Hello!​

My wonderful Sega Rambo has had the following problem for months:​

Background:

    • Cabinet is original, except the tv - there is a Samsung tv inside
    • Game worked fine (only gun-recoil for player 1 was deactivated - for some reason the game sometimes crashed when the recoil was activated)
    • Original IDE HDD, original keychip, original CF card
    • For some reason, the previous owner had routed the audio directly from the sound card to the tv via a mini-jack audio cable. So the sound was playing through the TV.
I briefly installed a Lindbergh multiboot setup (different HDD, key, CF).
The multiboot menu worked, but:
    • many games did not run
    • Rambo from Multiboot did boot BUT when game starts:
      • loading screen → SEGA logo → CRIWARE logo
      • crash exactly when the intro video should start
      • return to multiboot menu
I then restored the cabinet to full original hardware.
Now the SAME ISSUE occurs on my ORIGINAL hardware!!!!!

Current problem with original hardware (look at the video sec 10)

    • Rambo loads
    • SEGA logo → CRIWARE logo
    • crash at intro video (Credit overlay flashes briefly & grey screen with the X)
    • right after that Error message: "Error 10 – Unexpected Game Program Failure"

I've bought an identical hard drive to the original. When I'm installing the game from the original DVD. The "Load Release" process completes to 100%. Then, for a millisecond, the message "Check Game Spec" appears on screen, followed immediately by "Error 18 IO Device Not Found".

Question:
I guess the multiboot attempt messed up my Rambo. I'm really at a loss right now. Do you have any idea what might have happened? I would be very grateful for your help.
🙏


Regards,
Rocky 🥊
