Title: Vision "Munster Match" Red Screen of Death!!!
Post by: stayouttadabunker on February 23, 2012, 03:50:13 AM
I've never had this game before....1st time at the rodeo.

I'm getting the dreadful Vision "ERROR: There's Some Required Components Missing"
and the red screen of death....  :47-
I'm thinking that my RFA10025 OS is too old to run the game?
Are there newer ones for the Vision platform?
I wish the machine at least told me what in the world is "missing"??? :37-  
Guess you gotta be a slot tech to know this one... :72-

I'm trying to get my Vision Muster Match up.
It's the round top with purple glass.
Here's what's installed...>>>

SB000414 3R5L5CM
SG000380 GME1&2
VS011GX1
DSV000020

Side LCD Slot: Had the RFA10025 OS (operating system) uploaded
Top LCD Slot: Have a 64MB flash card with 4 folders named:
ATA10055
BGM00000
BGM00141
DATA

What could I be missing?


Thanks for any help on this....  :131-

That's good. Thanks BR!  :3-
Kudo's plus to you!
I have the same stuff but my SG GME1&2 chips differ
even though the PSR sheet shows that it supports the Munster Match game.
Something's wrong but I can put my finger on it other than I may need an
up-graded RFA OS card that goes into the side slot of the LCD computer for the initial Boot Up.

I'm using the RFA10025 version for the computer.
I don't know what your SM9FLATA20TIGT  operating system version is? RFA100009 maybe?
That would actually be an older OS version.
The only way to know is to see the RFA version number on the 2nd screen as it boots up.
I gotta dig around for more info I guess...

Below is a screen snapshot of my LCD during Boot Up of the game.
You can clearly see that I have the RFA10025 OS operating system installed on my LCD computer.
Plus I highlighted it!  :72-

I googled "SM9FLATA20TIGT" and got a hit on the internet as...>>>

http://www.vendio.com/stores/Mem-store.com/item/flash-memory/new-20mb-pcmcia-ata-flash-card/lid=7508120 (http://www.vendio.com/stores/Mem-store.com/item/flash-memory/new-20mb-pcmcia-ata-flash-card/lid=7508120)


I called them up...turns out that they're from the UK and the cards have been erased! :8-
They are selling them as blanks and did NOT save any info/data that was on them..... :60-
Those were, at one time,  IGT OEM RFA cards!!!! :25-

Plus everybody else sells blank CF ATA flash cards for about $16 with free shipping
and this dummy wants $48 for an erased blank!  :30-

Guys were asking me how to back up their cards.
It's a no brainer...get one of these puppies...cost about $5...>>>

They go right into an empty PCI slot on a desktop computer motherboard.
And if you have a hard time getting the larger cards, they make adapter cards where the smaller memory flash cards fit right into...>>>

Are those cards ever actually erased or are the first couple bits of the file just removed to prevent access?

No idea cowboy... :5-
The guy told me that they were "erased" so they could be sold to the public.
They just didn't remove the labels.

Just wondering Bunker. I know on your computer harddrive when you "delete" a file the computer just removes the first few bits of the file to prevent access. I didn't know if a guy could plug one into his computer and add those bits back to make it work again

Interesting...but how would anyone know what the bits were?  :5-

Being IGT I would bet they use the same protocol on all their similar software so the initial access part of the program would probably be written the same as the program from a similar game. Just a thought :103- Kind of like how a lot of chidrens books start out with "Once upon a time..."

Maybe not, just a thought...

Post by: stayouttadabunker on February 23, 2012, 10:15:51 PM
Well, I don't want to waste $48 bucks on something
that might be no good and partially or completely erased!
I'm going to place an ad for the SG's.
I think I have most of the software.


