Game Nexus Closer Look Arcade Hardware Namco System 246 Playstation 2 Based Board 

I am really glad could help, I am trying my best to spread as much information on these rather obscure arcade systems.

@@thegamenexus160 it's appreciated, and I think it's an untapped mine of content. I'm shocked how little video content is out there when the consoles are so exhaustively covered. It's also an integral part of the history of the consoles that's totally ignored. The story of Namco versus Sega in the arcades had a massive effect on the entire industry.

Yeah, I am still reuploading some of the arcade videos but new videos should be coming fairly soon as far as the arcade stuff goes.

I can honestly say, there is no one place I went to learn all this stuff, basically I pieced it together from various sources such as message boards, facebook groups and youtube videos. Especially if you are just trying to hook the stuff up to your tv and play it like I do, there is really no definitive source for that.

as for ejecting the disk. I really don't recommend ejecting with the power on. I'm backing up Dragonball because the system spat the disk out still spinning and scratched a ring into it. Thankfully, the disk still works. I use the manual eject with power off.

When I was modding the game with my Soul Calibur 2 mods I had done, I used DVD-RW discs that only burned at 4x. That worked fine, Other than that bit of experimentation, I did not ever burn a 246/256 disc. As far as ejecting the disc, you should only do it at boot time before the game is full running, otherwise the system may be spinning the disc really fast. Plus if you swapped dongles already (to switch games), the disc wont be spun up much when the system realizes there is a mismatch.

I need help*

The games on the system were usually different in at least a few ways compared to the ps2 versions. Sometimes the arcade versions had different features. Poor google translate translation: Los juegos en el sistema generalmente eran diferentes en al menos algunas formas en comparación con las versiones de ps2. A veces, las versiones arcade tenían características diferentes.

Usually that means you are not supplying the System 246 with enough power as its a very power Hungary system, You may want to test the voltages at the connector on the front of the system.
