I have a few Type B Triforce motherboards (with integrated 1GB DIMM, not external) and I can't seem to get them to boot a game. My only software is Virtua Striker 2002, and the security chip is 253-5508-0337J.
When I boot the system, I get an error 31 - game is unacceptable by mainboard. This error pops up immediately, before the software is even attempted to be loaded from the GD-Rom drive. The manual indicates the following:
Error 31
[DISPLAY] Error 31
This game is not acceptable by main board.
[CAUSE] The game has not been downloaded into the DIMM BOARD
from the HOST MACHINE.
[COUNTERMEASURES] Check network connections.
Verify that the PC is connected to the network.
Reset the main power. Wait until the game is displayed on the
main screen, then turn the satellite power on and reboot.
In Test Mode, select NETWORK SETTING from the SYSTEM
MENU and check that the NETWORK TYPE is set to ETHER.
In Test Mode, select NETWORK SETTING from the SYSTEM
MENU, go to SET IP ADDRESS and verify that the REMOTE
setting is appropriate for the game in use.
Check the internal DIMM BOARD battery is functioning
correctly.
However, Virtua Striker 2002 has no network capability and instructs the network settings to be set to 'OFF'.
In the test menu, the system shows 'Unknown game title', much like a Naomi that hasn't loaded it's game yet. I have tried cycling through various settings, to no avail. I have this problem on all motherboards.
Do I have the correct security chip?
Does this game require Type A? I thought the newer board ran everything. According to the versions, and the manual, I have acceptable versions of all software, but DIMM BOARD FIRM version in the manual says 3.01, and I believe I am running something with a lower number, but newer, because there is no outboard DIMM.
Any thoughts to get this game booting? The Error 31 appears whenever this chip is installed, Error 26 with no chip (the expected error), and I have tried various power supplies, I/Os, etc. but the problem occurs so quickly after booting, it does not seem to be a perhiperal problem. Board is JP region as well.

dipswitch on dimmboard? Sounds like Type A MoBo.
Dunno about your settings but this is how it works for my Type B:
Dipswitch:
1 down
2 down
3 down
4 down
5 down
6 up (31 khz)
Otherwise, maybe you have to replace the battery on the dimm?

on type 3 mobo, you got two dipswitchs on the dimm board just near the option board connector
