You use clear chip in # 10. You should have a manual so you know what your doing.
If you do what it tells you you will not lose other things.

BALLY GAMEMAKER GAME CHANGE



Follow instructions on the screen for what to do and when, some steps listed here may not be applicable to your version of MAINS.

It is best to use a chip puller to remove the chips.  If you do not have one, use a thin blade pocket knife to remove the chip.

Make sure you handle chips carefully and all static electricity is discharged from your body by touching a metal surface before handling the chips or processor board.
 
1.  Open Door.  Power OFF.  Remove processor Board by pulling straight out.

2.  Remove only the unwanted games chips in the P sockets, numbered P1 thru P9.  NOTE: IF YOU CHANGE THE GAME IN SOCKET P10, YOU WILL HAVE TO DO A MAINS TOTAL CLEAR PROCEDURE.

 

3.  Insert new game chips.  IMPORTANT: Be sure the Notch on the chip faces the Notch on the socket or you could BLOW the chip. The large chips take up the whole socket, the smaller chips are set back by 2 positions as shown. 

       


4.  DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WORK!

5.  Reinstall Processor Board, being sure it is fully seated.




6.  Turn Power ON.  After 30 seconds, a message will appear “PLEASE INSTALL CLEAR CHIP”.  Turn Power OFF.
       


7.  Remove Processor Board.  Install CLEAR chip into socket P10.  Reinstall Processor Board.

8.  Turn Power ON.  Set options for the new games.  When finished, tap EXIT in upper right corner.  A message appears, saying “Please Remove Clear Chip”.

     

9.  Turn Power OFF.  Remove Processor Board.  Take CLEAR chip out of socket P10.  Reinstall a game chip, if one was in P10.  Reinstall Processor Board.

10.  Turn Power ON.  A message appears, “GAME DISABLED”.  Turn the reset key once.  Select “Turn On/Off game”.  Tap the newly installed ghosted games to turn them on.  NOTE: some games may require you to set MAX bet limits.  FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN.  When completed, tap EXIT and the new games are ready to play!

     

ok still having problems loading games does it matter if the game is 512 or 1mb seems like all the games that are currently in my board that work are 512?

HI GUS IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS... I BOUGHT MY GAMES FROM TWO DIFFERENT EBAY SUPPLIERS AND IT JUST SAYS NO GAME WHEN I PUT MY NEW GAMES IN. I SENT THE GAMES BACK TO JJSLOTS AND V7000 GAME MAKE JUST SAYS OUT OF SERVICE NO GAMES AVAILABLE. I TURNED ON ALL THE GAMES BUT WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON "IN SERVICE " IT JUST GOES BACK TO THE OUT OF  SERVICE SCREEN.  ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT GUYS THANKS A TON

Some games are one 512 & some are on 1mb. I have some of each in mine


If your chips are right , try a DEBUG chip.

THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY, CAN YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD VENDOR FOR GAMES. ALL THE ONES I GET FROM THIS GUY SAYS NO GAME IN THE BLOCK WHEN INSTALLED

I fixed my problem by changing out the mains and graphic eproms

GREAT THEN YOU WERE ABLE TO ADD NEW GAMES... WHERE DID YOU GET THEM

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE MY CHIPS FROM JJSLOTS ARE NOT KNOW BAD HED SAID I COULD SEND THEM BACK FOR HIM TO EVALUATE. I DIDNT COMPLETE MY PURCHASE FROM OTHER EBAY SELLER LISTING LOTS OF TEN GAMES

I am having the same problem...what does the debug chip do?  and how do you use it??

John

 Debug works same as clear. ( I don't think that is your answer)
Check into the mains & graphics.

PS   Neonkiss is sharp on the Game Maker

Are you saying that I should try to re-install the games and instead of the clear chip use the debug chip?

I have new mains and graphic chips....they seem to be working but not the games?? any help is appreciated...

Hey Chopper901, it looks like you have a problem with your caps lock button too. Just saying as some people think you are shouting at them. Hope you get your machine sorted.

I have a Bally V7200 machine.

I purchased new mains and graphic chips off e-bay....they are V7G100000004-14 and V7M4MPOH5204-24.

I installed them into my machine and again the old games work...but the new games show "NO GAME" in the slot. Did I get the wrong mains and graphic chips? any help is appreciated....I have a debug chip...but have not used it yet.

The games are: Fireball works...Red Hot sevens, stars and bars, triple blazing sevens, and wizard of odds....do not work...new ideas are needed....Thanks