Title: Re: Vision "Munster Match" Red Screen of Death!!!
Post by: cowboygames on February 23, 2012, 10:28:40 PM
Yeah, they're a little cost prohibitive:( Good luck Bunker, you'll git-r-done for sure :89-

I'm trying some SG000248's  (GME 1&2) as we speak.
I don't know what ATA version it needs for support though.
I don't have a PSR for the 248's...arghhH!!!   
DOn't ya love trying to get a new game up?  :72-

Nope don't work...something's wrong.
I'm watching this video clip for the first time to see what is in the Boot Up screens...>>>

Got it working!  :89-
Had the wrong flash card & version chip configurations.  :25-

I am verifying that the "Munster Match" Vision game works fine using:

SB chip:  SB000414 on a 502 MPU
SG pairs: SG000380 GME1&2 or SG000248 GME1&2
Version:  VS009GX0 w/SG000248 or SG000380.
             VS001GX1 w/SG000380 only
MMLBII sound SIMM stick: DSV000020 or SNDF00020
OS side-slot card: RFA10025
Top-slot game card: ATA10065, BGM00141, BGM0000, DATA

I don't know about other MPU, other Version chips, other RFA's, or other ATA versions.
I do have a few RFA, ATA, and Version chips to test with later on...
I do not own a 504 or later MPU.
I simply haven't tried them...uh...yet!  :72-

I don't have any strips yet but I'm working on that!  :79-
This is just a project I've been gathering the pieces and putting together...
I call it work in progress!  :96-

Here's a short video clip of what I was able to accomplish so far!   :71-
It's kinda fun putting these old games together from parts from NLG members all over the world!  :72- ...>>>

Why did it play Beverly Hillbillys sounds when you cashed out?

 :72- I programmed it to my ATA10065 printer file folder!
Every flash card has a printer sound folder.
All you do is change it to whatever you want.
Remember, a flash card is just like an old memory card for a camera.
Mine don't have the fancy, schmancy IGT stickers on them...just a plain ol' "Compact Flash 48KB" sticker on it! lol
They were very common about 10 years ago for digital photgraphy.
It's no different and there's absolutely nothing special about them - they're just CF memory sticks really.
You can save your pictures to it then pull it off to save them on your computer right?
Same deal here but it's .wav sounds instead of .jpeg pictures.

Soooo....I grabbed a sound byte off the internet somewhere, edited it to fit the time allotted to the cashout sound (about 76kb),
stuck in to printer sound folder but it's still named "Printer 1" so the computer "finds" it.
Whenever the computer calls for the file that has the "Printer 1" - it plays whatever sound you put in there!

You can change any sound you want with a Vision machine....that's why I like playing around with them.
I particularly like the show ending sound theme from the Beverly Hillbillies as last thing I hear when I leave the machine -
it's a fitting sound to hear when cashing out..."Y'all come back now!"   :96-

Good video Bunker, but the golf one was better, IMHO. Nice drive, what clubs do you use?


Title: Re: Vision "Munster Match" Red Screen of Death!!!
Post by: BR549 Auto Sales on March 07, 2012, 01:35:22 PM
Can you also install your own custom sounds for the reel spin sounds, roll uo sounds, etc?

yes, you can change anything you want in a compact flash camera card.

 :72- You SAW that!? I only had it on there for a few minutes by mistake!!! lol
I hammered that sucker with a new R11 Taylormade driver!
I use Cleveland Red TP irons (3-SW) w/Zip Groove wedges and a 12 year old Cleveland TP putter.
I installed my own Project X steel Rifle 6.0 shafts on all my irons.

I wanna pick up a matching 3-wood when I head down to Myrtle Beach next month!
My old Callaway Big Bertha SteelheadII's aren't what they used to be anymore.

LOL! You gotta be quicker on the trigger than that around here Bunker :97- Good club choice, all of mine are Taylor Made :89- My driver's a Burner. In fact, I'll be putting some wear and tear on them here in about 2 weeks :251- :222- :250-
Actually, that"s not entirely correct, my putter's a PING

The reason i asked about changing the roll up sounds, spin reels sounds, etc. is that i am trying to build a custom slot machine for my dad and would like to have certain sounds for the game theme. Will this work on an early vision game such as a Red White And Blue Bonus Spin slot machine?

Tiger went back to his old college-days black Ping Anser putter grip!
He's gonna do some damage this summer if he figures it out how to get the ball in the hole!!  :72-

oh yeah! All you gotta do is see if your flash card has the sound (SNDF) folders and you can change anything!
Throw in a marching band or something game specific?
Maybe if you lose a bonus round - "taps" play? I dunno...it's endless what you can do!
Just use your imagination!
I've always hated the crappy SIMM cards anyways...they work for some games but
one can do better!
