Title: Newbie needs info for igt s+ DVB
Post by: dnystrom on January 28, 2014, 11:33:51 PM
Hello,
I have a igt s plus with a dvb now and would like to upgrade (if possible)
so the dvb will accept the new  style bills that have the color in them. The dbv spits them back now
but takes the older ones.
Thanks!!

I think the S+ used a DVB200 validator and I think the  DVB200's are either a flash version or an eprom version.  Flash version requires someone to reflash the validator with the lastest version update.  Eprom version can be upgraded by simply replacing the eprom in it with the newer version.  I think the last software update for the eprom version is V3.75 and I am not sure what newer bills it will take.  Someone on here probably knows what bills the last firmware version will take.  Post a picture of the top and bottom of the validator and someone will get you going on this.  It's been a while since I have work with these so I hope I am partially right on some of the above.

OK! We're off to a start.
It's a 200-B023
Ver 2.33-04-03
B37B

I don't know if it has a chip or has to be flashed. Like I said I'm new
but understand to a point what to do with some direction.
Thanks for the reply!
I tried to upload some pics but no having luck with it. Msg is too big

The BV version looks like it is pretty old.  Check out this post link as it shows the difference between a flash validator and an removable eprom validator.  Again I am not sure what is the latest version that is used so new bills can be used in the validator.  http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=594.0

Thanks for the info!
It's a stationary rom that's permanent.
It's as good as it's going to be.
It will take the "Big Faced" notes but it will not be able to take colored one's.
I can hardly wait for the next crisis...... :137-

The DBV200 is not upgradeable to the newest bills as it hasn't been supported by the manufacturer for a few years now. I believe you can upgrade to a WBA validator, but it is on the verge of being abandoned by the manufacturer also and as far as you can go on the S+ platform
