So I pretty much did everything and I'm at a point where I believe the Network board on my chihiro might just be toast. I'll have pictures of everything I have setup and if I did something wrong let me know cause I'm pretty much all out of leads here. My Pi will not ping my Chihiro.

Also when I try and do a network test it stays at 0% not sure if that's a sign or not.

Got a crossover cable coming in today and gonna give that a shot when I get time after work. Not really expecting it to work at this point but mineaswell rule it out.
 
Quick update, acquired a crossover cable and just as I assumed it doesn't work. Something I did find interesting though is I attempted to send over the firmware update anyways and it attempted to connect, but eventually was hit with a Connect failed error. Also after switching jumper 9 to 2-3 my chihro stays at the "Checking network, please wait...." Screen forever, is it supposed to do that?

Tried to ping the Chihiro through my PC since it's like the only thing I haven't tried yet and just as I thought, still no luck. I tried DragonMinded's tools and it seems like my PC isn't getting anything from the Chihiro at all, at this point I give up and just gonna wait for the replacement Network board to come in, just so I can narrow that down.

So I got a replacement network board, but the screws holding it in place are extremely tight and feel welded on, attempting to take this off will most likely lead to the screws just getting stripped so I'm gonna give up on this for now.

Is it possible to launch the game from the disc?
