Hi All,
Have a Tekken 4 (Namco sys 246) with a bad drive in it. What drive can
I use to replace the bad drive? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Namco made sure that we send these boards in for service when the drives go
bad.... If you send it in now they will replace the drive and security
dongle for around $500.00. When the drive fails again in the future you will
be able to use any off the shelf drive because of the new security dongle.

I don't understand why you can't swap drives... what's special about the
namco one?

But for 500$!

You are almost better off buying another working one off e-bay.. they've
been around 250$ or so..
