Post by: Chuck spurlock on October 27, 2022, 06:10:41 PM

Hi,

Is there anyone here that may be able to steer me in the right direction, I was playing it early in the morning and then shut it off came back later to play and got this error (see pic)

The Game Compact Flash isn't validating at boot up.
Reseat both cards in the Gmem cassette and restart.
The CF is on its way out and they are a special type made by TDK

The best thing to do at this point is clone the card before it gets too bad.
You may find that after restarting a few times the game will boot.
Those CF card have a small software (GBDRIVER) that has some type of redundancy to provide good data and I think that is where the problem lies.
I tried getting a CRC or SHA hash from a card one time and every time I read the card there was a different hash.

If you have another 1GB compact flash by Aruze I would try and clone the one that is giving you problems to the good one.  I have done that and it has worked flawlessly after.

okay I appreciate all your advise and help, I don't know if it's a coincidence but I pulled the gmem card took it to the garage pulled the 2 cards and blew the sockets and pins out and put it back in the machine and it happened to fire up and is still booting every time i turn it on, I am going to do as you suggested before it's too far gone,

thanks again

Chuck

At least make a .VHD of it now even if you cant find a spare CF card and than you will have a good backup.
