SP070 very early Game (SP) chip, the Game or SP chip is the operating system for the machine.
SS3635 is the reel (SS) chip, the reel chip determines what game theme is, any special features and what payback percentage is as well.

The glass and reel strips are a custom theme based on Purple Passion.
Over the long term your machine will payback 85.096%.

I searched the IGT S+ game bible to find the original theme since your theme was not listed directly in the 3 Coin Multiplier (3CM) section

Type SS3635 site:http://www.newlifegames.net/igtbible into your google search box if you use Firefox
The above works for other SS chip numbers as well.

Here is a link to the purple passion theme.

hey thanks for the help on this here is are some other pics of it oh and can you tell me what mhz board it has by chance

It is 10Mhz, but you can tell by looking at the silver component near processor/

That is one early S+ machine.

yeah it is i picked it up for 160.00 needs a new batt and needed keys for the jackpot reset so now that i have that stuff i will replace the batt tonight and see what she does so i may need more help we will see

Good luck with it.  Let us know if you run into any trouble.

Here's the list of common S+ errors should you run into any: http://www.newlifegames.net/igterrors/

ok well i got the code 12 to clear then i had a 61 in the winner paid now that is gone but its not taking coins what should i look for now or do?

I don't know enough about the platform to know if it would make a differance I guess, but is that an S+ or an S model?

s+

First make sure the sample coin in the back of the coin comparator is the same as what you are trying to use. In other words it has a quarter and not a token if you are using quarters. also make sure it even has a coin. If that does not work, with the door open, press the little test button the arrow points to and see if it puts a credit on the machine. You should be able to play the credit with the door open.

 

never mind i got it working did not know you had to put a coin in the coin mech for what size coin you what it to take so thanks for your help guys and the info on this game you guys rock

ok so i cant seem to find a options menu list does anyone have it that they can share i want to go in the menu and see what does what and maybe change some things but when i go in there im lost and i dont what to mess the game up thanks

Going by the picture you posted, you have a SP070 game chip. It might be hard to find a PSR (Program Summary Report) that lists the options for that chip.

So, first go to this link
http://www.newlifegames.net/spset/SPSS.htm (http://www.newlifegames.net/spset/SPSS.htm)
and follow the directions to verify what the game chip number is. For all we know it may be labeled wrong. Post the numbers that are displayed (all of them).

If it is a SP070 and nobody has a PSR for it, you may be better off just getting an updated game chip. The newer SP chips have more options anyway. I'm assuming the game is a type 0 (the test above will tell us) and something like a SP1271 would be the best.

ok will do that later on today and let you guys know =)

ok well i had a little time before i have to leave for work so this is what it tells me when i get the coins played using the test it only shows the 3635 and sits on that no other #'s come up or flash at all just hew 4 and in the winning 3635

Well, the SS3635 checks out. As noted above it's a clone game of Double Diamond which is a type 0. If you want, shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send you a SP1271 (no charge).

Ok, while you are waiting for the SP1271, attached is the PSR. Also you may want to read the thread linked below to get an idea of the common settings. Since you don't have a BV, you can ignore any references to it.

BTW, I am also sending you a better % reel chip and a clear chip. You should not need to do a clear, but in case you do, it's handy to have.

ok sounds good thx

K+ (or whatever we're calling it today) to you, Poppo, for your generous offer to ShadyNova.

yep i just gave him a  :259-

Chips were mailed this morning.  When you put in the SP1271, you are going to get some errors. Just use the guide to clear them. Then if you have any questions about options, someone here can help. Changing the reel chip might toss up an error, but it won't affect any options. Be sure to install the chips in the right direction, and be careful not to bend any pins. Also never pull the MPU out or put it in with power on.

To be clear, I was stating that I was giving him a K+, not that I was instructing you to do so (although it was perfectly correct for you to do so, too!).  :89-

hey thx for the chips i got them today now when i go to install them do i have to get the credits to 0 or can i leave them but then i cant set the settings

It should not matter about the credits as they will get wiped out anyway when you change the chips. It's all part of the security. I suggest changing the game chip first (the SP1271), clear the errors and get it all set up the way you want. Then if you want, change the reel chip.

Have the error clearing guide handy as you will get several, especially since you will be switching to such a newer SP chip.

Note: You do have to have zero credits to change options. Also note that the SP1271 does not use the dip switches on the MPU, so they can just be left as is.

ok thanks i will let you know how it goes and again thx for the chips

ok installed the game chip and i dont get any thing showing

You did install it in the right socket and not upside down, no bent pins right? I verified it was good before I sent it.

There is a removable jumper by the game chip, what pins are it on? It should be on the two pins closest to the CMOS chip.

yep i did install it right and the jumper is on the right pins out of the 3 pins

See my edit about the jumper (not sure which direction you mean by "right").  You are getting no display at all?

yep no display at all should i move to the other one

game
rom
...
._   .=pins _=jumper

chip here

does this help?

