Title: Back up Bluebird
Post by: hd474 on December 16, 2011, 05:15:23 PM
I will get my first Bluebirds soon (one Video and one mechanical Reels). Since I'm completely new to WMS machines, I'm trying to get as much info as possible. As far as I know, the game is stored in two CF cards (one for the game itself, one for the matching OS). When I want to back up those cards (I've had some back experiences with CF cards in my camera...:-() do I have to consider something special?

I'll be in Vegas in January, is there any place where I can buy game kits (I'm pretty sure to make a stopover in Laughlin)? I would like to have "John Wayne", "Zeus II" "Sabertooth" or something similar.. These games should work in a Bluebird 1 if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks in advance

Jens

Williams has spent much money to prevent the copying of their material. Other slot machine manufacturers have done the same. It has mostly to do with security and encryption.

How can a CF card be protected from someone making a back up for themselves?
It's just a flash card?
Does it have the little sliding button on the side?   :5-

No sliding buttons, just a simple looking flash card like you said. But I'm guessing they are protected at boot up. It's one reason they take so long to reboot...I guess you could copy one though if you can copy the flash card image to a file and then burn it to another... :103-
