Chihiro questions

Post by IDCHAPPY »

Ok I bought one untested, a bit of a gamble, it came and so I booted it up, got nothing till I attached the right cables :lolno: .
Then I got a green tinged screen, I copied the dipswitches of my other one( a JPN one) and that sorted the green screen, I am still left with this however:

that looks the same as running a 15khz game through a naomi screen.
Does the chihiro have a dip for doing that like the naomi mobo does?

Good question, I set the dips exactly the same as my other chihiro mobo( I think) which appears to work ok. :eh:

Hi,

This may sound daft, but I don't suppose altering the hori hold/size/position will correct it?

Hmm, worth a bash I guess, but when I swap in my Japanese chihiro the picture is fine? :eh:

Have you tried swapping the filter board with the working Japanese one? Might be a bad VGA connector..

Not had this problem, but have had faulty VGA connectors on Naomi boards.
Wanted:
Sega Model 3 Emergency Call Ambulance ROM board or complete Step 2 boardset.

No but I was thinking it looked resolution based, I just figured that changing the Dips might put it back to crt type thingymajigger.
Trying to use the option screens is tough :lol:

Do you bought this Chihiro on EBay to one Spanish guy? Because one guy was trying to repair some Chihiro on spanish fórums but no body helps to him and i think maybe this is, because firstly he put on that fórum selling like untested :S

That's pretty crappy. Wonder if you could get the forum link of him asking about it and use it to make a PayPal claim.

Doesnt the chihiro have a few cap issues? Have you checked than non are burst or leaking?