If it's not already there, move it to the two pins that are closest to the CMOS chip.

ok working now thx

humm ok i get a 61 i di the test button for 2-3 secs oen the door then close it and then turn the jackpot key then i get a 01 in the winner paid and coins played i get a 1 but i cant get the error to come off

Will it take coins? That does not sound like an error code. Did the reels do their maiden spin? Was the hopper in when you cleared the 61?

nope but then i press the test button for 2-3 secs it done show a 61_1 it just sits at 61 in the winners paid and the other 2 credits and coins played are blank

Ok, lets start from scratch.

Power down the machine with the hopper in.
Power it up. If you get a 61, with the door open, press the self test button until it changes to 61_1.
Close AND latch the door and turn the reset key. Let us know what happens next.

ok i powered dow back up and held the test button in for 30secs to a min and still no 61_1 it just sits at 61

Hmmm...

Ok. Power down the machine and remove the hopper and MPU. Replace the game chip with that clear chip. Don't move any jumpers or anything

Put the mpu back in (leave the hopper out).

With the door open, power up the machine.

Wait a couple of seconds and press the self test button. The display should count up a couple of times.

When it's done, power down the machine and put the SP1271 back in. Put the MPU and hopper back in and try again.

k -STORM +++++++++++

for all who are helping with this thread -  truly shows the NLG community

I could probably use some help as the stuck 61 (no 61_1) is a new one for me.  :103- The clear should fix it though. If not, I'm stumped.  :5-

I wish I could help-  the 61_1 usually clears quickly

Oh, you are pressing the self test button by the power switch (the one you used to check the chip numbers) and not the one on the coin optics board mentioned earlier in the thread, correct???

yes im pushing the white test button by all the power and still 61 no 61_1

well i put the old game chip back in and it works just fine so i guess i did not mess any thing up lol thank god =)

well now i just won it spit out the coins and the bell is ringing and i cant get it to stop by jackpot key or test switch then i close the door it just starts ringing

It's pretty hard to mess up one of these boards.

Did you try to do the clear? I would definitely try that.

Did you move the jumper back when you put your game chip back in?

Hmmm... I wonder if your jackpot key is working.

If you can't get it to stop, you can pull the CMOS chip out for a few seconds and put it back in. That will cause it to lose it's credit count.

But I really would do the clear at this point.

yes the jackpot key works there are no credits i won 6 and it paid 6 out of the hopper i will look it over in the morning and see what i can come up with

FYI, the EEPROM on the motherboard (the board the MPU plugs into) and the CMOS keep all of the settings and other information. Different versions of the SP chip have different formats of how the data is stored. Since you have a very old SP chip, I think running the clear chip is the best option. Basically it deletes everything in the EEPROM and CMOS, and the newer game chip can start fresh instead of possibly getting confused with how the old data was stored. You "should" have gotten some other errors besides the 61 when you switched the SP chip. That's probably why the 61 got stuck.

well i did the clear chip and then put in the new chip and as soon as i turn it on it shows 61 but if i press the test button and then the jackpot switch it shows something else its like it goes in to the setup menu

ok just did a clear chip then put in the new chip i get 61 when i press the test switch it dont do any thing but then i close the door and do the jackpot switch i get a 01 in winner paid and 1 in the coins played and then is i flip the jackpot switch again i get an 02 in the winner paid ans still 1 in the coins played

so i keep on flipping the jackpot key it goes upto 08 then i got an 01 in winners pais and in the coins played it show 2 so i flip the jackpot key and then 9999 winner pais credits 9999 and coins played 9 flip the jackpot key and a 00 in the winner paid coins played 3 and so on

That is really strange. Turning the jackpot key sounds like it's just going into accointing mode.

Let's back up a bit. When you put in the clear chip, and pressed the self test button did it count up twice like it was supposed to?

When you put the game chip in, (to get the 61), is the door already open? If not, try it by leaving the door open when you power it up. If you are not getting a 61_1 something is wrong. Turning the reset key before getting the 61_1 is useless.  

However, looking at the earlier posts, I wonder how you got the 61 to clear without getting a 61_1. So, just for the heck of it, let's assume your display has an issue. So when you get the 61 and press the self test button, does it "ding" at all? The ding is the indicator that the it has done it's thing. Whether it dings or not, after you have held the self test button for 3 seconds, close the door (and latch it) and just turn the jackpot key one time only. Wait a few seconds, and power down the machine and turn it back on (door closed this time). Tell us what it does. Does the 61 come back?

Also just for the heck of it, pull the CMOS chip out and reseat it.

Stop turning the reset key.

When you're at the 61 error, press and hold the white self test button for five seconds, which should turn the error to a 61-1. Then, and only then, close the door fully, latch it securely, and then turn the reset key.

If you are never getting the 61-1, don't turn the reset key as it won't help you and will only serve to add confusion.

