Hedgee, here's a link to a manual in the Submit New File section. It will answer most, if not all your questions.

I'd like to read that, but it requires a password.

since the crash, that section has been closed.

Machine power off: Remove main board, remove base chip, insert key chip (correct one for your game) replace main board, power on machine., for key 17, wait for lights on board to light, then power down, remove key chip, replace base chip, replace main board and power on.  For chips with on screen menu, follow on screen menu, power down, remove key chip, replace base chip, replace board, power on machine.

This is a game king 4.3 with a key chip 22.

Are you saying you put the chip in, turn it on, then take it out, and now i have acess to changing the games?  Or is it,with the key chip make desired changes?


Thanks for your help, tho, but what is a base chip?

[billb707]

I put the key chip in, but the left two LEDs do not light.  So is it not being recognized?  However on the screen i get the option to "keychip after reboot" it then says put the base chip back in.  I do that and the machine goes right back to game mode, if i hit the operator button and try to change game options it says i have to have the key chip installed.

[a69mopar]

The changes are made once rebooted with base chip in. The key chip only "unlocks the door"  (meaning allows access to make changes).

[a69mopar]

Make sure machine doesn't have any credits on it. Once reboot, should go into key menu.  Your chip has on screen
 Menu, follow that, not lights.

First, thank you for your time

After I put the base chip back in, it acts like nothing happened.

I'm on road on phone. Did you post your chip numbers/ software info?  Perhaps key22 not correct.

Try key17 if you have it

But i have key 22 and am told i need key 17.  I've already done the base key in out dance a bunch of times. 

I got the three green and one red bar with the 22 key, but once the base was back, it was like nothing had happened.  From the operator menu it still said need keychip to change.

Thought I would throw that out there in case you might have missed a step.

Turns out i had to give a yes to the three options, and then it would let me change games etc. 

The first 2 times i tried the chip removal scheme I had credits on and of course that voids everything.  The next 2 I only selected option 3 and that didn't feed the bulldog, but setting the all three did.  And then what a womderfully bewildering array of choices await!  Denoms, games, game percentages, number of bets per game,  holy smokes.  I think i found a place for all the games.   Funny how the casinos just do the easy boring one size fits all approach.

Glad to hear you got it to work.

Thanks for letting us know,

Too bad I couldnt figure out which menu controlled the money limits so now it prints a ticket when the money exceeds 400 or whatever.  I got distracted, what can I say.

But its fun, i get a kick out of the fact that people put hundreds of billions of dollars into these things.  Hilarious.

Why are some of the games called hidenom?

Why are some of the games called hidenom?

the hidenom paytables are designed mathematically for high denom play.  as an example, if you walk into a casino and sit at a 25¢ video poker machine would you expect it to play and pay the same as a $500 video poker machine?  of course not, the hidenom paytables compensate for the higher bets with better pays!

to change your credit and other limits you don't have to keychip it again!  cashout any credits, open the main door and press the white test button on the mpu, touch the setup box on the screen then the machine options box and then the credit style setup box.  that should be where you find all of your limits!
