Sorted.

 

Flashed the Program Card with the correct BIN file to remove the need for a datapak.

 

Thanks

Everyone.

naa not that I can find! least I have some section 16 program cards spare !

 

I see the boards have a jtag programming connection, so do wonder if they was programmed with that or if that's just to program the CPLD chip with version 1 code, its all a mystery!!

compact flash has to be formatted as fat16 for this to work on a bootstrap 1.16 version, fat32 works on bootstrap 1.21 versions as well

Just a thought. Could you convert a rio cab machine image to a sit down machine changing the ini files and upgrade the mpu5?

Or is the executive still needed?

That way only one monitor would be needed?

as far as I can tell you load the mpu5 with the SITD bin files, then of course you need the sitd pic chip, then pc knows its the sitdown model and adjusts accordingly, you need the sitdown game bpaks as well as that contains important data on the setup.

 

well that's how i understand it at the moment, without actually trying any sitdown files etc

I though it couldn't have been that easy!

 

Do we know anyone with the SITD files?

SITD files for the mpu are in the barcrest folder on the hard drive, I think its in folder GE/cabinets/MPU5 or somehing like that, I don't have a hard drive connected to the pc to look right at this moment so that folder path might not be 100% correct.

 

as for the SITD pics on the program card, they must be about, I have one card with one on I have yet to try, I am concentrating on the twin screen e-rio version at the moment

It does exist, here is the display on a alpha.

 

Apart from the fiddly task of removing and reading the flash chips there is any way to get the .bin file back out onto a CF card is there?

Managed to extract the files needed, so updated this card from bootstrap V1.20 down to V1.16, then used the compact flash to program it with the file MPU51_21.BIN (updated version of the MPU51_18.BIN I was trying to get hold of)

 

All worked fine! so now I can convert program cards BACK to section 16/21  :cute:
