Title: Bally VF display controller ?? Post by: cruisepl on March 22, 2010, 10:56:09 PM I took the player tracking and some other stuff out of my Bucks Ahoy reel touch. One of the items I took out is a Bally VF Display Controller part # 305304 that scrolls a "Welcome to the Showboat......" message. I was wondering if there is a way to change this message to something more to my liking.
There is a removable chip which is where I guess the message is stored but I really do not know. The chip has BALLYSYS 1998 and 288751 V01 4701 on the label Is reprogramming the message as simple as writing a new message to the chip ? What hardware/software would be needed ? Thanks Title: Re: Bally VF display controller ?? Post by: Tilt on March 23, 2010, 12:19:43 AM Yes you can create your own custom message, but you don't change the display chip. You should have a Mastercom 220/250 controller for that display. Inside of it is a either a 1Mb or 4Mb flash memory chip that you can read/write to using most EPROM programmers. Make sure that you make a backup of the original file before you make any changes. Further details can be found in this thread:

I'll check out the other thread thanks |
