Killer Instinct HD images
« on: March 30, 2005, 04:17:20 am »
Guys,

I was speaking to an arcade owner who has a Killer instinct mackine with a dead HD in it. Is it possible to use a HD image or the CHD image to write onto a blank hard drive to bring the game back to life?

Anybody tried this before with Killer instinct or one of the other hard disk games??

Ta

I need to know what format the image would have to be in. I take it a file converted to CHD format would not work. I think I have an image for use in ultra64 lying around, could one of these be used?

You can use the CHD image, but you have to convert it with the chdman.exe file that comes with Mame.

chdman -extract kinst.chd kinst.raw

Or, alternatively, the very latest version lets you write the image directly to a replacement hard drive:

With KI/KI2 you have to have a special boot ROM that allows you to use any hard drive.  This I'm not sure where it's available.  It used to be available @ http://www.killerinstinctproject.com but IIRC it's gone.  I know there are mirrors, I just don't know where.

Now for the important questions...

How cheap did you get the cab since the HD was dead, or how much did you charge the arcade owner to fix it?  ;D

LOL!! Straight up though, he has a cab that he'll let me have for a good price if I can sort some stuff for him, like getting his KI machine running.
