I have questions and hopefully they won't be too annoying and of course thanks in advance for any help.
I have Suite 7 but understand there to be a Suite 0 and a Suite 1 Game Maker programs. Does anyone have a list of the games per each Suite? Also does the same Operating System card work with each Suite or does it require a specific OS card for each different Suite? Also does the Clear card pictured work with all the Game Maker Suites? Does it work in conjunction with specific OS cards? How does this work and how would I learn what works with which?
Thanks again, Jim

Go with suite 7. I have the others that you have but suite 7 is the most recent and best of the bunch. It's the one I have loaded in my Gamemaker.
The clear card is specific to the OS card not to the game or machine.
To better understand how to clear and setup your game I would search you tube for "Bally Alpha clear process" then once you understand that search for "Bally Alpha setup". That should answer all your questions.

By the way, not sure if you're aware of this but that software requires the special button panel specific to the Gamemaker to work.

The pictured cards are the one that the game is using. The clear card came with the bartop model Game Maker. Would you know if this is the correct clear card for the game program? I don't want to try it and screw something up.
Also the previous owner disconnected the cash out button so it doesn't lock up the machine because it has no hopper or TITO. Would I be able to put it into an IGT like "keychip mode" using the clear card to disable the hopper and/or TITO without screwing with the rest of the machines programs?
Since you mentioned the button panel, does the bartop button panel use a different program than the stand up model like the one you pictured?
I'm much more used to IGT and have never dealt with an Alpha Game Maker before.
Thanks, Jim

I upgraded all of my machines with 1ghz cpu's running a 2Gb OS long ago. I'm sorry but I do not recall specific clear card/OS match ups but I'm sure that info can be found easily on the nlg site.

All device settings can be altered in the initial setup menu once a clear and restart have been performed. The hopper, printer and other components can be enabled or disabled there.

I'm unfamiliar with the bar top version of a Alpha Gamemaker but I can say that there would be no difference in the game program or OS and it should obviously already have a button panel compatible with the programming requirements.

Thanks, Appreciate the feedback.
