Title: Why can I NOT enable EFT on a GameMaker
Post by: SLOTMAN on March 17, 2012, 07:36:14 PM
I have cleared, cleared, cleared again and re-cleared this thing in addition to trying every single jurisdiction and I can not seem to enable EFT.  I want to make this a EFT machine and when I go through the inital setup it skips right over the EFT and stays set on Disable.  I snapped pics of the mains in use and the inital setup screen.  I cant seem to find anything referencing it in the manual either.  Has anyone else had this problem?

If you went through every jurisdiction, you may have done what I did and locked your jurisdiction. Read the very top thread in this Gamemaker Forum and maybe this will explain things.
Thanks, Jim

No, that isn't the problem. The jurisdiction is unlocked therefore I can go through each one.

In llooking at the picture you supplied the jurisdiction says "locked". Speaking from experience... I "accidently" locked mine and could not clear it  with a clear chip reset.  StatFreak  worked with me on this extensively as I could do nothing with the machine once it was locked.  I ended up getting a GX programmer and by trail and error with Stat's help located the chip that stores that information. The thread should still be here rfor you to read. I could not program the chip  with a new set of instructions but was able to get the chip to all zeros and reinstall it in the machine. Once I did that and restarted the machine I was able to set the jurisdiction and all the game perameters I needed.  I still owe Buzz and Stat alot for helping me with that problem as to this day I am still up and running and have not had any errors or problems since. (knock on wood)..

The picture was taken when the jurisdiction was locked but it wasn't when I went through the settings. I actually have binarie that I rewrite to the chip that allows the unlock.

oh Ok..   I haven't tinkered with mine in a while as far as settings since I enjoy playing the games I have on it.  If I get s second I will check the mains I have installed and see if I can enable the EFT section with the mains I have.

It really seems to be software (mains) related more than jurisdiction because I would go through each jurisdiction and try to turn it on but with every jurisdiction it would skip right past it.
