Question: Will Lucky Meerkats run on BB2?

If not, what would I have to do to get it to work?  Thanks!  :Dave

That game will play on a BB2 CPU with the proper OS but it will not play if it has a OLED deck in the machine.  Use a standard or EBB deck.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer.  My new WMS BB2 arrives Tuesday with Airplane in it, but someday I may want to put in Lucky Meerkats or Lucky Lemmings.  I'm not sure about the deck or OS ... I suppose I could ask before it arrives, but it doesn't matter because I'll still want the machine, so I think I'll just wait until Tues.

Thanks again for your help.  K+ :Dave

Lucky Lemming will not play on a BB2.

Hi idesign,

Based on this thread ... http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=14315.0 ... do you still think I have to replace my OLED button deck with the software I'm looking to buy (pictured)?  The thread mentions as long as the software as a "G" in it, which this one does.  What do you think?

Thanks,
Dave

The BIOS ROM is for a BB1, so you don't need it.  Those game and OS card will work with your BB2, but the E1.11 OS does not support your OLED deck.  So just swap out your deck for a standard deck and you will be good to go.

Thanks for the quick reply - you're fast!

My current oled deck connects with a USB and is rather flat.  The deck I'm looking at appears to be deeper and has two 20-pin molex plugs.  So, I'm not sure it will fit and I didn't see any plugs on the motherboard that seemed to correspond.  Am I looking at the wrong deck for this machine?

thanks again,
Dave

Plus, my machine has no glass.  Instead, two monitors.  I wonder what would be displayed in the upper monitor?  Do you think the game is capable of displaying the Lucky Meerkats logo?

The OLED deck uses a USB connection, a standard deck uses molex connections. Open the belly door only and see if you have the connectors for the standard deck like in the attached photo.  If not then you will need to add them.  I can't answer you if the top monitor will display anything at all but that's not important.

Ah, okay, I see.  No, I don't have the molex plugs, but I see the holes in the plates where the plugs would have been.  So, I'll need to find (or make) the harness from those molex plugs pictured to where ever they attach inside the machine.  thanks again for your help!

Those plugs and the wiring harnesses are common on a BB1
