Help guys does this error 26 mean the dimm board to my gd-rom is no good?

Regular carts are working fine.

I already checked the security key, and the whole system was pulled from a virtua golf so I cant imagine its the wrong key.

I just finished running dimm test and everything tested good.

Check the number on the IC chip, should be 253-5508-0308 for Virtua Golf

Anybody here have an extra IC chip for virtua golf?

Allright so I even tried pulling the IC chip from the shell and sticking just the rom into the board same problem.... :smt017

Here's an idea: :smt115

Underneath the shiny metal cover on the Dimm module, there is a small board that the security chip mounts to. Try removing and reseating this small board. I've had this code and reseating the board worked.
