Hello, Matt. I have a problem with Dexter not booting up in my Dragon's Lair cabinet. I am wondering if this could have something to do with the limited edition laser disc ROMs I installed with the Hi Tech card to run a Sony LDP 1450? I saw a video where someone tested it with the Hi Tech card, & it played fine. However they didn't mention if they were running any updated ROMs. I understand there was also a problem with a certain power supply that was shipped? Mine doesn't appear to be the one pictured, but perhaps that could be my issue? What do you think could be the problem here? Please let me know, & thanks!
hi,
First of all, while it is possible to use Dexter with the Hi-Tech card, the "proper" way to use Dexter is to remove the Hi-Tech card and plug the Dragon's Lair laserdisc cable that was plugged into the Hi-Tech card directly into Dexter instead. Then the only thing left to figure out is whether your Dragon's LAir boardset is set up for PR-7820 or LD-V1000 mode (Dexter can auto-detect this).
However, if you'd prefer to keep using the Hi-Tech card, then you will need to switch Dexter to LDP-1450 mode and plug the hi-tech card into Dexter's DB25 port (the same one as found on a real LDP-1450).
If what I've provided you doesn't help, providing us with pictures of your setup and/or providing an internet connection to your Dexter unit so that I can remotely see what's going on are the next logical steps in my mind.
