I think it's simply too fast for the triforce while the netdimm seems to have no problem on this and i prefer to use dhcp.
About the mounting, why are you suggesting that ? For partitioned memory sticks ? Uhm... I'll put on your idea, thanks.
And your was a Triforce type 3, right ?
Thanks again !
Paolo
Yes type3 triforce.
These type 3 boards Chihiro and triforce use the same network board and there is a lot of firmware variations from 11.01 to 13.50!
The network board takes a while to init, so I think your right in there needs to be at least a 30-40 second delay if you want dhcp.

Wow, 30/40 secs ! No no, I think it's too much ! I hope a couple seconds will suffice. Try it if you want...
And about the firmware variations it's weird that my triforce and the joeks one have the same "numbers": main (boot: 3.01 - firm: 0.44 - fpga: 7.09) dimm (firm: 3.06) - net (firm: 13.05) but he can't boot while I've no problems... ah, and now we have the same pic too.
As someone told, they are a little more picky than the naomi
Probably I'll release a final version with that delay and the "if" on the mounting part. Then I'll have to go back to my job, my broken leg it's recovered... i hope

Yes, adding time.sleep(3) worked, it is now booting automatically with DHCP enable.
So in theory Chihiro should also work 100% as they both use same network boards, and same concept.

Yes, all Triforce games available.
Games do boot perfectly fine with fixed ip and transfergame.exe
So the hardware is ok. Then it must be something in the difference between transfergame.exe and the python version I think.

Try the naopi script without the DHCP and using set IP, that would work I imagine, as the concept of pushing data to the client is same on both.
The only other thing is the jumpers on your network board might be different to the norm, take a photo and I'll compare - There is no hardware differences from any of the type 3 triforces, unless you got a faulty one!

We did the experiment with a fixed ip too and, judging from an image he sent me some times ago, he has the same jumper configuration as mine: jp 1 & 2 in position 1-2 and jp 3 & 4 in position 2-3

Mah...

Must be network board and/or security chip. I can loan out a set if needed.

I've already sent him the chip I was using and still no results. And his triforce type 3 works flawlessy with transfergame.
The only thing I've thought is that there are really problems on his network board which the transfergame code, implementing the full protocol, can deal with where triforcetools, being minimal, fails.
Who knows
Anyway, this is the last week I can work on this thing... I have to return to my job next week, I had a broken leg but now it's more or less recovered... has been fun to create NaoPi and chat with you all
top stuff guys ,yeah have no issues getting it to load chihiro the last couple of times ,once i waited ,nealry time to put my chihiro back on the shelf
<trk>:I remember catching a big fat one and my friend said "throw it back in, that one already tastes like wood"
Great, thanks !
I'll release a version with a little delay between the dhcp server and the triforcetools loader
Just for curiosity, do you know if there is some cheap adapter to use a digital joystick with a jvs game, like for instance a Naomi ?
I mean cheap, so not the typical fully fledged solutions with audio and video conversion/adaptation too, only the input so a person can play a Naomi game (with digital input) with only a normal vga monitor, audio amplifier, psu and this interface.
For instance, do you know if has anyone implemented the jvs protocol on an arduino ?
But perhaps I should open a new thread for this question...

I used WindowsDiskImager and I plugged the Pi into a monitor and saw that it booted into your system.
I created a folder called "naopi" on a USB drive and plugged it in.
I set the NetDimm to DHCP.
When my Naomi started it just sat on the "Checking Network" screen and kept flashing that.
I used the same ".bin" image with Transfer game and it worked after I gave it a static IP.
Not sure what I am missing.
Hi ! Thanks for trying !
Can you please create e log file ? To do so you should create a text file named naopi.cfg in the same folder where you've put the .bin file and in this file you've to write this line only: "logfile=naopi.log" naturally without the double quotes.
After you've done a new try you'll find the log file named naopi.log in that same directory.
I will not be able to try this until late tonight. I have to help set-up arcade machines at Emerald City Comic Con today I will not be home until late tonight.
