I plugged in the board and for some reason its not seeing the hdd. It acts like its working and comes up with the game select screen and when you try to start it it says 3 strikes and your out..
If the board can't be fixed the security chip can be used to upgrade a regular area 51. Its also missing a chip labeld bram. I think its a prom. Need to look it up. I will mess with it some more this weekend.
