Memory Reset

[CVslots]

So.... I acquired my first Atronic machine. It's super clean & everything powers up. It has two messages on the screen.

1. Different Game Family
2. Memory Must Be Reset - New JP Mode

Any insight or help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have any extra chips with it?

Hello CVS

You will need the Clear and config chips specific to your game - Which game is it ?

Randy - Still having problems with yours ? I will be tackling 10 here at my new workplace so let me know if ican assist with anything.

Thanks Ian, As I said before... Every other "game" I try I get an error. About all of them go back to a "COMM Error". I get the game screen up,and thats it???  I'm running Happy Safari in it now(which is the only one that lets me "turn off" the COMM board). Tried diff. chips on the COMM board,cleared the comm board,cleared the main boards...and tried a few diff. comm boards

The game I have is Golden City. I did a ram clear with a 08 clear chip and now I'm  stuck at the CONFIG message.

Hi CVslots,I went through the same thing  . Check out my post in this section and the guys gave me some great help...Whiched worked

[CVslots]

I finally got back to this one. I did the RAM clear and the CONFIG  ( several times ) and now I have 2 new messages. I can't find anything on them in the manules or posted here . The messages are,
APL: CONFIGURATION REQUIRED
VOUCHER TEXT NOT INITIALIZED

After you did the ram clear and had the options on setting the game up,I'm sure the voucher settings were in there ...somewhere  ,I know it was a few pages of setup. TZ will be able to help more when he runs across this .

Hello

In progressives like cash fever or King Kong cash the Apl is the configuration for value to linked machine to others, the commboard takes the info and auto configurate, in case it´s a slave machine, if is a master machine this need to be configurated whit atronic pc-link setup, however in you´re case for apl error do you need to see the commboard dip switches banks, and rotatory switches too, rotatory give a adress to the machine and dip switch established the comunications system, if you perform a ram clear to the commboard but you dont configure switches the error keeps appearing on the screen, maybe somebody can give the right settings for commboard, and you can solve the trouble´for put the machine to work whitout linked system hope this helps.

Best Regards

Just uploaded the COMM manual to the file section.

[CVslots]

Thanks for the manual and info, I did get rid of the APL message I'm still looking for the access so I can initialize the voucher text but I keep going in circles in the menues

Hi Guys

APL - Atronic Progressive Link. For this and ticketing info i think you will need the config SW and also the dongle to enable the program to run on your PC. Sorry guys still have not got to mine here in the workshop as I am struggling with some Aristocrats right now. As soon as i get round to these i can provide more informed assistance :>

HI CVslots....  could you get your machine up and running??? 

If not, you'll need the device pictured in this post:  http://newlifegames.net/nlg/index.php?topic=2352.0

Once you have it let me know

Best regards

[CVslots]

No luck with it so far, I got side tracked with a couple of EVO's.  I did get the dongle set but it looks like I'll need help setting it up. I can't seem to get the program to load onto my laptop.

CVslots let me know through this post when you have downloaded my email to provide further assistance in case you need it.

[CVslots]

my dongle is the 25 pin and won't work on my laptop.

[SAT (aka GANDHI)]

Sorry to hear that.....  I understand you since that is the reason why I carry with two laptops everywhere I go   


It's sooo  heavyyyy   

[CVslots]

Ok, I finally have the lap top with windows 98, the dongle, the set up files down loaded ( thank you SAT ) and I'm down to one last message, "voucher text not initialized"

[SAT (aka GANDHI)]

You must use the setup programs (MAINCONFIG) for setting up the text your printer will put on a printed ticket.

That message is normal... all you have to do is:  what I wrote above

hello guys !!!

hope that you can help me to find out what`s wrong  whit  my Atronic Emotion, the thing is that, machine boots perfectly till the point where it asks me to press the reset botton to continue formatting ram, when  I do this machine reboots againg which I understand is normal, ok then when machine it`s up I go through the congiguration process pretty fine untill I finish, but it all stops whit the message on the screen please wait..........  and then it frezzes.

why is this happening???

I`m almost going mad.

any advice will be helpfull.

thanks in advance.

[SAT (aka GANDHI)]

some times it happens when some of your chips is blown.......  sometimes because of firmware incompatibility with the software (game) you're trying to install.

the more details you provide on the hardware and software you want to install, the better we can help.

i can provide more info when i get home........

cheers

[Jpau]

thanks for you response guys!!

it´s kind of odd !!, because  this game was working pretty fine  just before I tried out the other one, see the problem is that I have four Emotions whit no game on it, so the providers from whom I got them just sent me these four games sets , com chips,game chips cd room and  they only included one bios I mean for just one game, the  other problem is that as you say game versions might be might be mixed up, but this game was working before I took it out from machine, and now is not,machine jus keeps rebooting.

I tried adding more 256 mb ram but no luck!

don´t really have any idea about what´s happening.

does any one have  the information about the matching com, game and Bios versions I´m really  having so much troubles whit this issue.
