Game Data (loaded from the Gdrom to the Dimm board) are corrupted.
Make sure that the Gdrom drive is firmly connected to the naomi board & make sure the Gdrom disk is not scratched.
oh and btw : Hi! :smt012

seems it may as Giles suggested, check the scsi cable is securely in place, I just had an error21 by nudging the scsi cable out of place on my GD setup

Well had another go, I have disconected the dimm board, cable re-seated the dimm's put it all back together and same thing :smt013
It loads the game up does the memory check thing puts up the Naomi logo then error 21, I can then go ino the test mode the Naomi ram test passes, and the Dimm board tests are all good, were you would go into the game test mode there is just some garbage text and if you try to go into it it just locks up.
Thats all four games that worked fine all have the same fault.
Hmmmm
Still not happy!!!!

Check the voltage of your PSU.

Yep way ahead of you mate, turned back on and metered the thing all that seems fine, lo and behold game loads up and works fine, only problem is I have no idea what I did to get it working again, dodgy/dirty connection somewhere I guess or praps the SCSI cable is a bit dodgy.
Ho hum its working at the moment!!
Cheers for the help.