If you are not getting to 61-1, please run the clear chip again, and tell us in detail the exact steps you're taking with the clear chip so we can see if you're using it correctly.

However, looking at the earlier posts, I wonder how you got the 61 to clear without getting a 61_1. WITH THE NEW CHIP IN I HAVE NEVER GOT IT TO CLEAR

Wait a few seconds, and power down the machine and turn it back on (door closed this time). CANT THE POWER SWITCH IS INSIDE THE GAME

when i do that it just sits there and does nothing it just sits at 61

With the old chip, did you indeed get the 61_1?

As knagl  mentioned, you might try running the clear again since you had put your original chip back in since then.

You can always use the power cord to power it up with the door closed. I was mainly curious as to what comes up when the door is already closed.

One more thing to try. The jumper for the reel chip should also be over to the same side as the CMOS chip. You might try putting both jumpers over to that side, run the clear, then put both the game chip and reel chip I sent you in, and try again.

When you get around to messing with this some more, please post a detailed step by step of what you are doing. Sometimes it's just one little detail that that will help determine what the issue is, or if a step was missed.

Also, to back up a bit abut the question I asked above. When you first changed the battery with your original chip, you said that you were able to clear the 61. Did you get the 61_1 when you were trying to clear it then?

if i remember right yes i think i got the 61_1 when i put in the old chip this time i did a clear before that and i got a 61 then it was a 65_1 it never went to a 61_1 the game works fine on the old chip on the new one before i installed the new one i used the clear chip and then installed the game chip that's when i got the 61 but i cant get pasted that point hope this helps i have never unplugged it just used the power switch

Even that sounds odd. A 61 should always need to be cleared by going to 61_1.

In any case, I would suggest the following in this exact order.

1 With power off, pull the MPU out an put both of those jumpers by the game and reel chip toward the CMOS side.
2. Install the the reel chip I sent you, and install the clear chip. Pull the CMOS chip out for a few seconds and then put it back in.
3. Put the MPU back in (leave the hopper out) and power it up.
4. After a few seconds press the self test button and verify that the display counts up a few times (tell us what it counted to)
5. When it's done, power down the machine and remove the MPU.
6. Remove the clear chip and install the SP1271 (don't move any jumpers).
7. Put the MPU back in and the hopper too.
8. With the door open, power up the machine (tell us exactly what takes place at this point).
9. If you get anything other than a 61, follow the directions for clearing ithose errors.
10. When you get the 61, see if pressing and holding the self test for a few seconds will change it to 61_1. If it does not change, do not do anything else (like turning the reset key) and proceed to step 11
11. power down the machine. Unplug the power cord from wherever it's plugged in.
12. Turn on the power switch inside and close and latch the door. The machine will not be powered at this point.
13. Plug the power cord in and see what happens. If you get the 61 again, open the door and try to clear it as usual.

ok i will let you know i may get a chance to look at it later on today if not then tomorrow

Any updates on this?

nah not yet i just have not had the time to mess with it but i will post when i mess with it

That would be funny if shadynova's name is Mark!!! :208-

sorry guys work has me busy and by the time i come home i just what to sit and kick it and not even look at that game so maybe this weekend i can have a look at it and see what i can get it to do and not do

ok im installing new chips in the so i can sell it and im getting a 61 i have tryed what you said in here and it just sits there like im not doing any thing when i press the self test here are the chips i have installed in the slot sp1311 and a st0001 any info on how to get this to work would be great thanks so much guys

Ok, so you get a 61 and pressing the self test button does nothing? Does your machine have some sort of door optics bypass?

not that i know of

so anyone know what i can do to get this thing working right it has something to do with the chips i think as when i install the other chips i got from here i think it did the same thing

Are you sure the self test button works? Can you post some pictures of the inside of the machine (and inside edge of the door where the optics are)?

yes the self test button works and i have replaced the door optics not long ago maybe 2 months ago

Not the sourse of you pronlem, but it does not look like you have a coin in your CC.

Did you try what I suggested earlier of pulling the p[ower cord from the wall, leve the internal switch on, close and latch the door, then plug in the machine. If you ge the 61, open the door and then try to clear it.

them pics are old i have a coin in there now and yep i tryed that still the same prob i just dont get it work fine if i install you reel chip and my old game chip but if i replace the game chip it dont work

And you moved those jumpers correct?

yep they are both on the same side as the cmos chip

Well, I am out of ideas. I don't think the game chip is bad as you would get a checksum error code. Got a clear chip?

yep i have used that and still same code im lost at what this thing is doing

Ok, after re-reading the whole thread, I am stumped. Might be best to just put your old SP chip back, in since apparently that works.

Move the jumper to the other pin by the SP chip where printed by Game Chip on board, you have a smaller sized chip with the SP0070, can't believe no chip "specialist" with years of experience didn't know this 4 pages ago

He already changed the jumper after he switched from the SP0070 to the SP1271, which is the SP he is trying to get working now.
