Usually indicates a bad OS "CF" card.
Will also occur if the game you need requires 512Megs of RAM and you have 256M in it. A 512Meg memory stick for a laptop DOES fit.
What Game title and OS are you trying to run?

I am trying to run a game called high speed. It is 256 game and OS.

The CF cards i am using are card that were in working machines. I will try them with other games and see if it works. The ram is 512 but i am unsure about the bios but i will check

For "High Speed" you need BIOS Ver 2000........
You also need a 1800 or 1810 clear, 1350 wont do the trick Smiley

P.S. if you get a "Game Mismatch" READ THE MESSAGE CAREFULLY......
It will tell you the family of OS you have and what the game needs......
A series E1 will NOT work for a E1.11...ETC ETC.
If you cleared with a 1350, you have the Early BIOS....

I loaded the game on a 550 nxt conversion and it worked. i will look at the bios that the nxt has and the ram to ensure that they are the same.

I have the 1800 ram clear so that not the problem. I also loaded reel rich devils and it worked fine.

Hopefully by tomorrow i will have it sorted out

Usually not enough Ram (Cache) will not cause error codes, but will cause game to lock up when booting, the new games using newer OS's all require the v.2000 Bios, but seems hard to be accepted as the problem by users, but it is the problem

Kirk and Blueridge,

Thanks. The game loaded in another blubird. It was indeed the bios rom.

Anyway, how many versions of the bios are there?

I want them listed from the oldest to the latest.

Nice Machine Kirk. Alot of wires in there. So, how long did it take you to convert your machine?

Actually, it looks like a pretty simple setup, doesn't it?
There's no more "backplane" boards anymore, so to speak of...
Everything is plugged into the 2 or 3 computers with harnesses
that looks like VGA computer harnesses.
The extra wiring seems to be for the printer, DBV, bells and whistles!
Nice machine Kirk!  smiley drool
I'll betcha you traded in about 4 or 5 machines for that puppy!  yes

If I recall correctly, he got it for a good price at a pawn shop in Vegas.


Looks EXCELLENT, Kirk!   applause

Other Bluebird dual-screen games that I can think of off the top of my head:

- World Series of Poker
- Match Game (the 70's TV game show)
- Password (the 60's and 70's TV game show)
- Supermarket Sweep (90's game show)
- Goldfish
- Mermaid's Gold (basically the same game as Goldfish with different graphics)
- Don Ho's Kahuna Kash
- Reel 'Em In

I'm sure there are some others, but those ones all seemed to have come out at around the same time as You Bet Your Life.

Very nice looking machine, Kirk.

Hey knagl,

I forgot I played World Series of Poker a long time ago at the Borgata in AC.
I don't remember a things about the game. However, was this a Dual Screen BB?

I can't remember.
