    It will go though the STEP parts for a few minutes which are just bootup checks etc, and wil eventually get to this screen If everything is ok,...

    Error 0001 means no keychip. you should be able to press the menu buttons on the system at this point.

    In case there is anyone in the UK after a Project Diva cabinet, "Joushuu_" on UKVAC (a UK based arcade forum) is selling a Future Tone cab...

    http://www.ukvac.com/forum/sega-cabinets-parts-projects-update28-03-22_topic387354.html

    He's tried to register here himself but couldn't get the confirmation email to work.

    As for getting it delivered, you could try Martin at Retro Logistics...

    https://www.facebook.com/RetroLogistics

    He delivered a New Net City cabinet to me last year and waited holding it on his sack barrow while I took my front door off to get it in.

    Edit: looks like someones buying it - anyone from here?

    It finally arrived and I've been trying for the past 10 minutes to get the top lid off and I've had no success. I unscrewed the two screws around the port area where it is but are there other screws holding it in place?

    By the way, I was also able to figure out that the game the Nu 1.1 originally had on it is Chunithm Crystal. I've never heard of it before but I think it's another rhythm game.

    Well an unfortunate thing happened and now I stripped one of the screws for the thing that holds down the GPU...

    The ones on the outside of the case or inside where it attaches to the hard disk bracket? As if its the inside ones, that part can stay attached to the larger hard disk holding part when removing it

    The screws inside the thing that keeps the GPU in place. One screw I was able to get off, but the other one just kept chipping metal away and I don't know if it's even possible to unscrew it now... In case I managed to get it off, would any regular Phillips screw work in it's place or do I have to get a specific screw?

    leave it attached to the big plate that hold the disks and keychip holder and take the thing out as one piece, just remove the 4 screws on that and the 2 on the side of the case. once out remove the disks and try hammering a phillips into the bad screw to make the + more defined.

    Also all screws used inside are identical type, so just steal one from elsewhere in the case, if you are going to be putting your own parts inside and only using 1 hdd you'll gain 4 screws from the 2nd disk caddy.

    Ohh alright, let me try that. I didn't realize that you could just remove the whole hard disk plate with the GPU plate

    Ooo, well I was able to get the GPU out and I also did in fact manage to get that screw out (thankfully). I was scared I was gonna break it because the way the PCI lane mounts it is different than what usual motherboards use. Would it even be necessary to keep that GPU plate there?

    It's only to keep the card perfectly in place, it seems pointless as the card is so small it would never move on its own. Probably just to stop it dislodging when transported.

    Yeah, figured as much.

    So now that I have this, is there a way to extract the game currently in it? Or is that process also difficult and/or requires a keychip as well?

    Ohhh boy that does not sound like a good experience...

    I've always liked trying to extract games myself, but I've probably struck too hard with this one. At least now I have a GTX 750 Ti for using with the dumps of the game so that there's no shading issues.
