So i have had this N2 for a while, but only today got my hands on a Net Dimm board to finally play my FT however, as I am setting up to play, I put the Net Dimm in, slap the security chip into it, connect the GD and boot it up...I don't reach the Naomi 2 screen :smt010
This is my first encounter with a Net Dimm board and am not quite sure if I did something wrong. I am assuming the ethernet port is only for vfnet connection, right? And I am assuming that the serial port is for an external component, right?
So am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with my Net Dimm? To make sure it wasn't a MB issue I plugged my standard Dimm in and loaded up GGXX no problem.
Net Dimm problems...trying to get FT running
Yes,

I had it on a non .net, but that was with swapping parts round from a non .net to a .net, as a rule yes though.

So, just an update, I figured out what the problem was, thankfully it isn't bad. In transport I had feared that perhaps the RAM had shaken loose or something to that extent, so open it I did. Reseated the RAM and closed it back up...still nothing
Opened it up again and realized that the two connectors on the one end of the board that connects the two boards were not quite connecting properly...closed it again, this time making sure they were lining up and it works! So 'something' shook loose, just not what I had originally thought
However it doesn't end there...turns out the firmware is 2.06 :smt010
And it wasn't from MAK, but G-Front, and they had told my friend that it was FT ready...bastards!
