How hard would it be to go from Family 14 games to Family 20 games on my g23 cabinet? |

I have done it. It's best to swap out the SSD from the CPU first so you don't have to erase what is on it and it's easier to go back to Family 14 that way. You need the BIOS Boot chips, OS and Ascent install thumb drives. In order to set the machine up and install the OS and Ascent you will need a family 20 Diagnostic thumb drive (commonly called a Blue Kangaroo). That's the basics. You still get to use your Ekey 7 to do setup and install games and other functions very similar to the way it is done in family 14. The down side is there are no Show Boot Bios chips for the G23 so you must have the license dongle for each game. Complete game sets (installer and dongle) are difficult to find. I have a couple extra sets of the BIOS boot chips plus the OS and Ascent thumb drives if you want to get into Fam 20. Last time I looked there was a couple of Fam 20 Diagnostic drives on ebay, but no games for it though. That's about it. |

Thanks...hopefully more games will be available in the future and I'll think about the upgrade. :thank_you: |

After switching SSD and boot chips start with family 20 diagnostic and ekey? Wipe everything and then install OS first and then Ascent using those drives and the ekey (hard load)? Set up machine after that using ekey? Am I close? |
| idesign:
Yes, and you can also install games while you are at it using the diagnostic after installing the OS and Ascent. Later on you can install/add a game with the manage packages menu of the ekey. Be aware that many of the Fam 20 games out there do not play on a G23 though. They look for the 4.0 CPU and/or the touch pad. |
