Title: What the %#$ kind of S2000 board is this? what key chip would it need?
Post by: Britanski on March 11, 2013, 08:12:20 PM
Well I'm new to the slot-owning stuff but I've done plenty of research on the parts and... this is not the board I'm used to seeing.   :103-  Possible because it's a Slant Top?
This one has only 3 slots... One for "Boot"?, one for "SB", then an "SS" which I think is for an S+ chip.  But there are no other Prom slots like others I've seen on other S2000 boards

I see the generic S+ base chip.

It's a 5 reel, 40 line, Double 3x4x5x pay machine.  I need a key chip and would also like to upgrade the basic sound scheme.
I asked the vendor to send a key chip with the machine but got nothing...not even a reply.

That's an R board and is game specific to your theme.

Somehow I thought that would be the answer... lol.  Thanks neon.

You can buy a legacy adapter board for it though that would allow you to put any other eprom based s2000 game in it. The adapter isn't very expensive

Wow, that sounds like a good fix. But in searching... I came up with no real products for this unit. 
I found some for other machines, esp. the video units. But not for the 'R' board.

Can you send a link?

Most of the vendors on this site would have the legacy board for your enhanced mpu. The MPU board you have is called a 1270 board due to the model number of it. The 'R' board is only that top board that sits on the main MPU

Take a look at the pictures in Raz's ebay add and you'll see the legacy board on top of the same MPU that you have.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IGT-S2000-ENHANCED-MPU-BOARD-MEMORY-1-/190520245511?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5be43d07 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/IGT-S2000-ENHANCED-MPU-BOARD-MEMORY-1-/190520245511?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5be43d07)

When you switch you need the sound simm, game chips, base chip, and version chip. Also the clear and key chips are different than what the R board would use.

Oh perfect, Thank you!     :88-

He had another auction for just the enhanced board so I bought that one. 

I see my R board is 2007 where the MB is 2004, same as the enhanced board I ordered.  Since the machine was mfg in 2007, I hope I can find the chips I need for this 5 reel, 40 line game.   

Best place to get the chips?    :103-

Check with coorslight

Yeah Coors is a good option. I've bought a few from him.

Just an FYI...Age of parts doesn't typically matter too much. Certain parts go with other parts but age isn't usually a way to tell that.

The non-enhanced boards (502, 504, etc) have a sound board that can go on top for enhanced sound. The non enhanced MPUs have a particular motherboard that they go with.

The enhanced board (1270) can either run older eprom based games with the legacy adapter board or they can run flash based boards built specifically for a single game (R board). The R board allows the games to have more lines or more game play options due to the fact that it isn't as limited on size as an epprom based game set would be. You couldn't have the 247 ways to win type games without the R board. Same goes for the 15 and 20 line games that I have R boards for.


I just reread your last post and I see that you have a 40 line game. There may not be eprom chips for it, it may only come in the R board. Is there something wrong with your R board that would cause you to need to switch?

Great, Thanks guys...

Yeah, I've been places that have a sh*t-load of chips avail and didn't see anything for a 5R, 40L 3x4x5x game so I may be SOL on that.  Maybe I'll ask in another post.
Actually, I just wanted to see about upgrading the base sound scheme.  Maybe a different SB chip is all I need for this R board?  This just has the 'SB 001000'.

I've not used my R boards yet so I'm not 100% but I think all of the enhanced sounds are built into the board itself. I'm not sure you can pick and choose sounds options like you can with other games by trying different sound SIMMs.

There should be an option in your settings to switch from legacy sounds to enhanced sounds. I think that is the only option you would have but again I'm not 100%

That might be the case.  Unfortunately the only option it gives is Stereo or Mono.  No enhanced.

It may be a key chip option. I wouldn't think it would be but it might.

Have you tried putting in a Key chip to see which options are added?

Hopefully someone with more R board knowledge than me will jump in and steer you in the right direction.

There is a thread on here somewhere about the chips in the R boards. I think it was originally started by Ford and there was a lot of good info about them throughout the thread. I'll try to find it this afternoon if I can ever get out out of meetings today ugh.

Thanks... I poke around and see if I find it.

Okay, Key chip for the R board is an "RBK 00001" - I have one on order...

I'll tinker with the enhanced board when I get it.  If I don't find the right chips for my 5 reel, 40 line game.., I'll save it for a 3 reel machine later.  

Thanks all for the info!
