i have been playing with a s2000 running s+ tournament software. i have it working but when a game finishes it just displays the final total on the display, is there a way to get the machine to print that total on a ticket?

Last time I tried a S+ tournament chip in a S2000 it would come with a invalid ROM error, this was when I was a S2000 novice.

How did you get it to work?

i didn't rely do anything special just installed correct chips cleared and keyed it you do have to enable the tournament mode and setup the time and credit settings.

What chips are you using?

I just tried, and it gives me the same errors that I got many years ago when I tried.
SG000598
SB001000
VS011GX1
ST0036 - Five times pay 2000+% in tournament mode.

All I get is a System ERROR invalid SS EPROM F011
I tried the original but it was too slow so I copied it to a SST 27SF512-70
I made the programming software verify the chip numerous times
I have other SS chips that work fine as long I copy them to a SST 27SF512-70ns (I try the orignal SS chip first and if it fails I copy it to an available 27SF512)

Foster  I really don't know why you would even want a tournament game but that's up to you. But if your putting a game chip (ST0036) where you need a SS chip don't you think that could be the problem ??

I have the files for SBT00518 R W & B 2C  and a SBT00676 R W & B 3C  If either one of them will do you any good.

I started my replies because the original poster stated he is using a S+ Tournament (STxxxx) in a S2000.
I was told years ago when I first tried it, it could not be done either.
That is why I inquired how he is doing it.
I almost think he has a SBT in the machine and is just leaving the SS chip in place and the SS chip is not being used by the machine.

I don't think it is possible but who knows what IGT had to do in 1998 when they released the Vision and Vision Ready to get them on the floors fast
I figure they came out with the SB001000 for regular SS chips and maybe another SB chip to use with S+ tournament chips.

I like the 98% I set mine for

I see a Batronix BX40 in my future.
My GQ-2X is almost a RC boat anchor.

i dont have the exact numbers for the sg and st (chip says st not sbt) chip as i am not at the shop. the sb is an sb001000 the vs was a gx0 or gx1. the machine is a double diamond.  i wont be back into the shop until monday but i do know that the sg chisp were tournament specific and i believe you have to replace the ss chip with a st( software was already in the machine by the time i got to it. your problem may be with your sg

just checked the psr for the SG000598 i dont see that it support tournament mode.
