ERROR 26 Media board malfunctioning

[OldFoo]

Hi,



I finally received my first Naomi Cab today. Booting it I get the error message:



ERROR 26 Media board malfunctioning.



Thanks to google I found:

[CAUSE] KEY CHIP is not found.

[COUNTERMEASURES] Attach the proper KEY CHIP for the game. Insert the KEY CHIP securely.





It is a virtua striker 2. The Key Chip is inserted properly.



I bought a universal key chip for a net dimm. Should this be working with the Triforce Viruta Striker 2 gd rom? So that I can test if the Key Chip is broken or something else?





The gdrom sounds even more asthmatic, than I do. Can this also be the cause?



Thanks for your help



ciao

No such thing as universal keychip.



Also Virtua Striker 2?? I am sure you mean Virtua Striker 2002.



Sounds like you've been scammed.

Hi Andy,



thanks for your answer.



I have two things.



1) A real VS 2002 key, which gives the error.



2) And then I bought via ebay on of those "Sega Naomi Chihiro Triforce GD Netbooting Security Chip".





So 2) won't work with the VS 2002 GDrom, if I understood you right.





What can be the reason of the error 26, even though I have the correct key?



Thanks

Well real key or not, it's dead..



Not sure if Striker 2002 has export/japan keychip (I think it is the same), but what is the serial?

[OldFoo]

The chip you bought is for net booting, typically for people who are not running legitimate GD roms. Legitimate GD-roms are going to need the right chip, so your's might be dead or mismatched.
