I am looking for an S2000 Vision ATA and RFA card for my LCD monitor. I need a Wild Cherry Bonus Pie 3 coin Card for the Nevada region chipset. See pics below.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thanks,
Bryan

I need ATA card that will work with the eproms on my mpu board (picture above) For the top box LCD

I think the base chip (SB000081) you have in the
 U21 socket location is for Diamond Jewel Thief? :103-
Not wild Cherry Bonus Pie.  :60-
I could be wrong.

Bunker   Sometimes the same Base chip is used in more than one game theme. Ashron has a slant top Cherry Pie, if needed I can call him and find out his chip number.

Any sounds for the bonus game in the older Vision games comes from the program on the pcmcia card. If you are looking for enhanced spin sounds then a DSV24 or 26 should be used. On the newer Vision games like Ms. LGM, Munster Match, Pink Panther, etc. the enhanced spin and other sounds are also on the pcmcia card.  :25- Or are you looking for the programmed Wild Cherry Pie pcmcia card for the top box?

Also listed SB for WCP is SB000011 and SB000014. 14 is for the 2 coin.

Would his SB00081 chip work in that 3 coin game he has?

I am looking for the simm card that goes in the top box. Its for the BONUS pie game.

I dont know if any other problems will occur until I get the LCD to work... It wont load up without it, So I don't even know if the game software is correct or not.

The PCMCIA card that goes into the top slot of the LCD computer is called
the ATA card - which contains the BGM and DATA files.
It may also contain all the sound files your game will need but sometimes you
need a game specific DSV sound SIMM card that goes onto a piggyback board called
a Multimedia Lite II  board also known as an MMLBII.
Another board that's really an older plain-jane MMLB piggyback board
uses eprom chips that house the sound files -
rather than the newer SIMM sound card.

The BGM files, ATA files, Game Program (SG chips GME 1&2) , Base program (SB chip) ,
and Version chip must all be compatible which each other in order to function properly.

On top of that, the proper RFA card is initially needed to upload
the correct window files for the LCD computer.

All of the lists I have show your SB00081 chip as not being a
Wild Cherry Pie w/ Bonus Wheel, but for another game really.
But as Buzz said, some of these games are compatible and work with other games.
It's highly possible that the SB00081 chip you have installed on the
board in the photo will work with your WCP w/Bonus Wheel -
I cannot confirm this though...

I think you should take Tacman's advice and get an SB00011 chip for your 3 coin game.
You may also need the ATA card and the proper RFA upload card to get the LCD computer up and running as well.

Once you get all the proper pieces of the puzzle together, look at this.

Thanks Bunker for all the info. :3-

I do have the newest MMBII board for it.

 I just need the ATA and RFA cards. I hope I can find them somewhere. Are they hard to come by?

Thanks for everyones help so far.

"Are they hard to come by?"  Hmm... :103- that depends really...
I'd have to say yes... and here's a couple of reasons why this is so.

I think your game title is more popular than others so it might be easier to find.
It was somewhat popular than others and more plentiful.
Think of a Maserati and a Chevy - there's more Chevy's out there.
The problem is this: I think some of the casinos pull the LCD computer card
out before they sell the machine to the wholesalers.

So, a lot of wholesalers are left with Visions with no cards to run them.
On top of that, the wholesalers don't want to part with the cards,
because it's the only ones they have for the machine they're trying to sell.

On top of the home page of this website, are the listings and ads for various slot vendors.
Utilize their phone numbers and get on the handle. It may be your only option besides
a want ad for what you want here in the "Classifieds" section of NLG.

Can you give us the recent history of this machine at all?
I'm curious as to why you bought a machine that had no software.
Did you know it wasn't going to work or what?
Whomever sold you this machine surely must of known how
difficult it is to get software for this particular platform.

Or are you trying to build a whole machine from parts you've obtained?

I bought the machine for $225, I thought it was a steal. It came from the Golden nugget. I bought it from a guy I have been buying from here in AZ. He told me all it needed was the LCD monitor and the simm card, but I found out it was called the ATA card. I found a monitor for $25. I thought I could find the card easily. He also told me I could play the machine without the LCD monitor, but it seems it wont boot up until I hook it up. It does a self test upon startup and looks for the monitor, then when it cant find it, it locks up. Is there a way I can take one of the eproms out and just use it as a standard s2000?

Absolutely! It's an S2000 machine at heart after all.
The LCD computer is really just an option for the Vision platform.
You don't need the LCD computer to play S2000 kits.
You will need a different S2000 SB game chip/glass/strips kit to play a different
game title for example such as Double Diamond Haywire or a Red, White & Blue game.

The SB chip there in the MPU now is an SB chip that's "looking"
for the bonus game module. (A Vision game)
That's what "BGM" stands for...lol
Earlier, I explained that the ATA card will contain a folder that has the BGM files.
Without that ATA card and proper BGM file folder, the machine below will not start.
It needs the BGM in order to function.
