bump



My Triforce unit is 1GB, Jpn region.



I'll post a pic later of the stickers on the side.

the 1GB could be the issue, make it 512MB

Hey Andy,



How can I make the change? Is this easy to do (ie. something I can do myself?)



If so, anyone have a good 512MB memory stick?



Thanks,

Steve

So, I opened up the Type 3 mobo, and reseated what I can only assume to be the two memory sticks. (Basically, I popped them out, and put them back in.)



I thought, perhaps, this might do the trick.



Nope...still magical Error 21.



Andy - can I simply just remove one of the sticks to make it 512MB?



If so, which one (or does it matter?)

Those games won't work till it is a 512MB system.

Ok, thanks.



So how do I fix it? Do I just remove one of the memory sticks? If so, which one?



Is there something else that I would need to do/have done?



Thanks for your help Andy.

Just remove a stick and see what happens, pretty sure there is no jumpers on Triforce.

LOL - ok mate, I'll give it a shot.



Let's see what happens.



Just dying to play some VS.

MAD, MAD props to Geez!



After two years (plus), I can finally play my Triforce in my Uni cab.



Removed the left DIMM memory (furthest from the battery), and it fired up like there was never an issue.



I find it interesting that it worked find "as is" in a regular JAMMA cab, but needed to drop to 512MB to work in the Uni.



Now I just need a JPN wiring loom so I can use my 1P VS cp with VS4!



Andy - thanks so much, I really appreciate it!!
