Title: Converting my Double Double bonus poker game. Post by: Jimise on October 10, 2009, 01:46:57 AM Hello, I was wondering what other games I could possibly install, Or that would work in my
PE + slant top Double Double bonus poker game? I have seen others with 5 games, and/or reel type games. It is a fun machine to play, But it would be nice to have a different variety of games to play, without having to buy many different machines. Thanks for all the help!

The answer partly depends on whether or not you have a superboard or a non-superboard installed in your machine. You'll need to power off the machine and take out the removable MPU board to determine what board is currently installed. If you have a non-superboard, you're limited to some single-game poker games and I believe most of the slot games will work in it. If you have a superboard, you open up the possibility of additional video poker games, as well as the multi-game video poker games that have five different poker games that the player can select from using the hold/discard buttons when a game isn't in progress. I should note, if you do not have a superboard you can purchase one and it will install right into your machine with no modification necessary. Stolistic's site has pictures of the normal (non-superboard) and the superboard so you can see the difference between them: http://www.stolistic.com/wiki/Players_Edge_Plus (http://www.stolistic.com/wiki/Players_Edge_Plus) The superboard has an extra data socket which may or may not be in use. If you're not sure which board you have, snap a picture of it and post it here -- we'll be able to tell you. Also, the bible has a whole section that contains *most* of the PE+ poker games -- you can see that list here (http://newlifegames.net/igtbible/IGT%20Poker/Game%20Library%20-%20PE-Plus.htm). The "Multi Poker" are the games that have 5 different poker games in one. Title: Re: Converting my Double Double bonus poker game. Post by: Jimise on November 25, 2009, 02:44:38 AM Hello again, (Thanks for the reply knagl) I found me a super board with the multi poker on it. I should have it in a few days,
I am sure i will be bugging you all with some more questions when I attempt to install it! I read something about a set chip for the bill acceptor that I might need? Thanks again :131- Jim............. Title: Re: Converting my Double Double bonus poker game. Post by: knagl on November 25, 2009, 08:36:13 PM Yes, you will need a SET chip to re-enable the bill validator when you change games. You can post a WTB request in the classifieds section and/or contact one of the vendors at the top of the screen to purchase one.
Title: Re: Converting my Double Double bonus poker game. Post by: Jimise on November 28, 2009, 01:48:16 AM Hello again! Well i received my multi poker board today, (Packed great!) Anyhow, I pulled out the one in the machine
and discovered that is also a super board (cool :3- ) I installed the new one and it works great! (The colors are off on the menu Black/Red, but I understand that is because the cap prom X2174. I guess they are hard to find? ) So I need a set chip to re-enable my bill validator. My friend here on the board 89chevyman has a set chip for his IGT Haywire slot machine. Could I use his set chip on my machine? Thanks everyone on :nlg- Title: Re: Converting my Double Double bonus poker game. Post by: knagl on November 28, 2009, 10:53:56 AM Jim-
Yes, the colors are off because the wrong CAP chip is in there. What CAP chip is currently in there? I see a capx2174 working with a different multi-game -- you're saying you need a 1274, or that's what you have now? Based on the games on your screen, it looks like you got the XM00007P set. I don't have a list that shows what CAP prom goes with that -- does anyone know for sure? As far as the set chip, I'm pretty sure you need a chip designed for the PE+. I remember once long ago someone saying that they had a chip that could be used for both the S+ and PE+, but I don't know if they were for real and I don't know which set chip they were talking about.

Standard PE+ Games.........SET004 Standard PE+ w/SAS 4.0...SET033 Hope this may help. Ron (r273) Title: Re: Converting my Double Double bonus poker game. Post by: knagl on November 28, 2009, 08:16:27 PM For what it's worth, a SET 38 will also do the trick for a PE+.

Post by: Jimise on November 28, 2009, 10:29:18 PM Jim- The cap that is installed now says capx 1321. A seller on ebay told me about the 2174 cap prom. He said this is the one to use to have the correct colors with the multi poker. I figured one of you experts would know for sure!! Thanks! :96-Yes, the colors are off because the wrong CAP chip is in there. What CAP chip is currently in there?

Post by: jay on November 28, 2009, 11:54:28 PM If you poke around the site, some one created an adapter for a 27c256 to be used instead of the Caprom.
The caproms are based on a discontinued chip which is hard to obtain and then the special way that this particular chip was written too, most modern burners don't support. The adapter basically consisted of a Socket that matches the socket on the board, a socket that matched the 27c256 and a piece of breadboard. The contents of the 1274x could then be burnt onto the 27c256. The latter being a common chip that all eprom burners can read/write. April from Leeman slot sales (link on home page) also had a number of PE+ kits and could likely provide the required caprom. Title: Re: Converting my Double Double bonus poker game. Post by: knagl on November 30, 2009, 03:07:37 AM I double-checked with a friend -- 2174 is the one he uses with his multi-poker games to get the right colors. That said, it is very possible that a different cap chip also would do the trick. He only had one left, though, so he wasn't able to offer it for sale.
Here's the post (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=1391.0) that Jay was talking about. It involves a bit of soldering work, but its doable. If you're not very solder-savvy, you'd likely be better off posting a WTB in the classifieds section for the CAP chip you need -- I'm sure one of our vendors has one of those chips laying around. |
