Hi everyone!
Awesome site. Cant wait to check out all the knowledge. Just inherited 6 machines and I'm kinda lost. Looks like I have another hobby to add to the list. Looking forward to learning something new!

Just checking here. I was on the old board a while back and now see we have a new one. Looks and works great, and the old one is still there as an archive.

Very useful site with tons of knowledge.

Another new guy. Been heavily into pins for some time. Sold a couple at the show in Houston this past weekend and being as I cannot seem to leave a show empty handed I picked up 3 WMS dotmations at the swap meet. I figured this would be a great resource to see just how bad of a deal I have gotten myself into! (Jackpot Party, reasonably complete. Jackpot Stampede Deluxe, no CPU, no lower power supply. Perfect Match, no CPU, no lower power supply.)

Good day everyone. I came across the forum today. I picked up a slot machine at an auction today. Of course I'm all excited to get it home and start playing the one armed bandit and I get an error code. I guess I 'm going to have to read up on how these things tick because I'm a total newb. From what I've gathered so far I have a 2003 IGT square top upright which came from Trump Plaza in NJ machine name is "Reel Detectives". If anyone can point me into the newb section, where no question is a dumb question. Chips, optics, reset, it all sounds so scary.

Sounds like an S2000. Have the little speakers on each side about ear level? If so post there and you'll find all the help you need. And welcome aboard! It's S2000 and vision games.

And there are no dumb questions....when you don't know the answer.

ilovekittens · « **Reply #89 on:** December 27, 2014, 07:38:36 PM »

Yes it's an S2000. Solved my first problem on my own, and then ran into another shortly after. Already posted my first question in the s2000 subforum. Thanks. ILK

Hey there from Canada! I am known as MaxWar on various gaming forums.

I found this forum while looking for repair logs and PCB cleaning advices.

I am 32 and collect retro gaming items since 2010. I have a fondness for repairing stuff.
I also like arcade boards. So far I have only saved a NBA JAM board but recently I purchased a bundle of Non working Jamma boards for cheap.
I hope I can get at least one going! Hope to be sharing the process with you.

Shaggy · « **Reply #94 on:** March 13, 2015, 04:24:58 PM »

Maxwar, welcome to NLG! Many things to explore here and many experts. Glad to have you aboard.

Lizzo54 · « **Reply #95 on:** March 13, 2015, 05:12:02 PM »

Hi Maxwar. Good to see you have an interest in retro gaming. NBA Jam is a great game, I'm interested in what Jamma boards you picked up. Love to see projects in the works.

Lenny

maxwar · « **Reply #96 on:** March 13, 2015, 07:07:43 PM »

Thanks for the warm greeting guys!

The batch I just got is consisting of 9 unidentified non working jamma boards. Managed to get this for about 50$ shipped.
I could ID some but not all; ranges from bootleg/crap to very interesting psykio shmup. :p
I haven't done any more than a preliminary survey on them but in the next days I will take a good picture of each board and do a visual assessment of what it is and of any visible damage.
I am not an electronic expert but I am normally good enough to not make things worse. Got a steady hand and good equipment for soldering, about to purchase a rom programmer.

Maxwar
In my opinion check out the TL866A programmer. They are USB, relatively cheap, and work really well. Make sure you download the latest software upgrade (I think it's 6.10) and of course the 'chingless' directions are a little tough to deal with but you really don't need them.

Hehe, did you by any chance watch the video review of the TL866CS on eevblog? :p

It does seem like a good programmer for a low price, are you aware of a way to use 42 pins DIP roms on it though? Someone one another forum made me aware that it is not well suited to larger roms such as the 42 bin 27c322.

qbert · « **Reply #99 on:** March 14, 2015, 06:31:09 PM »

Not sure about 42 pin but I believe the A model can do 48 pin with an adaptor. The largest chips I program are 40 pin.
So I'm really not sure.
