IGT PE+ double double bonus poker how to enable double down feature

[knagl]

KEVIN --AKA KNAUG IS THE RESIDENT PE EXPERT IM SURPRISED HE HAS NOT HOPPED ON THIS THREAD ?
PERHAPS HE WILL AFTER THIS POST ???

Hey, even the experts are entitled to a vacation every now and then -- I was busy helping to bankrupt the Las Vegas casinos until today. 

Okay, after some exhaustive testing I was able to confirm that X002070P does support double-up.  The option is in the self-test menu screens as described by others -- it's right after the color test, dots, crosshatch, and color palette display.  It will display with credits on the machine.

I do not have the XP000023 GAME chip to test with, however, and I'm wondering if that's what's different between my setup and yours.

Do you have a different GAME chip you can try in place of the XP000023?  I was using XP000038 with the X002070P DATA chip and I had the double-up option.

Hey thanks for checking into this Knagl!
That's where i thought it should be and it's not there.It goes straight from the color palette display to Paytable.
I do not have any other game boards or chips for this machine.
Not sure if it's out of line to talk about this in these forums or not since I am very new here so let me know if it's not and I will edit this post to remove it.
I do have an Eprom image file for the XP000038 chip that you were testing with,can I just burn that to a chip to test to see if that's the difference?
looks like that's using a 512k chip not sure if I have any of those blanks on hand or not I have mostly 64k or smaller for vintage arcade machine repair but pretty sure I have some 256k chips.
I have a pe+ set chip if I need to re-enable the BV or change currency option.

Thanks for your help with this.

Well, since you're talking about the legitimate backup copy of the XP000038 you happen to have...    

Yes, you could just burn that on to a chip and you should be good to go.  Although I have a bunch of PE+ knowledge, I'm very green when it comes to chip burning -- I have a chip burner, but I've never used it (go figure).  It looks like the file for the XP000038 is 64k, but I'm not sure if that means it'll fit on a 64k chip or if you need to have it on a bigger chip.  What size chip is your current XP000023 chip?

[Slug54]

I haven't pealed the label off the chip to check but there is a 512 on the label and the file is 64K so I think it will require a 512k EPROM.
It's a little confusing cause the file is 64KB(Kilo Bytes) and a standard chip like a 27C512 is 512kb(kilo bits) so to store 64K bytes I would need 512K bits (64x8).

Thanks for your help I will let you know how it goes when I scrounge up the chip to test it on.
Just seems strange that the game is called Double Double Bonus Poker but it has no double up feature.

Goodmorning SLUG,
JUST A SUGGESTION ,
post in the WTB a multi game poker set  there cheap money . I may even have a spare set of "IGT"  "ORIGINALS " we can talk about price.
 I am sure one of the top vendors has a set at a reasonable price you can try .  that way you have 5 games to pick from.
the one I run has BONUS POKER---BONUS POKER DELUXE --DEUCES WILD -JACKS OR BETTER -DOUB BONUS POKER -ALL WITH DOUB UP .  you have the super board already so your good to go .

happy holiday
Rocket

Success!! Replaced the XP000023 chip with the XP000038 chip after figuring out the right combo to clear the CMOS data error and using the set chip to enable the BV double up is officially working! Thanks for the help everyone especially Rocket and Knagl,
Hey Rocket I would like to get a multi-game set.If you have one that you want to sell just PM me what you want for them I'm sure we can make a deal.
If you don't have a set I'll probably do a WTB.
After this thread you know what should work with my setup so I would feel pretty good about getting a set from you.
Thanks again to everyone who chimed in on this topic.

   Nice job!  Way to stick with it!  Glad to hear it's working.

Just seems strange that the game is called Double Double Bonus Poker but it has no double up feature.

"Double Double Bonus" refers to the paytable and the increased awards for special 4-of-a-kinds, and has nothing to do with the double-up feature.  Even standard Jacks or Better can have the double-up feature enabled.

For a listing of many of the poker games that were created for the PE+, check out the IGT game bible here on the site (http://newlifegames.net/igtbible/ ), and click on the "Poker" navigational link at the top of that page.  The "Multi Poker" listing on that page is what Rocket is referring to, which enables the player to select a game from a list of five preset game options using an on-screen menu:

Glad to hear that the XP000038 fixed the issue you were having with the double-up option, and this thread will serve to let people know in the future that the XP000023 GAME chip does not support the double-up feature.
