Yellow Lindbergh "Please wait while initializing JVS" after boot up

[Multiboot]

I purchased a yellow lindbergh multiboot. (working according to the seller)
It booted with a "CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used" on the 1st try.
A restart "helped" and Im aware this could mean worse than just a low CR battery. :/

Now it boots past grub and the LOADING bar screen, just to show "Please wait while initializing JVS".
No matter if the Xbox Controller or a keyboard is attached to the JVS.

I never had a Lindbergh before and google was no real help regarding this.

Am I missing something?

Regards.

I imagine a multiboot works exactly the same as a standard lindbergh and therefore use a jvs io board, although it looks like a usb its not - you will need a jvs io board or perhaps there is a usb to jvs converter available, a quick search showed the following - whether it works on lindy i have no idea

JVS TO USB Controller Adapter Based On MP07- IONA-US For JVS based system TTX2、TTX3、Sega naomi1、naomi2

as for the cmos error just try a new battery, on standard lindy i also do the cmos reset link proceedure - again i have no idea on a multiboot whether this is done

I read and understood that JVS is not USB, but
the seller explained (and thats what I also learned about patched multiboots) that I can just plug the Xbox Controller into the JVS Board.

Then again I am new to all of this and still reading.
The Lindbergh booting up is a good sign already, but not beeing able to find anything regarding the message "Please wait while initializing JVS" feels strange.

whats the led doing on the jvs base board, normal operation is flashing green

I cant see how it can work by just installing a multiboot setup when JVS is a completely different protocol to USB

Does your Lindbergh look like this on the back? have you tried the USB ports on the middle/bottom? I believe that block unscrews to reveal 4x full size USB type A ports

I dont know that much on them but when I was testing one out I had it was a quick learning curve. Are you just trying to connect an Xbox Controller into the card in slot 4? I'm sure I had that error till I plugged in a seperate JVS I/O Board (ie like Driving cab I/O) in to the USB on Slot 4 JVS Card as it's looking for that isn't it?

Apologies if I'm talking rubbish as it was last year sometime I was messing with it

Hi guys sorry i keep bothering you.. I restored my deleted os files. I downloaded the hotd4 files from the link TheDeath gave me but when I run the game it says wait initializing jvs and doesnt boot the game. It stays in the multiboot menu.

I also got the original hdd to work and in bios it shows up as primary slave, but it still finishes the now loading screen and starts blinking.

I also noticed the jvs board light turns from orange to blinking green. Is it supposed to be blinking or is it supposed to be solid green?
Thank for all the help!

Appologies if this has already been covered, but you have a few potential issues here:

- The ram could be faulty. Just because it boots up and doesn't make the 3 beeps does not mean it's definitely okay.
- The JVS card is most likely the issue. Try booting up the Lindbergh without that card in:
- If it boots up fine, it's the JVS cards fault.
- If it still doesn't boot up, your CF card is corroupt.

The fact that your games say 'Initializing JVS' and don't get further (as long as you do actually have a JVS IO connected) suggests that it's definitely the PCI JVS card that is broken. These are one of the most common faults on the Lindbergh so it would make sense. Best way to fix would be to purchase a PCI JVS card.

I am thankfull for every kind and every bit of hints, ideas or tutorials.

-The JVS is indeed blinking green.
-Yes it looks like your photo and attaching Xbox controller and keyboard at those 4 USB ports = keyboard and controller getting recognized.
-2 beeps or 2 beeps 1 beep 2 beeps can be heard at the "Now Loading" screen. But usually 2 beeps.
-On the 1st start it showed the Phoenix BIOS screen (checksum bad) (THis screen does not show up again)
-How to enter the BIOS now using Ctrl+Alt+F1? At what screen? I tried it everywhere. (guess i have to remove the BIOS battery once more?)
-Pressing "p" at the GRUB screen it asks for a password. I read its just "decoration" only, but even pressing just enter it says "Failed!"
What this password thing?

-I realized the JVS card has a CR2032 battery as well, just like the mainboard. I got told the mainboard battery is new.
Whats the battery on the JVS board for? What kind of informations does it store? What if its dead?

-Removing the JVS PCI card results into "Error: 1 - JVS Reset failed" and it reboots (see picture below)

Thanks for taking the time to read here.

Reset the cmos

If the Lindbergh powerups, you will need to reset the CMOS DEFAULTS:

Jumpers near the cr0232 battery .

Put green jumper 1 between pins 1-2 and startup the Lindbergh,

You should get error message,

Power off ,
Now change jumper 1 back to pins 2-3 and restart lindbergh.

Resets the cmos

See if this works
