Need Game Maker Debug Instructions

[oldguy]

I have been having a couple problems with errors on my Game Maker. I have run the Clear chip but still cant seem to fix everything. I have a debug chip which was given to me with the machine but am reluctant to use it without knowing exactly how. Most of my experience is with the old electromechanicals so this is fairly new to me. Any Help ? Please.

The debug is run the same as clear chip.
What is wrong with your game?

Had problems with the Call Attendant screen, came on without reason. Also it seemed like it was possessed, games changed on their own and would hold cards without pushing the buttons, also would not let me set up the bill validator.
I ran the DEBUG as you directed and so far so good, a couple of hours with no problems. I couldn't go 10 minutes before. MANY THANKS for your help.

Glad to hear it's working.

It's certainly possible that there was a problem, but those behaviors are normal under some circumstances. When there are no credits on the machine, it will go into attract mode and cycle through each of the games. Some poker games have an auto-hold option which will automatically hold the programmers' idea of the best hand (not always right ). This option can be turned off globally and if enabled, can usually be turned off ad hoc by the player. Not all poker games have the option.
