Can someone tell me if its a BIOS or MEMORY issues. If so, what do I need to get to get this game to run?


The game tries to boot up and then says


MACHINE FAULT


MEMORY INTEGRITY CHECK FAILURE FOR USER PROCESS AT ADDR: -1049350144, FLAGS: 80010068, digest: 0


Other games load just fine.

Golden Reef 1GB

Are you sure its a BIOS chip? I am hearing so many different answers on this. I am leaning towards I need a 1GB board.

BIOS chip has nothing to do with it.  You don't have enough memory to run it.

That is what I thought. I will have to upgrade the MPU then.

No. I have the Cinevision version.

Unless they expect you to upgrade Cinevisions to Alpha 2??? They I misunderstood. I wish there was a doc that listed what platform some of these games work on. Bally's site is not helpful on compatibility. I just search the games on their site and select CABINET>CINEVISION.


Is this not a good way of doing? If not there has to be a document explaining this.

Just seen this now.  Why is your picture side ways?.  It should have already auto-initialized the monitor by that point.  No the way you search should be ok but there are better methods.  You should by now have all the data and info,pms etc. to upgrade your mpu/cpu/brainbox.  I was afraid this would happen.  Folks get all these diff. alphas on diff. platforms and cabinets and want to start shoving game changes in them.  I had even made some post and others on the old board about this.   Bios does come into play depending on what you are trying to run/do at times.  OS is paramount to match proper game, Then of course proper hardware/equipment.  Depending on what box you have and it is prob. a 512 you can upgrade, add a dual video card and a external cable and monitor off that and work/run diff. games of that cinevison.  Have not tryied on that one but works on others.  I had a cinereel in the past.  Have a v-32 and s-9000 currently as far as alpha goes.   Alpha is NOT just one machine.  Alpha's have Many diff. variations and machine cabinet options and choices.  That was not for you coolwave -last statement but others that constantly get confused that alpha is just alpha.

My iPhone takes the picture correctly but when I upload the picture on here it flipped it. My screens are correct... No worries there.


I was able to load a 512 Game... just runs a tad slow.


So if I buy this $250 1GB MPU, will it guarentee that these 1GB games will run? Remember these are Cinevision titles according to the Bally website. I assume of you don't have a second monitor to display the "Glass" it will just ignore it.


Also, is it just better to find the newest bios available so it will run all games?


Sorry guys, but I'm still learning.

If you upgrade to a 1 GIG CPU you will need a different operating system and bios chip. You can't use these from the 512 CPU.

That's fine. I really want to run this game. I have a 2012 OS card. What BIOS would I need to get if I upgrade to the 1GB board. Maybe the 1GB MPU board has a BIOS already installed?

So if I spend the extra money on a 1GB board, will it definately run the 1GB cinevision titles with correct BIOS and OS?


Also, could add more memory to the Alpha MPU that is currently in the machine. If so what tye do I need to find?

Some games including those on 512MB card (Alpha 2) will not run on a 1GB board and there is no way to upgrade the memory on your 512 board.  Also, some 1 GB boards can not be upgraded either,  If you upgrade get a 1 GB board that has a slot for another 1GB simm for a max of 2 GB.

No offense taken. Just wanted to point out that some of these games do work. I have been told wrong information several times. I'll just take it as some people don't want to do business with me. (Not just you, in general).

Upgrading the MPU to a 1GB MPU

Your issue with your CURRENT games has been solved.  Just an FYI whenever you have ANY "memory" errors:


The OS is "uploading" the games firmware from the card into RAM or DRAM (graphics go one place, operations go another). Some code on the card is compressed. The processor transfers code in batches. it does a checksum of the batch, then verifies it. When the verify returns a mis-match, you've run out of RAM - and thus the error code at the address the transfer failed. (or you have a bad RAM card - it verifies the RAM card when the game boots - you can tell On the boot screen how much RAM it verified).


In other words, go to www.newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com) and order a 2gig SET of PC3200 DDR400 1Gig RAM sticks and install them in your 1gig MPU brain box, maximizing the potential of the MPU.


 That will enable you to avoid any future "memory" problems with whatever games that Alpha 1 box will run. For example; if you're going to run Lightning Jackpots, you WILL need 2G's of RAM.


Hope this helps....

Thank you for the info on memory sticks. I held off on memory because I didn't know what kind of sticks to buy.

What you said all makes sense. Thanks again for chiming in!
