This is continued from the 'Linking Cabinets' topic.
:smt100 Has anyone sucessfully linked a set of Gundam carts? I've been trying, but had no success. Here's what I have: :smt100
2x Naomi2 setups
2x Gundam vs Zeon carts
2x Communication boards
2x Fiber Optic cables
Both mobos have the same bios (export); both carts are the same version; fiber optic cables have been connected as shown on the Sega-Naomi main website (under hardware). Before the game starts, it says it is attempting to establish a connection, then time-out. One is set to master, one to slave. There is a "Max Line" option, but I don't know what it does. :smt102
If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. :smt033
Gundam technical help!!
Thanks for the reply. I see what you are saying, but the ver. F you mentioned is for Naomi1. I have Naomi2 Export bios ver. EPR-23608. According to the list, this bios supports linking.
Both games play perfect. RAM and ROM tests show all is good. As for the linking cables, they are 100%, brand-spanking new and tested on audio equipment. I also switched with other cables, but same result. :smt012

My guess is only the obvious, number of players. But if changing it doesn't help, I don't know. Remember I've never tried linking at all.
If I were you I'd try with naomi 1 motherboards. If you can afford two naomi2 setups getting a couple of naomi1 mobo's to try this should be no biggie
Could one or possibly both of the linking boards be broken? Is that possible to test?
