Title: Cham II Not Accepting F1
Post by: keystone9 on August 07, 2020, 08:55:39 AM

I'v been trying to program my ChamII with my PSP program and it will not accept the final F1 command. This is for a Bally 6000. Thanks.

Go to symbols and set that first with F1. Then go back to Jackpot programming.

What is the history of this machine? Did the Progressive used to work? Or are you installing a progressive to this machine? Has the MPU been changed?  C10 is Progressive not setup. C14 is Selected machine serial setting is not supported?   In 11d  menu, option 02, if your setting is set at 4 try changing it to 5.   is option 07 set to 1? and option 78LO set to 1 ?   In PSP  Jackpot Programming, try  entering values into ALL the lines, fill in all the blanks, of limits and percentages and then send (F1).

No history on this game I am shopping out some new games. I have a computer just for PSP setup and I am trying to program another board for the new game, funny thing is that the board I use all the time to keep my PSP up and running is doing the same thing as well as another un shopped board. All was well last time I used the programmer. I will try your last step later today. Thanks. Bill

After you press F1 are you getting any indication from the laptop that the command was not accepted?
Have you tried the trick of rebooting the Cham2 and then pressing the F1 key as soon as it finishes the boot? I usually F1 each page individually. Does anything send from the PSP on any of your Cham2's?

I checked everything twice. Not working. I must of did 50 of these over the years and never had this much trouble. Attached are some photos. Thanks. Bill

Can you send any of the screens individually?
That is when you are in screen 1 setting the progressive amount, if you PF1 from that screen does it go?
It looks like you're mess.do might be corrupt.

I am doing this from an old desk top that I saved just for programming PSP. Used to work fine until now. Maybe I need to install a fresh version.

I got it figured out by something Sunrise said. I started looking at my cable going from my computer to the Cham II and figured I would try another USB port and bingo! Thank you all for your help and suggestions. Bill
