Title: BB2 to BB3 conversion problem.
Post by: Maxpay72 on March 15, 2024, 03:20:26 PM
Hello all!  I did a BB2 to BB3 conversion and everything works great up until the configuration in progress comes up. The top screen has the Linux Starting box in the middle and the bottom screen has the configuration in progress and the call attendant. The OLED buttons are on the WMS screen. It is just sitting at that point for a long time. Any ideas? Thanks

So you cleared the machine, and you’re trying to load Bier Haus 200?  The red security dongle light is on and the 4 left most MPU lights are on?  You’re using an NXT3.2 I’m assuming?  All that you changed was the MPU from an NXT2 to an NXT 3.2?

Thanks,
Jason

I did clear the machine. And then installed the Game Chest 14. The game chest didn’t come with a dongle.  I will check the lights. I did change out the NXT2 for a NXT 3.2. Do I need to plug in the top monitor to the DVI or?  Thanks

Ya.. the four left lights are on green and the two to the right are red.  Thanks

Did you do the cabinet mod?

That’s why I stay away from that game.  There’s some hardware modification that needs to happen from what I’ve heard.  Try with a legit OS and game CF and dongle to see if your machine can load a game up.

I didn’t do any cabinet mods. Could someone explain how to do that?  Thanks

Somebody smarter then me may know for sure, but from what I'm reading in the fault the monitor resolution is incorrect. I know certain games have to have a larger monitor. Maybe someone reading my response knows for sure.

My experience with the cabinet not being right is indicated in the an error on screen..

As I recall you have to configure the machine as a Blade cabinet with jumpers on the backplane and it involves cutting a wire too.

Scroll to the last few replies on this post and it will explain the cabinet mod needed.

Just curious, was it the cabinet mod that got you going or something else?
Use these to adjust the resolution on the monitors. One for each monitor.  I also purchased the short cables to help with installation.

Well.. I purchased a Duel Link DVI cable for the upper screen. I didn’t do any cabinet mods. Just the DVI cable. So just need to get the DVI emulator for each screen to fix the screen being off the screen on one side.  Fantastic help from all on this site!  😁👍

I installed switches in mine to be able to chose which cabinet style the software is looking for. I've tried this Chicago multi game software and didn't care for it. Some of the games have been altered from the original, like Alice.

I just did the BB3 upgrade by replacing the NXT2 box on my BB2E with the NXT3.2 CPU and used the upgrade power cable for the power input to the NXT3.2 box which the NXT2 doesn't have.

No video issues at all.  The only thing I had to do was replace the VGA>VGA cable that went to the top monitor with a DVI>DVI cable to connect DVI instead of VGA to the top monitor, which is specified in the upgrade guide.   Can't use the VGA port on the NXT3.2 CPU.   DVI port in the back is secondary (top monitor), DVI port in front of it is the primary display.

Everything came up ok, I've had no video issues whatsoever and didn't even need to change any jumpers.
