The games shouldnâ€™t make any difference on the board running. It is the operating systems of the cabinets that determine the settings. From what people that have had the alpha machines have said they all allow the validation needed. The only difference is some of the backplanes donâ€™t have the same power connector so it is then a matter of finding the voltage needed, but I have only had one person tell me about that and have sold many alpha boards so it must be a rare backplane that does that. As far as where it would print that I canâ€™t help much. I have never personally seen the inside of an alpha machine, but it would have to have a printer in the machine to get it to work.

On my M9000 (Alpha) the power is found at a 20 pin molex in the middle of the backplane...
On my Alpha (1) there are 2 10 pin molex for aux power near the bottom of the backplane...

My first Alpha II confused me, the MPU/CPU box is in the middle of the backplane.
I found power above the box @ J17 and COM is under the box.
Setup is pretty much the same on both Alpha and Alpha II. Pretty much the same as my BB1 and BB2 as well.
Some Jurisdiction chips/eeproms don't like to cooperate. I use the no limit Jurisdiction.

I don't understand your question Ayub???
The TITO board only allows you to print a ticket from your printer that can be redeemed in your bill validator.
The game shouldn't matter. The TITO only impacts your COMM settings.

Is there a Web site or details about the product..
What makes this better then Better TITO?

bhinkley · « **Reply #44 on:** December 30, 2020, 05:47:31 PM »

There currently isnâ€™t a website for the product. As far as being better than the Bettor slots TITO that depends on what you are looking for. His product has some nice features if you are looking for things like control of some settings remotely. I have nothing bad to say about his product. My boards are a custom designed circuit with cables made specifically for the machine they are going in to make connecting the boards very easy. They also have 3 free play options on the board all at once so you can turn the feature off or select one of the free play settings with the flip of a switch or two where I believe his has only on or off and it has to be reflashed to change between on and off. If my understanding is correct the Bettor slots one doesnâ€™t support Konami at all and mine recently have added that support.

From personal opinion only I find mine to be a cleaner design because it is completely made for this purpose solely. We both use the same settings and validation method so tickets are compatible between board types. Any other info, please reach out to me by pm and we can discuss specific questions.

Excellent comparison.. I will look into it when the time comes

Just a shot in the dark here to see about an idea I have for the future of the TITO@Home system to add more support. Does anyone here know of anybody that has a computer version of the TITO setup written in either C or Basic languages that runs enhanced validation? I am wanting to get ahold of the coding if possible for study to see if I can get a board that would be user selectable for what type of validation it uses so I could support enhanced validation, but I would need source code to compare and see if I can port the process to a microcontroller. If you know of anyone that has gotten this working on a computer or standalone using the newer validation method, please refer them to me so I can try to get that working in a future version of my boards.

For all you TITO@Home fans....

I am searching for a few people to help with some testing for future support of my boards on new machines.

The first person I am looking for would be to help with trying some experimentation to see if I can get support for aristocrat Mk6 machines working. I have recently come into some info that shows a glimmer of hope that we may be able to get these going. You will need to have a SPC2.5 board for testing as that is the info I have to work with. You will also need to know how to reset the spc board if need be. The harness from the SPC to slot machine needs to still be in the machine as well.

Second will be someone with a aristocrat Viridian (mk7) machine. Same requirements as the MK6.

Finally I am looking for someone with a KP3 machine that can help with some photos to determine if the wiring is the same as the K2V machines. If it is or we can get the info needed this would also include testing the board in the machine.

Any one in those groups please contact me directly with an email or number I can text so we can discuss the project and hopefully get a few more machines on the supported list.

I currently have one I canâ€™t get ahold of for a response on an order so if you are waiting for a response from me please message me with alternate info or please open some space in your inbox to be able to reach you.

Great news TITO@Home fans!

I have just added support for Konami KP3 machines as well as WMS Blade machines to my supported machines for the boards. I also have someone that is working on testing with me to see if I can get Aristocrat MK6 machines supported.

I am still looking for someone that would be willing to help me test the board in a Aristocrat MK7 (Viridian) machine once I get the MK6 figured out so I know how to interface everything correctly. Please let me know if you have a Viridian machine and would be interested in helping get those supported with the TITO@Home.

I just got a new TITO version 3 today for my Alpha M9000. I've done the set up via the YouTube video for TITO setup and my question is how do I set the 2 dip switches on the TITO board & is this one of the places on the backplane to plug it into? I've got the other cable plugged into the comm 1 spot on the backplane.

bhinkley · « **Reply #51 on:** February 02, 2021, 05:15:15 AM »

Yes those two connectors about the middle of the backplane there is where you connect the power end of the cable.

For the dip switch settings leave both off for no free play. #1 on and #2 off for the lowest value chosen, #2 on and #1 off for the middle value chosen, and both on for the highest value chosen.

br549autosales · « **Reply #52 on:** February 02, 2021, 07:15:46 AM »

Tanks, I have the dip switches set now and its plugged into one of those 2 spots on the bottom of the backplane & I'm still not able to add credits. I'm trying to use this device because I do not have a working bill acceptor so in the settings after the clear I chose "no bill acceptor" could that be why I can't add credits with the cash out button perhaps? I was able to use an old style TITO without a bill acceptor on a M9000 recently without any issues so maybe I missed a step from the YouTube video on setting up my TITO.

bhinkley · « **Reply #53 on:** February 02, 2021, 07:50:27 AM »

It sounds like you are missing a setting. Nothing has changed in how the boards work to allow the free play. Make sure system or legacy bonusing is set up on the machine.

br549autosales · « **Reply #54 on:** February 02, 2021, 07:57:11 AM »

Thanks, I'll check when I get home from work tonight. Worst case I'll clear the machine again and do the set up step by step from the YouTube video

br549autosales · « **Reply #55 on:** February 02, 2021, 08:01:38 AM »

I remember setting up "system" on one of the settings from watching the video

bhinkley · « **Reply #56 on:** February 02, 2021, 10:10:50 AM »

The video I had posted years ago on YouTube was just a demonstration. When you clear the machine follow the instructions for the machine type in the Dropbox link that is included with the board.

br549autosales · « **Reply #57 on:** February 02, 2021, 10:27:16 AM »

Ok I'll try again but the drop box photos I looked at did not look like any of the screens on my Bally M9000 machine. I'll try again this evening, thank you sir

bhinkley · « **Reply #58 on:** February 02, 2021, 11:01:24 AM »

The drop box has different instructions for each type of machine. I was told the screens are basically identical to wms screens. The YouTube video simply was put out there to show someone I had gotten the machine working with the board so it doesnâ€™t go over any specific settings as all machines are different. If you need additional help on setting up please email me at bhinkley@gmail.com and I can help determine specific screen settings by getting screen shots from you and what options it gives.

br549autosales · « **Reply #59 on:** February 02, 2021, 11:42:13 PM »

Couple screen shots, hopefully someone will see something I missed or did wrong
