Chances between slim and none??? Need a restore disc

All...

I need to find a restore disc for a Raw Thrills/Tsunami motion Fast and Furious cab. A guy I know has one with a bad hard drive and we cant get the disc from Betson since they dont support the game. Tsunami is not answering the phone and emails go un answered.

Thanks!
 
I assume you've tried reading the drive in a PC?

Yeah, its hosed. Comes up in Win7 saying that it needs to be formated and OSX 10.7 wont even mount it at all.

I can hear the drive spin up, stop, spin up, stop... Not good...

In the PC it came from I end up with something about cant find boot device.
 
Its a WinXP FAT32 drive. Well, it was before it blew chunks.

EDIT : Win7 will see the two partitions, it just wants to format them though.
 
Start calling game distributors. Someone has or has had that game and may be able to find you a disk.
 
Several phone calls already made. Will continue on Monday....

Anyone know of a Dave and Busters that still has the game?
 
I work in IT and I have repaired many hard drives with the click of death. Sometimes you can pull off the controller from another identical hard drive and it will fix the problem (very low chance of damage but most likely not your problem) or, you can take it apart and look at the head and platters. Worked for about 1/3 of the time although chance of damage to the drive is high and you have to be very carefully.
 
Hello. I have the restore disk ver 3.02. I also can clone you a HDD. BEWARE you will need to enter the file system and uncheck ALL files from ARCHIVE. If not, you WILL receive an annoying 2 inch borded around your image. It will not find Version.txt and resort to defaults.



hit me up and we can talk. I JUST got done restoring 4 of these damm things for an overseas job.

And the only guy who supports Tsunami products is a guy names Xsong. I have his cell number but was asked NOT TO GIVE IT OUT. Hell, I am still waiting on him to call me back. Does not matter anymore because I figured out the secret to restoring these units..
 
Did you see this auction:

Maybe try contacting them and seeing if they have one in the cab?? Might be able to make a copy or sell it to you!!!

Tsunami Motion

I have talked to Xong from Tsunami as well, Tsunami went out of business this summer (2012) so the new parts supply is gone, I called Betson and they said they no longer support Tsunami. I have a Tsunami motion arcade with 7 games and 6 rides. The serial # is derived from the mac address on the network card, so if the network card gets replaced, the games wont work unless there are a new set of serial #s for it .. bummer, Need a keygen or something (each game has a different #). also looking for the install disks to Crimson Skies (Mine wont install for some reason). since then I bought a parts machine
 
I think I have a copy of Crimson Skies but wont be able to check until I get back home in a few weeks. What are you going to do about a KeyGen?
