Title: Diamonds & Devils Deluxe/Alpha s9000. need clear card, but unsure of which one?
Post by: klassic on December 29, 2019, 12:57:23 PM

thanks. it's a diamonds and devils deluxe. i had a Low Battery error, so i turned the game off, removed/replaced the 2 batteries on the computer motherboard (1 read 2.65 volts), and boot up to a fail error after what seemed like a normal boot. with research, i'm sure i need a clear card, and basic instructions on how to clear the machine, and if i need to do anything "special" with the 2 compact flash cards i have installed now (once i clear the machine), to get the machine up and running again.


thanks in advance.

Need to know which OS you are using to determine correct clear card needed.

You mentioned you replaced the 2 batteries. There is one more on the backboard behind the MPU.

i DMM'd that one, it was fine, voltage wise. the 2 on the main pc board were below the 3 volts i would expect.  :)

 ;)    thanks to sixcardmark and a huge thanks to ron/RB...who i contacted with bad timing as he was tied up. but he got me setup with the needed clear card. it went in and did it's job quick. anyone who sets up these menus deserves a degree in slot machine programming at the very least.
