PE+ with Call Attendant - CMOS Data - Door Open // Error

[63mini]

Thank you all for your answers, it really helped my friend who found new menu !!! 

He managed to change the background color, the maximum number of credit ... Etc. ... he really thanks you! 

Hey, that's great, glad the information helped!   


Thank you for the pictures of the VGA/LCD setup, especially the converter board.  I appreciate it a lot!  Do you know where he purchased that board from?  Is there a website where those boards can be bought?

I've seen this one or something similar on Ebay..

 Thanks. Been there done that. I'm on my third one for one game. But, it's not my thread. Just looking for something different to try.

Hello,



Here is what I found as information on the chip CG2430

Can someone tell me where I can find an English version or better yet, how to pass the machine in French?


My friend has deposited his machine at a professional who does not sell his card on a website.

To have the game in French you would need one of these two combos:

GAME program XP000064 with CG2353 & CAPX2307  or....
GAME program XP000154 with CG2452 & CAPX2307

However the trick is you need a DATA rom compatible with GAME program to have the paytables in French.  I do know of some by X00xxxxP number but we (or at least I) don't have access to these DATA roms or bins.  Like so much of the PE+ platform only so much was "shared" and put "out there" on the internet. I've had conversations with friends who had access to the French gambling community and was told collectors treated rom images like gold and didn't share. As a result French related files are scarce and limited.  The DATA rom you have might work but the paytables would still be in French, I think.

At least here in the states the PE+ is mostly a dead platform mainly for collectors now.  Not many people where willing to share their rom images for archival purposes for future generations.  MAME (the emulator) does support a large number of GAME and DATA roms.

About the video converter board / PCB in the picture.  Looks quite simple in design and traces only look to be on the under side.  Most (all?) of the parts are labeled on the top side.  So we could likely reproduce it, but you'd need the following:

A very high resolution photo of the top side to ID the 2 black IC chips (inverters or flip-flops?), capacitors, resisters ect
A very high resolution photo of the back side to replicate the traces.

Once the traces are mapped out, there are places on the internet you can order batches of simple PCBs like this for under $20 each.  Then you need the components, chips and VGA connector & soldering iron.  I'm sure there's manufacturing shops somewhere (China?) that would produce the whole piece for a good price if you could get so many orders done.  You could probably order 100 and what we didn't divide up here you could put on eBay and break even.  I know lots of guys who do this kind of thing to replicate rare, fragile or obsolete parts for arcade boards they own.  It's actually common in the retro computing fields as well.

BTW: This professional that did the conversion did basically the same thing or he designed it and had it manufactured.

NOTE: The bracket to mount the monitor to the door is another custom you'll need to take into account as well.
