Winning Eleven 2010 Cabinet and Troubleshooting (Konami PC Based)

[vholfx]

Hello,

I got a nice looking Winning Eleven 2010 cabinet in non-working condition. There's little to no info about this game and cabinet (that I could find), let alone the hardware (which is Konami PC based), so I thought it would be cool to share whatever I find along the way. Winning Eleven 2010 is not even listed in the Konami PC based hardware wiki, it lists up to WE2008. Here's the cab in question.



The cabinet powers on, but there is no image or audio. However there is a bios beep code, so I took the PC out for further troubleshooting.



Turns out, from what I gather, it uses the same mother board as some of the Taito Type X2 systems, it is a TEM100-01B (could not find the manual).



With that info and this post by a nice fellow I found the corresponding issue for the Beeping code, which is 4-2-3-3 (Extended Block Move), according to google, it is related to the graphics card, so I took it out, plugged the video cable to the integrated VGA output and.... it booted! (with errors)

More to follow.

So the machine now boots but there are two errors being thrown at the moment.

The first is a "new hardware" window, don't know why because I did not plugged in any new hardware yet (I did swap the rams from one slot to the other before pulling out the video card, basic PC troubleshooting). Then the game tries to boot and a memory error is thrown



I had an NOS ATI card laying around, I gave it a try and the system boots just fine. I also get video output from the video card, but I still get the two windows above.

Here is the new card, pretty bare bones



Keyboard and mouse works during the initial window start but as soon as the scripts kick in, keyboard and mouse is locked out, which I expected.

This is how far I got today, I suppose I can try to source the same video card so no new devices are detected, but since the same window was showing even without a new video card, I doubt that will even help.

Any thoughts, ideas or input in general is greatly appreciated.

I had this in the backlog for way too long. I decided to give it another go and well, it's working!

After backing up the HDD to an image, here's what I did.

First, the system runs some scripts at boot, one of them locks the keyboard and mouse inputs so I could not interact with the OS at all, the lock program in question is in
C:\Konami\klock.exe

I just renamed that file (along liblock.dll just in case) and no more keyboard/mouse lockout.

That opened up the OS for me to tinker with, and as suspected, all it needed was installing the right video drivers, which was the part of the process that took me longest because the card I'm using was quite picky on the driver version it needed.

Next step, I'll add more games to this machine in a multi fashion, starting with Otomedius and maybe a newer version of WE. I also have to try a better graphics card, and see how far up I can upgrade it, but I'll wait on that.

Oh right, it never occurred to me that this is the same cab as Otomedius. The hardware is probably the same as well?

yes, exactly the same cab and hardware including the touch screen. I saw an art kit for otomedius years ago for sale in yahoo Japan
