Howdy! So for I have been on a quest to convert my IGT S2000 5X Pay into a 5X Pay Double Spin. I purchased the strip for the 3rd reel that is needed and I used a SB001000 base chip and the appropriate SS chips for my 2 coin version. That worked fine except I was stuck with legacy sound and I am not a big fan of legacy sound.😞. So the quest continued. No one seemed to know if there was a S2000 native SB chip made for the 5X Pay Double Spin theme ( I have since found there is but no one seems to have the chip or the file😞) but the Richard Petty Theme as it turns out is a 5X Double Spin clone!😊. Yay!! Well not so fast! I would come to find out that though it is a clone the strips need to be offset for it to work right. So after spending some time I have figured out how much that offset needs to be and I will try to document it here as best I can!😎
Reels 1 & 2 use strip number 84859700. With them loaded onto the reels properly with the notches in place, take a straight edge and make a mark right at the top of the cherry symbols. That will be where the edge of the strip should be when offset. (Pic 1 & 2)
Reel number 3 uses strip number 84604600. With that strip loaded onto the reel properly with the notches in place, take a straight edge and make a mark right at the top of the Double Bars symbol. That will be where the edge of
the strip should be when offset. (Pic 3 & 4)
Then using the appropriate Richard Petty SB chip for 2 or 3 coin everything should work properly and you will be able to have Richard Petty sound or any othe DSV chip you would like play while running the game!😎
Hopefully this all makes sense and hopefully someday if we can locate SB100625 this won’t be necessary but until then hopefully this will help someone out!!😊
