No worries ;) Thanks, here's the list of "invalid disk" errors: taiko7 NM00023, taiko8 NM00033, taiko9 NM00038, taiko10 NM00041 and taiko11 NM00044 I'm not really into emulation right now either; I'm working on *Dark Age of Camelot*. I've made it portable and local, and I'm populating the game, creating quests, and so on—it's a never-ending job, lol.

"cannot open arcade media image" usually indicates an issue within the `acgame` file—specifically, a naming mismatch between the contents of the `acgame` file and the actual files it points to (such as the `.chd`, the `.elf` file, or the `NV00...` file in the `memcards` folder).

It's weird—Taiko 12, 13, and 14 booted up perfectly on the first try, but the other Taiko games just won't work; I get an "invalid disk" error.

What do you mean, "3 of each"? If I get Taiko 7, is there a CHD and an ISO that need to be converted to CHD? I only tested it with Taiko 7, using two different CHD files and every possible dongle and memory card combination. It’s possible PCSX2x6 has a bad configuration saved in memory, but I wouldn't know where it stores that data so I could wipe it and start fresh.

Thanks ;) I'm not sure what's causing it, then. "Invalid disk" made me think of the CHD, but I downloaded others and even converted some ISOs to CHD, and it's still the same issue. Plus, there aren't any dongles or easy ways to edit an arcade game =) I'll take a look at it when I've got a clear head.

Regarding the link you shared about game compatibility via the emulator: they say Taiko 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 work, but I keep getting an "invalid disk" error. Do they work for you?

If you have the correct, working CHD files for Taiko 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, could you—if you have the time and inclination ;)—put together a small pack? Mine keep giving me an "invalid disk" error.

For the Taiko games, you need the 256 BIOS and the system set to "System 256" in `acgame`—it's not 246.

Place all .ps2 dongle files into the "memcards" folder and the System 246 and 256 BIOS files into the "bios" folder. Once you have the "roms," "memcards," and "bios" folders fully set up at the root of your emulator directory, delete all other emulator files and folders (keeping only roms, bios, and memcards). Replace them with a fresh, clean download of pcsx2x6. Then, launch pcsx2x6, go to "gamelist," and open each game folder one by one—do not run a full scan, as that will mess things up; you need to process each game folder individually. Next, go to the exclusions section and do the same for each game folder one by one to exclude the boot.elf and proverb.elf files. You will then have a nice game list in pcsx2x6, and all you'll have to do is click on a game to play.

Here you have the dongles to put into the memory cards; they are usually named just like in my "acgame" files. Click on the games in the list, and you'll find the memory card file to download along with the game ISO (only download the specific "NM00..." file you need. refer to the "acgame" files to see which one corresponds to each CHD). https://archive.org/download/system2x6/Namco System 2X6/ You'll need to unzip them and then change the .bin extension to .ps2 for each dongle.

You need to make sure your CHD and memory card files are named exactly as they are in the `acgame` folder. Also, in PCSX2X6, you shouldn't point the list to the entire "roms" folder; instead, add the individual game folders one by one—for example, `rrvac`, `rrvac1`, and so on.

Arbo.zip Hoping this helps you a bit.

SRAM files are generated when you start the game: you launch the game, go to "Test," configure your settings, return to the game, and then quit—this creates the SRAM file with your specific calibrations. As for the ACGame files, I can share mine to help you out, provided you've kept the same folder structure as the Emusmpre pack. acgame.zip

There are also a few on Emuline: ;)

Yeah, it’s a huge pack—and it doesn't even include every single game—but I was struggling to get Ridge Racer running too. So, I downloaded the pack even though I already owned all the games it helped me figure out how to organize the folders and files so everything would work.
