Hi Folks!
I got a dongle/HDD from ebay - and it arrived. Right when I booted them up in my 246 - the hard drive was not making good noises, so that wasn't awesome. I figured I would try to use chdman to write an image that I had (from the dump for the multi) - to a 4GB disk I had. That went fine, no issues and this is what happens when I boot it.
Power the system on - screen is black, looks to be about a 2 minute wait, and then some sort of watchdog timer kicks off and the system reboots (light on the right side goes red). After it reboots, it flashes "Boot 01, 02 and 03" and then goes black, and then comes up with "Init(Snd)."
It just hangs here, until that watchdog timer goes off again, and resets the motherboard. And then it does the same cycle.
Anyone have any idea why its doing this? I validated the 246 works fine with other games (SC2, Capcom Fighting Jam, etc).
