Raiden Fighters JET Checksum Error 9921
Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my RFJ cart. I plugged it into the SPI board and got Checksum Error 9921.
The SPI board had Viper Phase 1 in before, which still runs fine.
When I checked the Wiki I found the jumper issue for changing carts, but that didn´t help either. The main board is the V 2.0 PCB.
The jumper change does not trigger anything - no boot up mode or whatsoever.
As far as I see both carts are japanese.
Help would be really appreciated.

Re: Raiden Fighters JET Checksum Error 9921
The first thing I'd do on a checksum error is dump all the socketed roms with an eprom programmer and compare the CRC32s against the mame set(s). If you don't yet have a programmer I guess you could remove and reseat all the roms in case a leg isn't making a connection and that is causing the error.

Re: Raiden Fighters JET Checksum Error 9921
It's most likely a region code incompatibility i.e them not both being JP region. Plenty of info here: https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34314

If you have an eprom burner, I can guide you how to make the cart accept all regions.

The Seibu SPI system is cartridge-based with all game data on the daughterboards, so a game can easily be switched in except for Raiden Fighters Jet, which uses a modified version of the SPI motherboard. To switch a game, simply swap the daughterboard.

Re: Raiden Fighters JET Checksum Error 9921
Thank you. I checked all Eproms and pushed them back in. Everything seems ok. I don´t have a burner sadly.Spork wrote:The first thing I'd do on a checksum error is dump all the socketed roms with an eprom programmer and compare the CRC32s against the mame set(s).

Thanks, both seem Japanese. But I will try anyway.thomj wrote:It's most likely a region code incompatibility i.e them not both being JP region. Plenty of info here: https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34314
Great, I don´t have a burner, but could ask a friend. Would you please tell me how to proceed?Pythagoras wrote:If you have an eprom burner, I can guide you how to make the cart accept all regions.
I see that for the first time. Can anybody here confirm that RFJ needs a modified SPI board? Some people seem to have switched carts with a Viper mobo.DaveyD wrote:Taken from here: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_deta ... me_id=9246

This can also be comfirmed in the mame driver. "SXX2D: This is a smaller (and perhaps cheaper) version of the SXX2C hardware."Post subject: Re: SPI SXX2D RAIDEN FIGHTERS JET

No, you don't need a particular version motherboard to run Jet. There have been lots of SPI rumors, like that Jet ran the CPU at a faster clock speed (for some reason Ghegs' RF Emporium page claims this, it's not true). This is another bad rumor. Jet was a later release so you often find it with the late revision motherboard - that's probably all there is to it.
I don't know why Seibu made the first motherboard revision or what changed. The next and final revision - the small version motherboard - was likely done for cost-cutting reasons, just like Raiden Fighters 2000 and the OKI system variants. The small version motherboard seems to have pretty bad video quality compared to the original so I'd avoid it.

There are no significant changes between the revisions, clock speed, memory etc is all the same...

For the Japanese revision of Raiden Fighters Jet:Moonwalker wrote:Great, I don´t have a burner, but could ask a friend. Would you please tell me how to proceed?
Fist dump the eprom labled "PRG 2",
then load the file into a a hex editor and change the byte at offset $313A2. From "01" to "03".
and reburn the eprom.
The modificaton will now let your cartridge accept all motherboard regions.
So after this modification the the game should proceed with the flashing process as expected.

So I have an update. A friend of mine, who wants to burn the Eproms for me told me the following:Pythagoras wrote:For the Japanese revision of Raiden Fighters Jet:Moonwalker wrote:Great, I don´t have a burner, but could ask a friend. Would you please tell me how to proceed?

As it seems in the Mame resources my board uses the prg2.u0221 ROM and not the prg2.bin ROM.
The prg2.u0221 ROM does not have the patch on the address.
Ideas anybody?
Thanks!

For the prg2.u0221 with the CRC(82f7a57e). You have to change the byte at offset $31581. From "01" to "03", to make it accept all regions.

Re: Raiden Fighters JET Checksum Error 9921
BTW: I'm little bit curious about the region of your cart, since it uses the "prg2.u0221". Was it a Japanese one? The previously known Raiden Fighthers in Mame that uses that rom are U.S, Germany and Taiwan...

Re: Raiden Fighters JET Checksum Error 9921
Interesting.
Do you mean "03" is the universal region code in a cart to unlock the compatibility with all the mobos from all the regions ?

Re: Raiden Fighters JET Checksum Error 9921
I'm curious, too. It seems that the hexadecimal change is about skiping the checksum test, instead of "03" as an "universal region code". Could you provide more info about this? and what is the correct address to make that change for other gamesPythagoras wrote:

By change the byte "01" to "03" you tells the "error check routine" to return an "OK". instead of an "region error". There are 4 different return codes that can be returned by the test routine.
$01: Error 9921 (Region Error)
$02: Error 81 (Flash Write Error)
$03: Ok
$FF: Error 82 (Unknown Error)
The addresses for other games will be depending of the game but also by the region and revision. I can make a list of the addresses for the other SPI games/revisions but it will take some time since there are quite many roms to check.
