This was in the game slot on a new Alpha I got. Can anyone tell me what it is?

It's the generic program to run S6000 games in the Alpha platform. Similar to the SB10000 chip in the IGT S2000 to run S+ software.
You will need additional hardware. It will be accompanied by a PCI board on the CPU that has 6 EPROMS, 3 U18's and 3 U20's
each set (one of each U18 and U20) will be a different percentage of the same game. This will allow you to select from three different percentages when setting up the machine for each domination. I do have the PCI conversion board to run that software.

LOL I bought this machine shopped out and ready to run.... Hmmmmm. Guess I should have plugged it in huh.............. LOL
Thank you sir, your help is MUCH appreciated!

Nothing wrong with that setup. It will play just fine like any other Alpha

But I don't have the game eprom???

Do you have the PCI board on the CPU?
Post a picture of your CPU removed from the machine.

Yes I have a couple with those boards on them. They have 7 eproms, correct?

PICTURE....

Ya, looks like your good to go.
Actually it's 6 EPROMS and there is a clamshell cover for the PLCC chip that does the sounds.
Do a clear and set up the machine as normal.

Remember you need the converter card and the O/S card installed. It should use AVOS00000317-02

What games does it have?

Thanks for your help! :259-

I think the oldest i have is an 03

It came with an 05 OS card and an 07 Converter card?

You tell me what game it has...
It's your machine. If you don't know, post the game chip numbers you have off the S6000 game chips installed and I can see if they match anything I have.

OK, I'm still wondering if what you're saying is, this machine can play 6 different games, or what are al those eproms for. I never saw this before??

Thanks for the help! :259-

You don't have multigames, each chip holds a paytable percentage.  Having all the eproms on the board allows you to choose a payback percentage as opposed to buying a chip for each.

OH, I see. Kinsd of a redundant way to do it, but if it works. Thanks for the help!

It was done to leverage software that was already approved by the gaming commissions.  This allowed bally to release a new platform without the lengthy software approval process.  They have since moved to CF cards, which can hold a lot more information.

its a nice looking slot

Thanks for your help!!! :259-

I like the 5 Reel Mystic lamp! Gonna have to KMWA so I can keep it lol!

Thank you too Rick! Cant Karma you from here, LOL.

Sorry, I didn't get back to you sooner.
Rick is 100% correct.
Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my previous post.

Rick, I'll hit you a K+ for providing a correct answer.

Not a problem, Thanks!  :259-

I regurgitated what you told me when you showed me that board, just passing on the knowledge.  :71- :71- :71-

LOL.... Thanks!!

Can I dump these D*** converter boards and just use a CF? If I can find one for 5 Line Mystic Lamp?
