Strange Us vs Them + Dexter behavior

Post by gamefixer »

Hello all!

I'm working on a set of MACH3 boards for a KLOV member. I found a few issues with the board, repaired them and the set runs fine as MACH3.

He asked about converting the boards to Us vs Them. So, I burned a set of ROMs from the Daphnie archive, installed them, changed the laser disc image on the Dexter to UvT via Dexter Manager, and booted the game. It came up as normal. I eventually powered it down and back up again but this time it wouldn't come up. It would do the "stop disc, start disc, seek to frame" stuff and go to the attract mode but a few seconds into the attract mode I would hear "use the joystick" over and over again until the seek failed usually to an error 5.

Not sure what was going on I converted everything back to MACH3. Came up the first time and every other time after that. I then converted it back to UvT and it came up again! But, after a power cycle, it did the "use the joystick" thing again... I started to notice a pattern here. When I change the disc image, UvT would boot and play ONE TIME. If I did a warm reboot (reset) or a cold reboot (power cycle) it would not come up.

Doing this would make it come up every time. In order to get UvT to boot I have to switch the disc image via Dexter from one image to the other. In other words, the game is up right now and playing as UvT. If I power cycle it the game will not work. But, if I shut it down, pull the thumb drive, put the thumb drive on my PC, change the image to MACH3 and put the drive back into the Dexter the game will come up but have the incorrect video footage (obviously). If I power cycle it again with MACH3 still loaded onto the Dexter the game will not boot, I have to change it to UvT and then it will work. One time.

I've used two different sets of cables and all of the boards work fine as MACH3. I'm at a loss here. I'm hoping that someone has come across this before and has a suggestion.

Thanks all!

Re: Strange Us vs Them + Dexter behavior

A few things to try...

1) When it has failed for you, while it is in the middle of doing the looping search attempt, try hitting the Dexter RESET button. It's located under the Raspberry Pi near the power jack. Report back with results. :)

2) Does the mach3/uvt boardset have a reset switch on it? If so, try letting Dexter play for a while on its own without powering off (so that it is 1000+ frames away from frame 31), then try hitting the mach3/uvt reset button and see if it boots properly. Report back with results. :)

Neither of these things will solve your problem, but might bring some more visibility into what the problem is.

1) I tried that and it does not recover.

2) I've got the reset line pulled out of the harness so I can manipulate it at will. Resetting it does not make it recover.

The only way I can get UvT to work is if the Dexter boots and sees that a new image has been selected and it takes the time to reload the image from the thumb drive. Oddly enough, UvT doesn't seem to care if that image is MACH3 or UvT. So long as its a "new" image the game will come up.

How about forcing the dexter to load from the thumb drive on every boot? I think that would fix this.

For those following this thread, the problem was with the Dexter firmware. I issued a firmware update today with the bug fixed.
