What is the clear 123 chip? I have seen lots of references to it but no PSR or info....is it just the newest latest and greatest.....I don't think I need it anyway for what I am doing.
The list I have only lists an IVC103 and IVC104 as clear chips for the S+, but who knows. They pretty much all work the same, though. Replace your SP ("GAME") chip with the clear chip, power on, press the self-test button once or twice until the numbers start counting up on the displays. When the counting stops, power off the machine and put your SP/GAME chip back in.
Will the set015 chip work with both games?
Likely, yes. The SP731 mentions the SET15 by name in the PSR. The SP1271 doesn't mention the SET15 as a chip that will work for it, but generally speaking, the SET15 will work to enable the bill validator on
most SP chips. Try it -- you won't hurt anything by trying it, and it'll likely work for you.
I have read that the SP1271 is a more popular chip.... I have a chip burner can I copy the SP1271, erase the SP731 and reprogram it to a SP1271. I do have a UV eraser also. I realize that more work will need to be done if I change those chips.
Yes, you
could do that, although if your chips are IGT originals they a) may not be erasable, and b) it'd be a shame to do that to original chips (in my worthless opinion). For the average home user, there really isn't much of a difference between the two chips and there's nothing wrong with having two different SP chips in your two different machines.
I would like to increase the payout on the wild cherry with chip SS4098. Can I erase and re-burn the current SS4334 to the higher payout?
Yes, that's technically possible if you had the correct file.
Would I be OK asking for a .bin file in the WTB section.
Absolutely, 100%, not. The discussion of buying/selling/trading/solicitation of copyrighted files (which include .bin files containing copyrighted software like the file you're looking for) is strictly prohibited by the

If we were to permit such discussion, the lawyers for the big slot machine companies would be only too happy to do everything in their power to shut this site down. It's silly (to me) that they're super-protective of outdated, retired technology that is long past its end-of-life, but it's their right to enforce their copyrights, and they are very trigger happy when it comes to sniffing out illegal activity that pertains to their copyrights.
