Title: MEI File ID
Post by: BiggerHammer on July 10, 2016, 09:25:50 AM
Does anyone know what 66B310198220.xcf is for? It's a config file but I don't have any notes on it. Any and all info is appreciated.

I don't have that file, but sometimes if you view a config file in a text editor like MS Word, or even Notepad or Wordpad you will see comments in the file that help to know more about it.

That actually worked pretty good. Looks like it's for EBDS ISO with a variant to disable acceptance of $2 notes.


 :thankyou:

Glad it worked for you. Software writers are supposed to document that type of code with enough comments to allow others to understand what it is for and to make needed changes over time. That's the way the policy was where I worked and it makes sense but of course they don't always do that, depends on the professionalism of the individual I guess.

Some of the nerdier s/w guys I worked with said they made comments in their code so that even they could go back later and understand what it was for.   :garfield:

The 66B310198220.xcf firmware is used in Aristocrat MAV500 machines.
