## Running 573in1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### I cannot get past the BIOS "hardware error" screen and into the main menu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Make sure the disc image has been burned correctly (and not by e.g. dragging
|
||
|
|
the image file onto the disc). The disc should appear as `573IN1_xxxxx` and
|
||
|
|
contain a bunch of files named `README.TXT`, `PSX.EXE` and so on.
|
||
|
|
- Try using a different disc and/or another CD-ROM drive. A list of drives known
|
||
|
|
to be compatible with the stock System 573 BIOS can be found
|
||
|
|
[here](https://psx-spx.consoledev.net/konamisystem573/#known-working-replacement-drives).
|
||
|
|
- Ensure the BIOS is not reporting an actual hardware error with the 573. A
|
||
|
|
CD-ROM error will result in `CDR BAD` being displayed, while other errors will
|
||
|
|
be reported under the PCB location of the chip that failed (e.g. `18E BAD` for
|
||
|
|
a JVS MCU error). A list of BIOS errors can be found
|
||
|
|
[here](https://psx-spx.consoledev.net/konamisystem573/#boot-sequence).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### I get an error about a missing file or the CD-ROM being incorrect
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You have booted into the game currently installed on the 573's internal flash
|
||
|
|
rather than from the disc. Turn off DIP switch 4 (the rightmost one) and power
|
||
|
|
cycle the 573.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Security cartridges
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### My cartridge does not get recognized
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Make sure the cartridge's contacts are clean and the security cartridge
|
||
|
|
connector on the 573 has no bent pins and is not worn out, corroded or
|
||
|
|
otherwise damaged.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## IDE devices
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### My IDE cable does not fit into the 573
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The 573 motherboard has pin 20 populated on the IDE connector, but most cables
|
||
|
|
use it as a keying pin (as per later versions of the IDE specification) and
|
||
|
|
thus have it blocked off. You may either try to find another cable or drill a
|
||
|
|
small hole in the cable's connector.
|
||
|
|
- You can also cut or desolder pin 20 on the 573, however this is not
|
||
|
|
recommended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### My IDE drive, CF card or adapter does not show up
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Try using a different drive or adapter. Some CF cards, SD card adapters and
|
||
|
|
IDE-to-SATA converters are known to be problematic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### My IDE drive, CF card or adapter shows up but is unreadable
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Ensure the drive supports LBA addressing. All CF cards, SD card adapters and
|
||
|
|
the vast majority of hard drives do, however older hard drives (typically ones
|
||
|
|
with a capacity lower than 8 GB or manufactured before the mid 1990s) may only
|
||
|
|
support CHS addressing.
|
||
|
|
- Ensure the drive is formatted with a single FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 or exFAT
|
||
|
|
partition. Other filesystems such as NTFS or ext4 are not supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Miscellaneous
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### How do I obtain more information about an error that happened?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You may press the test button on your 573 or cabinet at any time to toggle the
|
||
|
|
log window, which will contain detailed information about errors.
|
||
|
|
- If an IDE hard drive is connected you can also take screenshots by holding
|
||
|
|
down the test button. Screenshots are saved to the `573in1` directory in the
|
||
|
|
root of the filesystem.
