Cabinets and Monitors for ArgOS
(1/1)
Eddiie:
I started looking at an ArgOS Image file for OS 223 and 301B and found some interesting config files that describe Cabinet IDs, the monitor configuration for the cabinets, the ports, a whitelist of games, a different list of 'blacklisted' games for certain cabinets (due to technical issues), and some other stuffs like what monitors are available for the cabinets, etc
It also looks like there is a Windows version of the IPC controller... No need for those clunky boxes any more.. ?? just a guess at this point.
Just found this, not sure what it all exactly means..
\ice\deployment\cfg\ is the folder with the goodies.
Starting with the "CabinetLicense" folder, there is a "cabperm.txt" file, this creates a naming hierarchy (?), but it also says which cabinets are allowed to play which games...

Next, CabTypes.txt. A list of different cabinet ID's that are generated by the cabinet ID jumpers. Using a spreadsheet, a buttload of switches and reboots, it is possible to make these cabinet IDs on the old BB backplane.
I have not yet found where the Cabinet ID is displayed on ArgOS. It would be a big help to find where cabinet type is displayed on screen in the OS.
This file creates naming groups for a bunch of cabinets into a class of cabinets used in other config files.

There's a bunch of other files and folders but let's now go to the "video" folder...
This folder contains what looks like 2 things... (1) a list of valid monitor types for a given cabinet class, (2) the configuration of the monitors (the display port) for that cabinet (class?)... It was late last night.. Maybe I am wrong with this.. Welcome corrections!! I fell asleep here, so it is incomplete..
In here are many files.. Alpha, Bluebird, twinstar, sg1, etc etc.. I will cover twinstar here..
twinstar_x screens.xml, it shows there are 2 different configurations possible.. 3 and 4 screens.
First screen goes in Display Port 8 (is this C2 on backplane2.0? I think so), it is iDeck and the resolution needs to be 1920x510
Second screen goes in display port 0 (V1, I think so), this is the primary display (because of display port 0 and the touch config element) and its resolution needs to be 1920x1080, not rotated
Third screen, goes in display port 4 (V5?), this is the secondary display, it needs the resolution to be 1920x1080 and no touch since there is no touch config.
I will let you figure our the 4 screen config shown below.

Other folders have EDID info for Bally Alpha. It seems by looking at this that Bally is more picky about monitor types (or is that video chip?)
With all this information you'd think one would be able to get the ArgOS OS to boot up at least to the setup screen starting with just a backplane, and some parts.
cough
omegas_dano:
Great help, will try also to look the directory
