Problem Solved
It was the power supply
Its always the last thing you try
thanks to everyone for all of their help and suggestions
Just one more quick question, once i got the machine going i tried the other game eprom sets i have in the machine (MK6 with xp motherboard)
and the buttons are all over the place , whether i set it to 14 or 16 buttons
The bet and line buttons are ok but the other are all over the place
reserve = game rules
game rules = collect
collect = reserve
gamble = collect
take win = start feature
different games put them on different buttons but none match up correctly except the original game
Games tried are Wheres the gold, spring carnival, tiki torch and more chilli
Could this be caused by using the wrong system eprom set
i have a few other game chipsets but i have no idea how to tell what system set to use with which game
Is there a list for knowing what game set with what system set or just it just go by date
thanks again guys for helping get the machine going, might have to try and get my Qld mk4 going next ( dont all hide at once
)
