Title: What key chip should I use Post by: bhinkley on January 28, 2013, 12:01:28 AM I am trying out some various games in my IGame machine. I have found some that when I key them it comes up requiring a bonus device, and my key chip is not allowing me to disable that during the key process. I am using a key 40. What key can I use to be able to get in to disable those settings? I have a price is right one and also a bowzers rock n roll party one that need that disabled. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I haven't heard of that issue before. Have you tried Key 17? Usually, 17 or 40 do the job for me on all my Game Kings (17 for older games and 40 for newer). Key 40 is the replacement for Key 22, so I can't imagine that Key 22 would work where Key 40 wouldn't, but Key 17 is completely different and may do the trick. If you have time, I'd like to see a picture of the error in case I come across it installing an iGame someday. Thanks! :Dave :211- Title: Re: What key chip should I use Post by: coorslight115 on January 28, 2013, 06:05:27 PM I am trying out some various games in my IGame machine.

That is for a S2000. I am going to try going back to a Key 22 to see what that does. If that doesn't work I will have to try a Key 28 to see if I can get in that way. I didn't take any pictures, but basically all it is showing is when you are going through the key chip menu and you get to the peripheral devices the bonus device is enabled and grayed out so you can't disable it. Then when you exit the key chip menu you get a bonus device comm failure and options verification required window so you can't use the machine. :25-

The screen goes purple indicating that the key chip menu has been enabled. Swap base chips back around and upon bootup, you're in key chip mode. :Dave :96- Title: Re: What key chip should I use Post by: coorslight115 on January 28, 2013, 06:21:23 PM Here is some key info

One more thought, that particular setting may need to be more than just keyed ... may also require clear. That would be a bummer, but i-Game slots aren't really time-consuming to setup (as compared to poker themes). :Dave Title: Re: What key chip should I use Post by: coorslight115 on January 28, 2013, 06:28:03 PM Tim - you're awesome.
