Will Helix software work with a Viridian WS? Thanks.
-
Pretty much all of them will. They come on CFAST cards so will have to be converted to CF cards.

I'll add that some require specific hardware such as a dynamic button panel or a monitor that needs to be able to hit some of the higher resolutions of a wide screen.

What game have you found that requires a higher res Wide Screen? I never had an issue with screen res on a WS with any Helix or Helix + game. I was even able to play Buffalo Gold Revolution, a Gen9 MarsX game, on mine after I added a USB touch controller.
Also, the OLED deck is a must but most of the WS Viridians come with them.

Sorry i missed that he had a WS to start with. I have a standard Viridian that i've had to add a hi-res monitor to.

Thanks guys, still trying to decide between regular and wide screen. I am finding some Helex software out there , that's why I asked. KAD

I would say if you are going to run newer games I would get the WS. I have a regular which was a good place to start but i'm looking for a WS now. The regular with the WS carrier board does play a lot of them but i believe to play the lightning Link games you need the LCD buttons and i haven't seen a good way to incorporate the LCD buttons into that cabinet.

I can play LL games on my WS Viridian with a green board and standard button panel no problem...
I do prefer LL on my dynamic button panel WS cabinet...

What game number is the ll?
-
What game number is the ll?
Any LL that I have tried...
...I had 5 different titles and knew people that had titles I didn't.
I've had success with most all the CFast card software that I personally converted to CF card to run in my MK7. You're results may vary.
All I have ever owned were WS cabinets...

I agree with all the above.All the LL I have tried in a WS machine worked.
Most LL will work in a narrow machine also with a WS carrier board with the exception of titles with the 4.00.C OS.That one will give you a error of "needs a second screen".
The games look much better in a WS machine.

Thank you all for the responses. I’ll give it a try. I looked at the PAR sheet and it said LCD required so I didn’t even try. I’ll load it up today and see!
Again thank you! Justin

So what machine did you get?
-
I have a regular Viridian with a red carrier board and have installed a Hi-res widescreen monitor in the top. Also installed a CFast card reader in it. I want to find a WS cabinet so it's a little less Frankenstein-ish. :rotfl:
-
Well I guess never fully trust the PAR sheets and what it says. :banghead: Installed and it works! It does have the 4.00.C OS.
Pictures attached.
Thanks all!
-
That version works because you have a widescreen monitor on top.If it was a narrow top screen it would come up with the needs two monitor error.
The way your machine is,thats the best you can do till you find a WS machine.I did the same till I found my WS.

Care to school me on how you installed a CFast card reader in your MK7?
I had no clue that was possible...
-
I think he meant to say the sata to cfast adapter.

Does that allow a CFast card to plug into a MK7 carrier board somehow?
All I see is a USB slot in the front of the logic box on the carrier board???

I'll send some pictures of how I did it. I used a CFAST to SATA reader and made a cable to power it Yes it's great as you no longer have to convert!!
-
Here what it looks like.
You can use a adapter or a SSD
The SSD runs a little slower though.
jakah440 mounted his,which is nicer.I set mine just on top of the carrier box.

One thing I want to point out.
If you use the adapter with a CFast 3ME4 card (which most of the newer software is on) the machine wont see the card.You need to put it on a CFastME card.

So I could end up back where I am now still having to convert to make it work...
Maybe not worth it to change now?
I like how you guys are thinking!
That's a slick idea...
I never realized that is how a hard drive connected to a MK7.
I had seen games on hard drives in the past but had no clue how they were used...
-
The advantage of CFast over cf is they are faster.The machine boots faster with the CFast.
To run a factory Aristocrat program that’s on a ssd you need to makes changes to the chips in U2 and U3.You remove the bios chip because the bios is on the ssd drive.
Hopefully Chad from the facebook nlg group is taking notes. 😀

What USB touch controller did you use for this conversion?
Also, the OLED deck is a must but most of the WS Viridians come with them.
-
Micro-touch USB controller with the USB cable. It's a straight forward conversion. Just disconnect the serial controller and add the USB version along with the cable plugged into a USB port on the backplane. I still have an extra one if you need it.

Just for future reference...
This is the USB controller I put in mine. Got it off eBay.
https://www.ceronix.com/product/cpm2484/ (https://www.ceronix.com/product/cpm2484/)
I think I got the USB cable from Ceronix but you can also make your own...
It was like $5 but cost $10 to ship... :24:
https://www.ceronix.com/product/cps1980/ (https://www.ceronix.com/product/cps1980/)
I failed to get Buffalo Revolutions to load. I was told it required a USB touch.
I swapped out my controller and Revolutions loaded just fine...
I ran Revolution in my cabinet with a static button panel.
I was told Revolutions was a Gen9 game?
I have Walking Dead 3 but haven't tried it yet.
It is a EdgeX game that requires a certain resolution [4K] 32" monitor, virtual button deck and Vertex controller if I understand correct...

Would it be possible to have you take a picture of the Molex end of that cable. Ceronix now wants 24.95 to ship that 5.00 cable. I think i would like to make one instead!!
Thanks, Justin

If you call them they will adjust shipping to around $10...
...their website can't handle tiny items.

LL games or LC games?
I purchased 5 LL games for helix a while ago with the intent of changing to cf and using in my varidian, however was told shortly after by 'techs' that LL games will not work standalone. So they have been sitting in a draw going to waste
-
If they aren’t connected to a vertex controller they will be Lightning Cash instead of Lightning Link.
Do you have a list of what software you have?
-
Iv been told that's the case if the game says LL/LC. Mine only say L/L. See photo
-
Those games will play as LC but they are Australia games and need the controller to make them work
-
Idesign is correct about them being Australia software.
World base like in my picture will play on standalone (no vertex controller needed)
Are you from Australia?
-
NSW has separate software for Lighting Link and Lightning Cash e.g. Bengal Treasures LL (NSW) is 10163521 whereas Bengal Treasures LC is 10163522. Or 1.01-63521 etc. if you're used to seeing the dots and dashes.
-
I am located in Australia. The games I have are NSW based software.
So all in all, my games can't be played standalone? 🥲
-
I forgot NSW does have different ones for Link and Cash unlike World base.
