I've been trying to get the regular Ironman game to work on my BB3. Driving me nuts for days! Willy Wonka plays perfectly so video and other components are fine.
Since it's a Gamefield title, the original machine of course needs the 32" lower touchpanel. Have one on order (well, backordered), but the guy I bought the game from was able to get it to load and play on his upgraded BB2 without the gamefield touch panel just fine. Which is REALLY confusing...
It's jumpered, and I confirmed my cabinet is being detected as a gamefield xD. Wondering if the cabinet type is the issue, and it needs to be set to a different cabinet type for Ironman to run on it without the 32” gamefield touchscreen present & only the OEM BB2 touchscreen being detected & initialized.
I connected two 32” 1920x1080 displays and I can load the game fine, no tilts, goes to the initial setup screen. I have to leave the BB2's 22" OEM touchscreen connected, no video, just the touchscreen connected. Otherwise it halts for no touchscreen detected. And the touchscreen is only needed to complete initial setup of the machine.
But once I reach the initial setup screen after loading. If I just tap the blank touchscreen, it immediately core dumps with “couldn’t compile keymap” and “cannot find mode 1920x1080”.
My guess is the game itself doesn’t like the BB2s OEM touchscreen for not having a 1920x1080 keymap as it’s a different resolution. I don’t think the OEM BB2 touchscreen has a 1920x1080 keymap, so I think once the Ironman game is loaded, when it gets feedback from the touchscreen…and it doesn't see a keymapping for 1920x1080 size, that makes it crash.
But since his works fine like this, with two 32" displays and just the BB2's 22" OEM touch controller connected, there must be something else set on his machine so it works on his. Perhaps a different cabinet jumper configuration in place? Or an EDID detective box on the display cable? Once initial setup is done, while he can't make the proper touches on one of the bonuses without a 32" touch screen so it's hung, he can use the OLED panel to bet and spin, as well as get past any of the other bonuses without the 32" touchscreen and just two 32" 1080 displays.
Thanks in advance! Any suggestions or ideas are totally welcome! I'll try anything! My bet is on a different cabinet type but I've tried all sorts of combinations. Maybe just not the correct combination! Some of them just make the primary display garbled. But with any cabinet setting I've tried, just touching the BB2 touchscreen always crashes it with the same error after the game is loaded. Don't know of anything else I can set with the BB2's OEM touchscreen still connected so it doesn't halt for no touch panel found, yet won't crash the game when it is connected! lol
I'd be happy even if it displays sideways just to see it functional until I get the actual 32" touch screen.
