FYI - It works on other, non TTX3 hardware #16

You don't need to run this on TTX3 hardware. I've tested and run this on a newer Ryzen 3600 cpu setup, and an Intel I7 9700k setup as well.

You will need the TTX fastIO and the card reader still, but the multi works fine on newer hardware. You just need to install the drivers first time around for all of your hardware.

Tested it with a 960 video card and it all works fine on both of those systems.

Just make sure you unplug the white wire on FP1 and feed 5v into it (grab it from one of your usb headers on the motherboard), and then set your com port to be COM2.

Do you have a fastIO reference that can be used and a link to the drivers ? Win 7 ? Win 10 ?

Guybrush-Threepwoods commented 3 years ago

You use the image that is available for download. It's Windows 10, so it works on different hardware pretty well.

What do you mean by fastio reference? The drivers are whatever drivers you would use for the hardware you are using. It's win10 x64.

I mean the hardware reference for TTX fastIO and the card reader. I don't know if I need a specific TTX3 fast io PCI card or if I can grab the one from my TTX2 rig.

You will need the FASTIO card from your TTX3, not the TTX 2 fastio card, they are different.

The card reader is the same, you can use the same card reader for TTX2 and TTX3, you need the one that plugs in via usb.

Thanks for your reply. I managed to boot the multi on a my standard hardware, but I'm wondering how to install the drivers for my hardware. Looks like I'm stuck on Attract-Mode frontend and there is no any explorer / cmd tool available.

The easiest way I can tell you to do this is..

Plug HDD into another computer, rename c:\tdegboot.exe to something else (keep it though, you will need to rename this back).

Grab a copy of explorer.exe from C:\windows\ on the drive, rename it to tdegboot.exe and drop it in c:\

Boot and it should launch your desktop. Use google translate app on your phone if you don't read Japanese. Obviously reverse the process to get it booting back to attract mode.

Thanks. I got a black screen when booting, but adding an entry in AM that launches explorer.exe did the trick.

And what about the JVS I/O card coming from a TTX2 ?
