Once done, everything works fine.
And I've found a typo in Fzero mode.
In cardemulator.php, this line names the mode F-Zero

echo '<a href="cardemulator.php?mode=fzero">F-Zero AX</a></br>';

And the mode is called fzax here:

if ($mode == 'fzax'){

As the card folder is fzero, I suppose the typo is fzax.

I also think that would be a nice touch to add a clean card file in each folder,
as if you work with a setup without keyboard, that would be easy to select a file.

Cool, thanks, I've not touched the code in almost 4 years so it needs an overhaul! The wifi setup will be updated too, some issues have come to light in testing that if your home wifi network runs on 192.168.1.0/24 it overlaps with the wired Pi network and you lose access to the Pi so the Pi network will be updated to a 10.x address range, easier to enter in the service menu too :) more bug fixes and thanks to @Murray some new audit functionality for more accurate scanning.
 
I am just getting into cabs and am in the process of acquiring a NNC and plan on installing a Naomi 2. I have read through the thread and look fwd to setting up WIPI . If I plan on using v5 of the image and just my phone (no lcd) is there any sort of consensus on which version of raspi I should purchase? Any rec acc (heat sink, cooling fan ect...)?

No reason not to get a raspi 4 with a simple plastic case.

Hey guys is there any advantage in using a Pi 3 b vs Pi 3 b+?

Is the ethernet on the net dimm 100 or 1000 speed?
