S2000 Vision Slingo problems

[smileman83]

Actually a 3rd thing. Since I only have the basic sound ( no bat ear speakers, just teh flush ones that say vision on them), is it possible to get the improved sounds? If I understand, I would need a Multimedia board, bat ear speakers, do I need a subwoofer ( dont know where that would go). I assume the MM board would only create new sound for the spins? The slingo audio is controlled by a different area of the machine yes?

What other mods would have to be made the the machine to allow it to have that richer improved sound and are these mods difficult? ( Hey I just tackled something I hadnt before so why not)

Check the voltage on the coin battery anything above 2.8 should be OK.
Putting in a holder makes replacement easy.I usually harvest the holders from old computer mother boards I always seem
to have old dead computers laying around for spare parts.
Not sure on the slingo what you need for good sound beside a mm board..
The bass speaker should be where the coin tray is.
Check the connector there many times it gets bent up when thetray or panel is slid in when the mpu is replaced
It may be easier to remove the connector from the kick plate and connect it separately.
I'm assuming there is a speaker there.

Thansk will do- good idea on the battery holder from a computer- I assume they are the same size.

No speaker where the coin tray is that I can see. These visions only has small speakers in the top box. Pitiful sound when you compare to today. I understand about the MM board. Does this piggyback onto the MPU?  Do I need to get new sounds chips and remove existing chips on the MPU?

What about changing speakers?

Bruce, glad you got it going As far as sounds go the vision machines get all their sounds from the top box, they don't have associated sound Simms like standard games do. Better speakers may be your only option there. Thanks for the donation to the site and come visit us forany questions you have in the future

Bummer on the sound setup. I thought I saw somewhere where simply the reel spinning sounds which are generic were actually controlled by the MPU and all other sounds the top box. Anyone else have a slingo which has been modified.

Try a search under vision sound. It's been discussed before but I sure can't remember everything that was discussed
