Title: Jackpot update speed settings ChamII
Post by: Magicslots on March 15, 2011, 02:04:25 PM
Still brand new to the ChamII progressives, and dont have the cable yet to hook up PSP to my system.
Is there a simple way to increase the speed at which the display updates/catches up to the game?
Can it be done with the buttons on the board?  :99-
This thing lags waaaaayyyy behind game play to update to the current amount.  :99-

I don't have one of these, but I have the manual.  I'm just guessing, but it looks like ODSPEEED under MENU=DISP can be changed (using the buttons). It says value 1-100 and default is 10.

For what it's worth, many home users (like me) actually like that, as it causes the display to keep scrolling even if a coin hasn't been inserted in the previous few seconds -- it gives it more of a casino linked progressive feel, where the jackpot is constantly climbing until someone hits it.

The "LAG" is essential in the opperation of a link.  As electronics are so fast, players cannot see the effect of play occuring, this can and does cause confusion plus also "trust" issues.  Further, it smooths out apparent play giving an even increment, if too fast it tends to be in "bursts".

This speed can be altered via the CON2 on the U7 chip of the firmware, edit the default values about 7FE0.
