It’s fine, it’s up to us to take care of this hardware as the PS3 is basically now abandonware (besides the few yearly fw updates to keep the Blu-ray keys up to date). I’m just saying that right now, the system is still at a grey area as Namco still has minimal support for the time being.

From what I do know, Namco still has some support for Razing Storm and DeadStorm Pirates, needless to say, they still offer minimal “repairs/support”.

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if anyone has any idea if unamplified audio can be sourced from the MK1 sound board? I want to bypass the amp entirely to record clean audio from the board. Has anyone ever attempted this? If so, can you please share the location on where to tap unamplified audio? Thanks!

I don’t think it’s still the right time to share any information, it’s up to @Darksoft or @Mitsurugi-w imo…

You know most of this information is old/false right?

Running T6BR won’t work as the T6BR HDD you have is a 3.5” HDD instead of 2.5” the later systems, (357A/B used 3.5” while 357C/369 used 2.5”) and the HDD format versions are different from fat PS3s and slims, meaning even if you get a SATA extension cable and plug the HDD to the 369, you will...

Yeah, you can buy another HDD and dongle, install it to your system and the game will work again, you don’t even need another dongle as the T6/BR dongles aren’t paired to the HDD like the later games on the 3XX.

Probably the DAC on the pcb has most likely gone bad perhaps?

These things can still get the YLOD or GLOD, to make sure it’s not an issue with the HDMI, you can plug in PS2/PS3 component video cables and see if you can an image from there. Also check if you can hear the beeps from bootup. Another thing to do, check if the HDD is seated properly. If you...

No one is sharing links around here publicly unless for its for older systems and games, the 357/369 still falls under a gray area as some games like the Taiko series and some of the gun games are still under some support by Namco…

Unless you have access to a patched or very clean image , cloning it would not work as the HDD is tied with the serial number in a specific file, I’m still not sure if it’s ok to share any information yet as the hardware and software to my eyes, seems to be abandoned, but you can send me a DM.

This is actually very cool stuff I’m seeing for the first time! Thanks for digging this up bro!

Interesting, this is something I would definitely like to look into, especially to dump my own boards or reflash them with a complete game version 🤔

From what I could see, it seems like very early production units of Tekken 3 have an issue with JVS, I know mine is some times finicky with JVS but works well using JAMMA. The early versions also have factory rewiring work done to them, some near the audio amp and another near the JVS USB port…

It is possible to run with one system, that’s what I do

The Namco FCA board also works, probably the Sega I/O needs to use different pinouts? The TC4 manual is online in PDF form so you can check the pinouts @mr_magooz

That should work but you will need to try that

That’s a picture of a 246A/Driving Namco Daughterboard

You have to open the system and there should be a place that has a jumper inside
