Buddy gave me a pin2dmd to try out on my data East games. Using an arcade switching power supply I had it hooked up to just 5v. Got it configured for data east and plugged ribbon cable from lah into it and no data transfers. Is the board toast or is there something I’m missing? Tried with enhance on and off still nothing. Any ideas?

Lol it’s cleared back off and playing

bump to see if anyone knows of any tricks with the old pin2dmd set ups.

Claims it was

Thank you. Will mess with it some more

Getting to messing with this again and did test input. Pin 11 closed. Also I can’t find the jumper settings to make sure if they are correct. For right now I have it hooked up to an arcade switching power supply and everything hooked up to 5v and ground

Test rs232 says loop error. Tried firmware update but said invalid. Upon start up it says 4.24. Any advise?

There is no jumper in that connector. I believe I have it hooked up and set up right. I have it testing on lah and got the firmware update from the pin2dmd link

lucky1 used your link and got it updated to 4.35. Thank you. Still no data coming through. Here is all that’s on my sd card

I did rename the first two files but still not getting anything coming through

lucky1 I did change the file names before I turned it on. Just getting back to seeing what is going on. I am getting palette uid err on bootup.

Possible that the sd card has an issue?

Thank you sir. Will do some more digging on this. really hoping I can get it working.

got the correct files on the sd card and no more palette uid err. still will not do anything. so probably have a board issue?
