0 biggeorge Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Dude we are still no wiser. Maybe coolspot can help you. What kind is it, what colour is it, what does it look like? Where did you buy it? How many games are supposed to be on it? Is it JAMMA? What did you do to it to make it stop working? So far I know you have a game box that you've pulled the hard drive out of and it has some sort of DOS on it with the above files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 stuartc Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 chipsets are NORTH is VIA 8601T SOUTH is VIA 82C686B Files on the HDD are: adv084.exe 6331 KB advmame.exe 6183 KB autoexec.bat 1 KB cx423x 4 KB endt.lst 6 KB es1883 4 KB game.com 7 KB viaudio 4 KB can anybody help me? thanks Hi metz, I am a computer tech and while not familiar with your setup, it looks as though it is meant to boot a version of DOS or PC DOS or something. If the files you listed are the only files on the drive then you are missing a few. Make sure you check for hidden and system files. Can you post the contents of the autoexec.bat file? It would be easiest if you contact the manufaturer and tell them your HDD failed, what do I do know? Did it come with any disks at all?

0 metz Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 nothing in the file you asked I brought it 2nd hand so no disc I will have to call them when the time is right over there But will they speak english? thanks for your time does anybody have an Image even close to this that I could try? thanks agin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stuartc Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The autoexec listed in your first post has the size as 1KB - ie, there is something in it. If you open it with something like notepad and it is empty, then you have surley suffered disk corruption. As I said before, you are missing a few files. I am not familiar with advmame but it may be possible to get this machine working by getting a copy of advmame, setup a new hard drive with a dos boot - try boot.disk.com for ideas, format x: /s may help you. You would need to load drivers for the sound through the config.sys file, which you are missing. You would then need to find out if there are any command line switches needed to run your Jamma board. My best suggestion, if you can't get joy from the manufacturer, or find someone with the same setup, let someone who has experience with dos based setups loose on it. Other than that, surely someone knows how to make mame work with the Jamma boards. Good luck. P.S. from your photos, the hard drive looks like a Quantum Fireball - yuck. If you get it up and runninf, clone it to CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 metz Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 I hear ya on the Fireball and thats what I need are those config files Anybody? I can figure a ghost file if anybody has it otherwise I'm selling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
