Title: Fortune 1 chips Post by: deuce23 on March 04, 2013, 04:25:49 PM I picked up a Fortune 1 Draw Poker that I'm trying to bring back to life. I've read through the old posts and it seems to indicate the CG chips might be bad. Is there a way to verify the chips are not corrupt?
If I understand it, the CG chips are character generators and I'm guessing the the other 2 hold the programming. Can anyone confirm my understanding? I bought a reader so that I can start backing up all my software just as soon as I figure out how to use it.

B8 = CAP Chip (Controls the color palettes for the CGs, you will have trouble trying to back this one up unless you have a very expensive programmer) B12 = CG0 (Graphic Chip Part 1) B15 = CG1 (Graphic Chip Part 2) C5 = Program Chip (Game Program Part 1) C7 = Program Chip (Game Program Part 2) The Fortune I was unable to fit the entire program in memory at once, so it had to resort to bank-switching in order to execute all the code and graphics. There is also a separate daughter board that holds 2 chips containing the sounds and music for the game.

Is there a check sum I can compare to? This is for the Fortune I Draw Poker. If anyone has a known good set of chips they would like to sell, let me know how much.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks to Stolistic for clarifying what chips are what. Brian |
