Will all of S+ games work in an S2000?  I am thinking of selling my S+ machines and going only to S2000's  :200-
But I have some game kits I dont want to get rid of.  Where does that leave me???    :103-

AS for as I know all S+ games will play in a S 2000 You will need a SB001000 Base chip and the SS (reel chip ) from your S+ game. You will not be able to change the pay % it will be what ever SS chip your using.  Maybe I should have said all standard S+ games, Barcrest, only Bunker could do that one.

Thanks Buzz, I had read some post similar to this but couldn't find them when I searched.. :200-
I don't have any Barcrest...yet  :97-
I really hate to sell my S+ "tanks"  :5-  but I just don't have the room for all of them  :37-

lol...Barcrests....uh uh...not interested... :96-

Yeah, I totally agree with Buzz...if you get yourself an SB100100 chip -
you will be able to run just about any S+ game.
Have fun!

Bunker  Just so we don't confuse Magicslots  he will need a SB001000 base chip

Some S+ specialty sounds may change in the S2000.  The cool S+ respin till you win tunes on my Bulls-eye changed to a boring "we're in the money" melody on the S2000.  I didn't see anywhere where I could change it, so it didn't stay in there long.

You just can not use ST (S+ tournament) chips.
You will have to find a Tournament Base chip for that theme if it exists.

    :127-

What me confused..err..uhh what did I say my name was?  :279-

Seriously though, if I have to sell my "tanks"  which I hate to do, because its kinda like your first car, or your first gun.. :264-

you hate to get rid of them, but space is at a premium in this tiny cracker-box of a house I live in!  :37-  I still want to be able to use my S+
kits, so this option should work out fine.  Heck I might even make a little money selling all the spare S+ parts I have accumulated to go towards another
S2000 that I dont realy have room for  :208-

While I am at it...with  a S2000 machine with a backlit reel setup, will the S+ games light the reels
etc etc? like the 2000's???   :103-

Don't forget the minimum chip speed for S+ chips in S2000.. 120ns I believe is minimum speed

Thanks Brianzz  :131-  Another dumb question....wait for it...
how the heck do I tell which chip is what speed??   :58-

You have to peel the label off, 27c64 120 / 27c64 100 / 27c64 150/  the last number is the speed in NanoSeconds (NS)

 :293-    I knew it would be something simple that I was too stupid to rationalize.... :299-

What about the backlit reel question???    :125-  Just smack me around a bit..I am gettin old and the wiring has a few too many shorts in it!  :72-

the back-lit worked on all I tried. Haywire was neet ! :3-

 :185-      Too sweet!  Maybe I will sell the S+ machines after all...if I sell em both, that should be enough  :56-
to buy me a nice S2000 3 reeler to play with....
 :284-  for all the help!

I know I asked this question a few years ago but I've long forgotten what the answer was... :5-

Uh...what chip is faster the 150ns chip or the 120ns chip?
I've never really understood that "theory"... :96-
Would a 90ns chip work?

120 is faster than 150ns

less time = faster chip

Mark I have always been led to believe the smaller the number the faster the chip.  Where's the geeks when you need one!!!!!!!!!

Huh  Guess found one,  Thanks Bill

Thanks guys! Especially for answering my question again...lol  :131-

Hey!   I'm not a geek, I'm a nerd! :186-

Nerd = Network Emergency Response Dude.

And I get that call at least once a week, unfortunately. We have a group that is supposed to handle these issues...

Okay, I gave Buzz some incorrect information when the subject of capacitor values came up the last time we talked on the phone, and it's been bugging me ever since. I was going to simply correct myself the next time we talked, but too much time has passed. (Buzz, you never call me anymore!  :8- :8-   :72- :72- :72- )

This seems like the place to post. The Greek letter Mu (μ) stands for micro (1 millionth), not 1 billionth, so μF stands for micro-Farads. Sorry Buzz. :88-


m  =  milli     = 0.001  (thousandth)
μ   =  micro  = 0.000001 (millionth)
n  =  nano   = 0.000000001 (billionth)
p  =  pico     = 0.000000000001 (trillionth)


So 120ns stands for nanoseconds, which is 120 billionths of a second (or 0.12 millionths of a second) and refers to the latency, or the shortest period of time that can occur between requests for data. If a more powerful computer sends requests for data faster than the chip can handle, errors result because the chip can't respond fast enough. A 120ns chip can respond to requests in less time than a 150ns chip, hence we say that it's "faster".

Stat :31-

Just to follow up on the NERD comments.

Chicks dig nerds.

Is there a place that will tell me how to change out my game/reel chips on a S2000 machine?  Not even sure where they are located.

Yep...NLG!    :72-

Clique on la photo to enlarge>>>

Where's that board located?  Does it lift out like the S+ one?

It's in the drawer in the bedroom.... jk




See the vertical silver metal handle on the left wall?
Looks like pretty colored LED light bulbs underneath it?
Pull on it.
Make sure the power is "OFF" 1st....please!

LOL.. Thanks

Watch your left thumb! Not kidding.  :72- :72- :72-

OK,  I just got in my S+ SS reel and Base chip for haywire (Money Storm).  Am I correct that I just replace the base chip in my S2000 with the new one and plug the reel chip in and turn the machine on and it will be ready to go?  I think the reel chip is a few pins short but I may be wrong.

You may have to do a clear and would bet money you will have to do a Key set up.  Note in Pic. where the SS chip needs to be installed. 

You will not need to do a clear or key unless you want to change key menu settings, or change accounting denom (clear requireed to change accounting denom)
the SS ROM must be placed towards the un-notched end of the socket so that Pins 1,2 and 31,32 are empty (notched end of socket)

K+ to everyone who has posted great information in this thread.  I'm halfway tempted to type up a summary of all the info for a sticky or a FAQ page -- do you guys think that'd be useful for folks in the future?

Kevin  I'm sure this isn't the last time this question will be ask.  I would say sticky away.

Well, here's my post (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=11690.0).  I'd appreciate it if someone who has done this before could look over the post and let me know if I missed anything or if there's anything that needs to be corrected.  (I assumed that Key 17 was the correct keychip to use, for example.)  If anything needs to be fixed, please let me know so I can edit the post.

David (or someone else), can you sticky that post (http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=11690.0)?  Thanks!   :89-

Looks good to me !!   :3- :3- :3- :244- :244-  K+

Done. It's so sticky I'll have to go wash my hands.  :200- :30- :97- :97- :97-

Too much info, Stat, too much info...  :86-

Stat!! Stop stroking the Spam !!! It is sticky!!  :200- :208- :208-
