Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
Hi,
I got a naomi MB which is working, but the zero gunner 2 cart doesn't work at all. When I turn the system on the screen stays black no sound no nothing. is this a known problem or is this cart beyond dead?
Thx

The screws used to seal up this cart are wood screws. Nobody is going to waste good wood screws on a bootleg, they'd just use cheap electronic screws instead.

Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
You have the usual make sure contacts are clean and cart properly seated. Other than that, have you opened it up to make sure everything looks OK?
Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
- Did you try another cart?
- Is it seated well? My ZG2cart was very stiff to insert. (Shouldn't stay black tho, but give error 01 instead of black screen.)
- Is there sufficient power? (or too much maybe?)
- Is the fan on/spinning when turned on?
- Try swapping out another filterboard from another working Naomi.
- From whom/where did you get this ZG2 cart?
ZG2 runs on any bios afaik

Try plugging it in without its plastic case.

Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
Sounds like a motherboard issue, you should still get the bios screen

Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
yeah. sounds like a mobo issue. check voltages. if it was cart related you wouldn't get a black screen, rather one of the many error messages...
Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
I have the same exact problem!
all the other games work, zero gunner 2 shows a black screen...dead
any idea?

For sure you have some bad roms inside the cart, like mine.
Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
can't access test, just shows a black screen. motherboard doesn't even output a video signal.
Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
fixed some bent pins/connector on the cart. now it boots to a black screen and if I enter test I get all ICs bad! soultion?glstar wrote:Try to do the rom test.robotype wrote:I have the same exact problem!

Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
I would try and check if bending the pins/connectors back might have broken a trace by accident, or loosen a broken trace under the connector which was already making contact by chance.
My 15kHz cabinet Peplos will never power up, with any item, and I am quite proud of that.

Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
Omg, the same problem on my ZG2, a black screen without sound and nothing
With the E bios the main board says not compatibility, but today with the H version, go directly to a black screen, all games runs except this one
I can when naomi logo start to enter on the naomi menú, all the roms are GOOD, but when i enter ti the zero gunner game menú the black screen out again

Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
did you check the connectors on the cart? are all the pins ok? on my cart some pins where bent so I replaced them all but still won't boot...maybe I fried something
Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
Count in me the club with a broken ZG2 cart.
Seems like a really poorly manufactured cart.

Re: Zero gunner 2 cart not working.
I get the same issue on my Naomi, I ususally turn the system off wait a bit and reseat the cart and turn the system back on. Usually works after that.
