Ok, so I have a TTX2 running the multi and while most of the games I’ve played thus far run ok, Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe seems to have a watchdog timer and the unit cuts the signal to the screen and nothing I can do will make it come back on. REALLY frustrating as 20 minutes is about how long it takes to get to the last boss!

Also, some games like En-Eins Perfektewelt and Battle Fantasia only boot in 480p. Is there a way to force them to boot in 720p?

Finally, some games stutter in 720p, which is annoying as hell. Is this likely due to the unit only having 256MB of RAM and struggling with the higher resolution? Will upgrading it solve this issue?

Thanks folks!

Question 1 - I have no idea
Question 2 - I dont think so but if you do find a way, I am interested in knowing how.
Question 3 - Upgrading the RAM to 2gb is cheap and does wonders for stuff like that as does running the multi off an SSD if you are not already. I can't seem to upgrade my processor. Every one I have tried gives me a black screen and cycling fan on boot but others who can, say that helps too.

Flip Dip SW 1 on the JVS baseboard to turn off the watchdog - watchdog basically will reset if no COM2 serial activity after X amount of time, TX1 and X2 games send a custom JVS command to constantly reset the timer.

But yeah flip dipsw1 or just remove the reset line to the mainboard.
