I have a pair of Waverunners, they do not have motion, just left/right and accelerate, but everytime boots up goes thru the tests, and fails on NO Drive Board, I would presume this is for the DX with motion? but cant see in test how to disable? the message in constantly on screen whilst playing, games play fine, just message is annoying
anyone come across this before?
thanks
 
not entirely familiar with the test mode on WaveRunner, but is there a cabinet type setting anywhere? kind of like what Daytona USA has (don't remember the 3 options, but I remember having to set ours to Twin lol)
 
yes its set it 1 player (s)
I will look again in a bit as was late when messing around with it, I guess the drive board option is for the motion model (that would be so neat)
 
I had a STD waverunner w/o motion that would do this occassionally. IIRC, there is a small boad in the back that tells the game it is not a motion cab. Maybe you have a cold solder joint on that board or reseat a connector?

ok thanks to be honest not checked the wiring and that yet, figured was a option, thanks will look and see!!! :)
 
we got the motion one at work. it's a pain in the ass, honestly. it's cool for like the first couple times you play it. I really wish we had the not-motion model heh.
 
ok all good the board that was holding all the parts on had come loose so slipped and pulled a wire DOH! should check first I guess, anyway moving onto the next WR now, powers up, monitor works, Naomi board is getting power as 2 leds can be seen inside, but no power to IO board, seems to be getting voltages okay, maybe bad board?
