You can just use a dime to turn that to lock/unlock mpu from the cage. Or you can replace it with a thumbluck, that's what I did.

Also that is a really old clear card. I would look for the 360 clear.

Many thanks, Any idea where I could get one of these? Ebay search was unfortunately resultsless.

I've a follow up question, I've planned to order also an OS Card, are this the correct one I need? https://www.ebay.ch/itm/370C-NEWEST-BALLY-ALPHA-2-PRO-OPERATING-SYSTEM-OS370C-USB-8GB-271640A/292920760968?hash=item4433701a88:g:LmAAAOSw~BRcQOOu:rk:1:pf:0. Are this also include the actually Bios Update, or what I would need additional if not? Is this compatible with the Bally Alpha 2 Install Chip 227207F installer card? Ore with version I need. Actually I'm would like to run Titanic, Cash Sping feat. Quick Hit and Michael Jackson W.B.S.S. on it.

There is no further bios update, you already have the latest version available for your mpu type. Also the 3 games you mentioned will work fine with the OS you already have. They will also run with the 370C OS.

I need help, I've try to install the Titanic Software from a USB Flash, everything works fine until I'm was in the setup from the game (with the test button). After I've set the Ticket Printer and other setting in the same menu the machine was freezing. After a cold start I couldn't not go on the setting (purple menu) screen with push the test button. I've made a factory reset (push the button) and new install the OS 366J and the Titanic game software the settings (test button) still does not work. I've also tried with the OS 370 and the Titanic game software with the same result. Does anyone have any idea what this could be about?

I've never had the issues you point to while installing it on my machine. Since you are able to install 366J I am assuming you have the latest bios for your MPU type. Are you sure you have main door open message on the screen during the setup procedure (it won't let you into the setup menu unless open door M is shown on the screen).

Thanks with the hint with the Door M, that was exactly the problem. I was now able to get the Titanic running and enjoy the whole weekend, thank you very much.

I still have a minor problem, I tried to set up the ticket printer. The Ticket Printer is a Bally GUR001209 Future Logic and in Device Setup the Voucher Printer is set to FutureLogic with 2D Barcode settings disabled. The test print from the settings works fine, but if I want to print while playing handpay always comes up (even with low amounts). I set Host Comm 1 (Protocol Select) to SAS Primary and Config Validation to System. Is there another setting that I would have to consider, or possibly have to set differently?

Unless you have a TITO installed, you cannot select system, it will look for a host to validate the ticket if you do that. You need to select standard if you do not have a TITO board installed in order to print tickets. Also understand that if you do not have a TITO board, the machine will not accept the printed tickets.

I've no TITO board I think. standard are not available in this setting, I've only enhanced and bally extended as choise in the dropdown.

Then you need to change to an SJUR chip that allows for standard.

Ok, do you have a helpful link where I can get it and how to install it? This would be great.

rickhunter · « **Reply #31 on:** February 18, 2019, 12:16:52 PM »

You can place a WTB in the classifieds for it. I believe California tribal allows for standard settings, just verify before you purchase with the vendor. If you pull out the MPU, on the top right corner near the batteries, there is a small socketed 8 pin chip that is the SJUR. It should have a label on it (sometimes it falls off) that says AVJUR.... When you get the new one, just swap them out. Just take note on the orientation of the chip's notch, it has to go the same way or it will not work.

What would I be looking for at the WTB? What would be a good title?

Figured it out, it's the Bally Alpha Jurisdiction Chip AVJURUSCATR0-02 California Tribal. Thanks again for your help!

alfa75 · « **Reply #34 on:** March 17, 2019, 02:41:41 PM »

I installed the AVJURUSCATR0-02 California Tribal, before the Game Setup the following message (see photo in the appendix). But the eprom was detected in clear mode and I could clear it too. Could it be that the eprom is not in working order, or what could be the reason?

rickhunter · « **Reply #35 on:** March 17, 2019, 03:26:26 PM »

Does using the original SJUR fix the problem, if it does, then your california tribal eprom might be bad. I have never seen an eeprom error on my alphas though. I would have assumed that if you had a bad sjur, you wouldn't have been able to even clear the machine, but again never having seen that error, I could not give you an answer with 100% certainty. Experimenting with known good components is how I would try to fix it.

alfa75 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 18, 2019, 12:08:26 AM »

Yes the original SJUR has fixed the problem, I will order an AVJURUSCATR0-02 California Tribal at another place and hope that it will be OK.

Now I got a new AVJURUSCATR0-02 California Tribal and used it. The error message did not appear anymore, but I now have the message: "Hard meters disconnected" (see also image), what else could this be, can adjust the settings of the game, even from the printer, but it does not start because of this message. As additional info, closing Door M didn't work either, I only opened it because otherwise I can't see the warning message.

Check the jumper on J26 of the backplane to make sure it's connected. That jumper (labeled COUNTERS), is there to bypass hard meters.

Thanks for your help. I found the J26, but there is already wired (look at the picture), where do I have to make the connection to make it work?

By the way, I got a message from Michael Jackson Icon that the door C is open, but I didn't find a door C in the manual and also in this forum.
