NETWORK BOOTING – GUIDE

Firstly you must make sure you have the following pre-requites:-

Network dimm board 3.03 or higher (Naomi/Tri-Force/Chihiro) or
Tri-Force/Chihiro Type 3 units

Patch/Crossover cable (router is possible also).

Network security chip

Windows XP PC with Lan port and transfergame.exe tool

Stage 1 – Preparing the client.

Firstly you must set the jumpers on the dimm board to allow loading from a network stream.

Remove the lid casing.

For network dimm boards (Naomi type)

Use the picture below, remember to note the old setting in case you want to go back to GD-ROM drive.


For Chihiro Type 3 only



For Tri-Force Type 3 only

Set Dip 2 = ON

Replace the lid and insert the key chip.

Powering on the system should give you an error

Error 34 Gateway not found
or
Error 31 Game not acceptable by mainboard

Go into the test mode, and then move into Network Settings.

Set the network type to Ether, and give your client an IP address, remember your Windows PC must be able to ping/see it on the network, so they must share the same subnet mask.

In my case I give my laptop IP 192.168.0.1 and my client game systems 192.168.0.2 (Player 1), 192.168.0.3 (Player 2) etc.

For router based, you can use DHCP, and let the IP be auto.

Save the settings, remember to power-off and power-on again, as network changes do not change until you power-off and on again.

Your windows computer should now be able to ping your client.

Go into windows command.



Once you can ping the client you are ready to transfer game application.

Locate the transfergame.exe

Run it like the following



Transfergame <IP of client> <game name>

You could automate the process by putting a shortcut in your windows startup folder.

In the case of transferring to multiple clients (OR2SP link), you need to-do multiple instances of transfergame

Create a batch file

@echo off

Echo launching all clients
echo client 1
start transfergame 192.168.0.2 or2
echo client 2
start transfergame 192.168.0.3 or2
echo client 3
start transfergame 192.168.0.4 or2
echo client 4
start transfergame 192.168.0.5 or2

tokysan ha scritto:allora, ho portato il naomi in camera cosi ci lavoro meglio, sto notando che se rimuovo un modulo di ram, sembra partire "sempre" ma ho visto anche, che pur pingando l'unità, questa non ha porte aperte...non comunica

tokysan ha scritto:ehehe,si è uno sbattimento enorme...senti ti va se mi dai una mano fisicamente? puoi provare a sganciare un modulo di ram e vedere se cmq puoi giocare con giochi piccolini?ho provato a montare un po di moduli di sdr in mio possesso, ma ho paura che li voglia identici o cmq solo di una determinata velocità...(100mhz presumo)

tokysan ha scritto:ahahah,anche io sto in office xD si si vede!poco fa a pausa pranzo ho fatto queste prove, ho lasciato il naomi acceso per fare caricare la batteria di backup, mannaggia! sempre a lavorare ! comunque ok, attendo che rientriamo va
