Time keeper ram holds the game ID IIRC. there is info out there on how to remove the RTC/TimeKeeper and then play any viper game.

Don't ask me though, Konami I hate.

You need to socket the IC where the Timekeeper is and have the code for the game/region to program into it. Then you have to write the corresponding CF card.

Certain CF card and Timekeeper combos don't work so you'll have to be careful about that.

I know that GTI 2 will lock out new users if you try to swap and prompt for some kind of password.

Hi.

I have the same problem "game mode locked set the password".

GM941 2001 GTI Club 2

Anyone know how to solve ?.

I changed the CF, M48T58Y.U39 and DS2430.U37 but it is still locked.

What is the password? Can this situation be solved?

Thank you.

Juan.
