but I don't think he picked the correct values in the key chip menu without link level 1 it will error link progressive down
or the cable not being plugged in.

LOL its part of the jackpot programming in psp
which I don't think you ever used.
Lets confirm here, you bought a glass kit with a working Mikohn system with all the correct cables
that you want to just slap into an S2000 machine.
Have you or have you not key chipped the machine.

F4 and F8 should changed to be M08 and MS08 for S2000

S2000 and most spectrums can not do custom messages.
The Cham II+ does them very easily.
once you get the Cham II+ and S2000 communicating and decide to change games and decide to adjust progressive values (no key needed) just connect the computer to the controller and start psp and make the changes.

--- Quote from: Foster on April 06, 2011, 04:05:49 PM ---J15 is the progressive port on the motherboard, J85 is the progressive port on the Communications port you can use either one.

--- Quote from: BR549 Auto Sales on April 06, 2011, 04:09:31 PM ---yes, so it is in the right spot then. This was set up on another slot before it was sent to me so I shouldn't have to connect this to a computer should I? Does it matter which SG chips I am using for any reason?

"Easily" is a relative term, Foster.  Once you have a working setup with the computer, the software, the cable, and the ChamII+, then yes, it's not difficult.  It can be a pain, however, to get to that point.   :89-

More than likely no, but if you want to go down the path of wanting to plug it in and have it pick up from where it left off, you may have to change any settings you made back to what they were when you got the item.  You stated earlier that you made changes to the settings compared to what it was set to when you first received it.

--- Quote from: BR549 Auto Sales on April 06, 2011, 09:36:22 AM ---I have made a few suggested changes in the menu address and the menu display areas, on the menu display, do I set the JP GRP tp SA0, SA1, or what?. I have it set to SA0 and I am getting a set of zeros on my display and it alternates to a C14. Any help on this?

--- Quote from: BR549 Auto Sales on April 06, 2011, 05:05:28 PM ---I started all over, did a clear, set then set everything up as instructed through the key chip config. I even set the multi denom and set up the progressive 7.3 as instructed and am still getting a "link progressive down" and the C14 on the progressive display. What else can I do at this point? If it matters, when I first got all of the mikon stuff hooked up correctly, it showed a 1001.01 on the progressive meter, so I know the meter seems to be working fine, should I go back and make any changes from my mikon board with the two round gray buttons? I'm at a total loss.
Thanks again,
David

MENU = ADDR
    PROTO = CON2
    GRADR = 255
    IDADR = 64
    RTR ADDR = OFF
    MACH ADDR = 1
MENU = DISP
   JP Limit = NO
   # DISPLAYS = 1
   JP GRP 1 = SA
   MFILE = 0  This is what I am using leave yours alone for now.
   ODSPEED1 = 10

   SIZE1 = 60 this is width of the display in pixels, default is 60. FYI The Height is 8.
Menu = SYST no need to go into those settings unless you want to test or reset it.
Jackpot Programming in PSP
Look at attached screen shot (yes I run PSP 3.0 on windows XP on Virtual Box on Mac OS X 10.6.6)

--- Quote from: Foster on April 07, 2011, 02:07:26 AM ---I sent him PSP 3.0, psp 2.0 manual as a reference (I know there are some changes between psp 2 and 3) and a Cham II+ manual.

--- Quote from: BR549 Auto Sales on April 07, 2011, 06:46:12 AM ---I made the changes on the menu address and displays as guided, now I am getting an all green screen on the progressive display, machine still says link progressive down. Is it possible that the re, black and white wires are not pinned to the connector properly? The small connector from the gray wire that goes into the J15 connection from the bottom to the top of the connector is white, black, red wires. Is that the correct order?

Just heading out the door but here is the pin out ,make sure the connection at J15 is fully seated.
also if the mikohn is completely green you have another issue going on.

Any ideas on this?
Thanks as always,
David
