Namco 256 Tekken 4 help
PostYesterday, 11:41 pm
Hey guys, I just picked up a Namco 256 set up and I'm real new to the hardware. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction
Its a namco 256 main board, and a namco I/o hooked up to my jaleco Pony MK II 22. T5.1 works great and boots no problem, so I'm pretty sure my mainboard, power situation, and dvd drive are all in check.
Now I know I need to adjust the jumper on the mainboard of the 256 to the 246+ setting which I have done. When I insert the dongle and disc the system will start to load and boot the "Tekken4 will begin momentarily. " screen with the the flashing period, and the system hangs. Now I'm used to Naomi stuff and some times when switching from gd rom games to carts the system can take a few minutes to boot the main screen, so I let the cab run an hour, and it never boots. I can go into the test screen and get all of the options for t4 and adjust them, but when you leave it Just sits there telling me it will boot momentarily... Mocking me with its flashing period.
Like I mentioned it seems like my hardware should be good given t5 works fine. I've heard of 256/246 compatibility issues but never with t4. Could this be a corrupted dongle? The disc seems in good shape, way better shape than the T5.1 that runs fine. If I get to this screen does this rule out a dongle issue as the game boots off the algorithm on the card? Could I even get to this point with a bad security dongle.
The only thing I can think to do is take my t4 copy to be cleaned with an azuradisc machine. What else could cause this issue?
I'm new to this hardware and desperate for one of you to share your expertise
Thanks
