Title: Time Machine: Top Communication Box Error
Post by: sakwilla on April 10, 2022, 05:32:57 AM
Hey all, I have had the Time Machine game for a few years and purchased the TSE Fooler Box and Card and worked no problems. Its been collecting dust as havent used it in about a year. Connected the Fooler Box and installed the game as wanted to play it again and it came up with the Top Box Communication error (Photos included) there is an LED organise light flicking every few seconds - not sure if thats the problem.

Replaced the battery on the Fooler Box too and checked conneciton into J21. Even tried installing it in a different WMS BB2 machine as have three and same error.

Card is in securely in the fooler box too.

ANy help would be great appreciated :)

I think on time machine, you can disable top box in the game settings.  Your tsetse's cf card might be bad also, thus your com box error. Hook up a pc monitor to the tsetse to make sure you are not getting any errors as it boots.

Cheers Rick. Unfortunately you cant disable the top box for Time Machine (I could for Wizard of Oz) tried three different Fooler Board Cards and all have the same issue. Thanks though for your help.

did you connect a monitor to the tsetse's board vga connector to see if they are booting up without an error?

Reseat the Bios chip. I have brought a few back to life by reseating or replacing the chip.  :wave:

The bottom monitor I think has VGA input too, you could use that.
