I just bought it Thanks, John StatFreak Re: SafeRam Failure « Reply #1 on: January 19, 2008, 10:53:49 PM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't own a Game Maker, but genrerally when you change the battery you will need to perform a ram clear on the machine afterwards to bring it up. btw, welcome to the forum John! I'm sure that someone with more Game Maker experience will chime in here in a few minutes.

It's soldered on the board. Be careful not to burn the board traces. Then, use a CLEAR chip to reset the options. the clear chip goes in socket P10. Also, Turn dipswitch 1, position 7 and 8 on. Attached is the Clear procedure. dansgames |
