    It is easy, just add a jump wire from the gear shift pin(up or down, the one you prefer) and connect it to pin 35(if I remember well) of standard sega JVS i/o board,
    this way the shifter will have both function.

    :eek:
    tried my 3 I/O (837-13551), none was working.
    Player 1 button 5 is working for all naomi games.
    as far as i remind button 5 is working with VirtuaStriker 2002 (triforce)

    maybe may i update my triforce?

    about my triforce mobo:
    boot: 2.03
    firm: 0.36
    fpga: 7.09
    firm media board: 1.01
    firm network: 11.01

    is there any (safe) way to update a triforce mobo?
    I've read somewhere that VirtuaStriker 2006 update the mobo, but after update, all other games (but VS2006) dont work. is it right ?


    mathieulh, merci pour l'info, je te MP pour avoir quelques infos supplementaires :)

    Hum... I am using a type3 triforce, that might be the difference, as Mario Kart isn't meant to run on Type 1 units (from your firmware versions I assume you are running on type1, I might be wrong though)

    Is there a way I can buy the stuff from ebay to play Mario Kart GP without buying the entire unit? I don't know much about arcades but if someone could help me out and tell me what I need to buy that would be awesome..


    I am guessing I will need something like this

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/NAMCO-256-S...ultDomain_2&hash=item27ba6cc6b4#ht_629wt_1139


    or

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEKKEN-4-Sy...ultDomain_0&hash=item19cc512f0c#ht_500wt_1180
    with that said.. I am guessing I will need some sort of controllers that will work??

    Hello knowledgeable people!

    I have a few questions. Apologies if they're daft, but before I go and splurge a load of cash on pointless hardware and incur the wrath of my usually calm and understanding girlfriend; I thought I should just confirm some details.

    Mario Kart runs on a Triforce 3 board and therefore I will not require a separate netdimm unit to play games over a network. Is that correct? Will FZero AX / Mario Kart GP2 / Avalons / Virtua Striker run on this board also?

    To enable network games, i would need a zero'd netpic chip (a bit like this one http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Sega-Naomi-Chihiro-Triforce-GD-Netbooting-Security-Chip-/180654890640) and set the jumper on the mainboard to allow netbooting games. Is this correct?

    So, assuming I already have the games, I would need a netpic and a type 3 mainboard. I understand that you can get various versions - Furthermore, I understand that 'Export' is generally considered the version to get. Is there any way to change the version when you get it - or does each version have a slightly different firmware?

    How do you hook up a card-reader to the Triforce to enable save games?

    Can you run the Triforce to an LCD TV and if so, via what connection? VGA? If so, where - and how - is sound outputted?

    Apart from a control system (which, amazingly, I don't have any questions on, YET), am I missing anything obvious?

    Many thanks and apologies for the mind-numbingly daft and numerous, questions.

    Hectic

    from gbatemp:

    I'm guessing the whole 'no game is playable' relates to the work that would be needed to feed input in

    Whoa... that's awesome. That might actually be worth soft-modding my Wii for. I played this game in an arcade in Florida recently. It's a pretty fun game.
