Netboot with just a PC

Yep - send a screenshot of your pc’s IP (from the command prompt - type “ipconfig” and send a screenshot from the netdimm network settings.

It sounds like both your PC and the netdimm are not on the same network or settings are wrong.
 
Piforcetools script (does not require zero key but requires constant PC connection without one)
Interesting, I am waiting on my zero key to arrive and I have everything else setup so much so that the game uploads the system reboots, loads it into memory, reboots and then gives me an error 33 (which as I understand it is a sort of piss off your key is wrong response). I'm using piforce tools 1.5 on a Pi. Trying to run Initial D ver 3 export. I have a multi bios and have set it to USA. From what I can tell in the python code. The game is sent along with a zero key, then is commanded to restart and then it sets a 10 hour no need to check key type command and then disconnects. I think for whatever reason that process doesn't work and the zero key heartbeat code has been removed. Please correct me if I am wrong. Seems to me netbooting currently without a zero key is a non starter. As a note the game is a bin file from gakmans repo so I'm assuming it is fine for this. Thanks!

Yeah - you need to change the address of the NETDIMM. (you don't need to know the networking reason)...

First - on your PC - do this from the command prompt "ping 192.168.0.2" and make sure nothing responds. Then use that ip address for the NetDIMM (192.168.0.2) and the same net mask (255.255.255.0).

Make sure you can ping "192.168.0.2" after the netdimm takes that address (it might need a reboot) and after it responds to the ping - run the transfergame.exe command.
 
If you can ping it - you are good. You are sure your netdimm is responding to the ping and the naomi is in "checking network" status?

Make sure that when the netdimm is off you don't get a response from 192.168.0.2
 
the ping times seem very high for something locally connected....

what is the network setup - how is the PC and netdimm hooked together - through a switch, plugged into your router - directly connected to each other?
 
Oh - I see... wireless is 192.168.0.x

You haven't configured your ethernet port with an ip address.

The easiest thing to do is to plug your netdimm into your router - do you have a port on it you can plug into?

If not - we need to configure an ip address on your network adapter which is slightly more complicated if you haven't done it.
 
you also need to find an address that isn't being used (since .2 is) from your laptop ping each number in succession from .2 up and find one that doesn't respond and use that for the netdimm.
 
i have it plugged into the router i have my laptop in the router 192.168.1.2 was not being used as it timed out so i used that the i tried to ping it after i changed it still nothing
 
You can't use 192.168.1.2 - your home network is 192.168.0.X - you have to only change that last number... so ping 192.168.0.3 and then 192.168.0.4 and so on until you find one that isn't used - and give the netdimm THAT ip address. Then see if you can ping it, and if the transfergame works.
