I would try to see if it will accept a one dollar bill.

If it does, then the firmware flashed to it needs to be upgraded so it "sees" the large headed bills....one dollar bills are the only ones around with the older small heads on them.

I've been trying to get the regular Ironman game to work on my BB3.  Driving me nuts for days!  Willy Wonka plays perfectly so video and other components are fine.

Since it's a Gamefield title, the original machine of course needs the 32" lower touchpanel.   Have one on order (well, backordered), but the guy I bought the game from was able to get it to load and play on his upgraded BB2 without the gamefield touch panel just fine.  Which is REALLY confusing...

It's jumpered, and I confirmed my cabinet is being detected as a gamefield xD.  Wondering if the cabinet type is the issue, and it needs to be set to a different cabinet type for Ironman to run on it without the 32” gamefield touchscreen present & only the OEM BB2 touchscreen being detected & initialized.

I connected two 32” 1920x1080 displays and I can load the game fine, no tilts, goes to the initial setup screen.  I have to leave the BB2's 22" OEM touchscreen connected, no video, just the touchscreen connected. Otherwise it halts for no touchscreen detected.  And the touchscreen is only needed to complete initial setup of the machine.

But once I reach the initial setup screen after loading.  If I just tap the blank touchscreen, it immediately core dumps with “couldn’t compile keymap” and “cannot find mode 1920x1080”.

My guess is the game itself doesn’t like the BB2s OEM touchscreen for not having a 1920x1080 keymap as it’s a different resolution.  I don’t think the OEM BB2 touchscreen has a 1920x1080 keymap, so I think once the Ironman game is loaded, when it gets feedback from the touchscreen…and it doesn't see a keymapping for 1920x1080 size, that makes it crash. 

But since his works fine like this, with two 32" displays and just the BB2's 22" OEM touch controller connected, there must be something else set on his machine so it works on his.  Perhaps a different cabinet jumper configuration in place?  Or an EDID detective box on the display cable?  Once initial setup is done, while he can't make the proper touches on one of the bonuses without a 32" touch screen so it's hung, he can use the OLED panel to bet and spin, as well as get past any of the other bonuses without the 32" touchscreen and just two 32" 1080 displays.

Thanks in advance!  Any suggestions or ideas are totally welcome!  I'll try anything!  My bet is on a different cabinet type but I've tried all sorts of combinations.  Maybe just not the correct combination!  Some of them just make the primary display garbled.  But with any cabinet setting I've tried, just touching the BB2 touchscreen always crashes it with the same error after the game is loaded.   Don't know of anything else I can set with the BB2's OEM touchscreen still connected so it doesn't halt for no touch panel found, yet won't crash the game when it is connected!  lol

I'd be happy even if it displays sideways just to see it functional until I get the actual 32" touch screen.

Hi, have you made progress on this? I have a new NXT3.2 conversion with the Gorilla Chief II game, and it has the exact same behavior, touch the touch screen at setup and it crashes. I have not made any changes to the cabinet ID (I expected a proper error if this is the issue) nor do I have any scaler attached.

TIA, Steve

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "thinner" but they ARE different...you bought white ones, instead of the ones with yellow background?
The OLEDs you've put in may not be the exact same size or resolution as the yellow ones that were originally installed on the deck.
I would get two more new white ones because if those yellow ones are original, they will die soon.
There's a definite life expectancy of them (about 40,000 hours set at half brightness), and most of it was used up when they were ON in the casinos 24/7.

Do the math....8,760 hours equals 1 year....except a leap year...lol

I went thru spininc.com and used their contact us email to ask about one. It took a day or two, but they have them, and it was inexpensive. I was already planning on ordering something else, so with the combined shipping it was a super good deal. Hopefully this helps!

Your 1st photo indicates that you've changed the game chip and the MPU is seeing that it's not the correct chip.
Did you mess with them?
Opening and closing the door a couple of times should erase all "stacked" error messages.
Your green and amber LED lights on the MPU are ok....as long as the red one doesn't light up.

Pressing the Test button is only supposed to be for entering programming menus...not for clearing anything - unless you've changed chips.
If you're losing settings, your MPU may be suspect.
Without me going back thru 120 Reply's, can you post a clear photo of the socketed chips on the MPU?
Also, a photo of the green Varta battery and that area.
Something is causing that CRC checksum error.
That's a major error indicating that the MPU is seeing a possible major programming fault with your Game chip.

Finally, if you disable the bill acceptor, how will you get credits on the machine to play?
Does the machine have a coin comparitor mechanism?
