Boot Issue With Megatouch XL Gold
tandrews:
Ok, we got a different screen. Is this after unplugging the CD-ROM? Probably safe to plug it back in.
Added:
Odd, you have 0123456789 on your screen...do you have a keyboard connected?
ice2921:
Yeah its after I plugged the CD-ROM drive in.
ice2921:
Now the error is more consistent.See attached.
ice2921:
Could I try using an I/O board from a MAXX series?
obcd:
The io board of an XL has a number of functional blocks.
It contains the sound chip, comparable to an older style isa soundblaster card.
It contains a rom disk which holds the rom dos the pc is booting from.
It contains a non volatile ram chip which is memory mapped in the upper region and used for the settings and the high scores.
It contains the interface to the security dongle. This used to be a square block and was later replaced by a spoon type dongle. (dallas ibutton)
It contains the interface to the coin acceptor and service/test buttons.
It has a number of dipswitches and some additional (unused) inputs and outputs.
I doubt that the maxx io is compatible.
Sometimes the finger edge contacts make bad contact causing all kind of strange behavour. Rubbing them with a pencil eraser might help. The raiser card can have the same issues as well.
Try to clean your game cd with product used to degrease glasses. It might become readable again (for a short period)
The gold edition software has a copy protection mechanism that detects if the program is started from harddisk instead of from cd. Some people managed to patch out that protection. You can read in some previous posts about all the problems getting it going from a harddisk or compact flash disk.
