Lindbergh hanging ?

[bones]

Sorry I can't offer advice on this but can I read my mates Rambo hard drive that's in a red X Lindbergh running Linux on a Windows PC ? I have no knowledge on PC software whatsoever.

Always something lol,like a domino effect sort one thing out then another goes. My mates Rambo is off,someone said it looks like the graphics card died,££££££s if you can find one.
Hopefully you'll have the drive sorted by the time the 2 player panels ready to go, enjoy.

Yeh

I have a couple of gpu for your friend

It’s not the most powerful for Lindbergh
But I’m sure it is the one for Rambo

Might help

Cheers, I'll have a chat with him. We've seen the Nvidia 7600's graphics card for £20-£30 on eBay but we're assuming that the bios on it had to match the one he's got in the machine for it to work. Like I said knowing very little about these PC based games means I don't even know if it's possible to put a bios onto one of those lol. I could post a photo of his graphics card if that's of any use, it's got all the info on it.bones2022-08-25 19:13:57

This is what he's got.

 

[Retroman839]

Yeh I have the 7600

I think it will work

I believe can flash the bios

It’s a program that flashes it..

 

[bones]

Sounds good, no idea how to flash a BIOS lol. Best I let you have this thread back, I'll PM you tomorrow after I've spoke with my mate and investigated this BIOS flashing thing, thanks.

 

[Retroman839]

Glad to help

Think the guy I got it off
Flashed it
I did use it …

Like vf5 was full speed on 640 x480
But it couldn’t do full speed on HD
But yeh it was working Retroman8392022-08-25 21:40:53

Did you ever resolve this issue? My Lindbergh is doing exactly the same thing. Seems to just freeze on the loading screen?

if its an original lindbergh setup then the jvs io pci card causes that, see what the led is doing - flashing green good, orange or red bad. sometimes reseating and replacing the io card battery will resolve the issue
