Update...... So I took the whole board in. He said it was Pixel 4 that was corrupted. He cleared it and reinstalled it on the SIMM. I get home, do a RAM clear, Install the Boot Chip back in and I am getting the same message. (I get the colors and then a Pixel Error) He told me I should use a clear 22 on it. I have been using a Clear 40 which worked great on the original Gameking Software that was on it. That is all I have. Could this be the issue?

Key 17 is actually the proper key for your game software. It doesn't have a menu system or a clear function. Wouldn't make any difference anyhow, running a clear isn't going to fix your problem. Did he replace the SIMM card or just reflash it? Did you see it work afterwards? Reflashing for me has worked less than 1% of the time, usually the SIMM card itself is what is bad.

I am pretty sure he just re-flashed it. So you think it just needs a new SIMM altogether? He took it to another shop so I never saw it start up I don't know if he tested it or not.

Yeah, more than likely it is.

r13wood · « **Reply #24 on:** January 09, 2020, 07:04:31 PM »

I talked to him and he said that he changed out the whole SIMM. I thought maybe my MPU had bad connectors on the Pixel receivers, so I swapped all of the GMEs/PXLs/ect to another 3902 MPU and it is doing the same thing. It cycles through the colors and then brings up a Pixel ROM Signature Error. Not sure what causes a Signature Error. I did get some new reproduction "Munsters" glass from him very inexpensively, but it will do no good if I dont get this thing up and running.

maybe somehow the dip switches got bumped after he tested it?

Corrupt data, mismatched software, or bad hardware is what causes a signature error message. The machine reads the data from the simms while booting and compares the checksum from that data to a known value that is should be. If it doesn't match you'll get a signature error message (or in some cases a checksum error). That's what is happening in the background as you watch and wait as the screen colors rotate red/green/blue/purple/yellow.

Is anyone in the Southern California area that would know how to fix this? I am already invested way too much in shipping costs/GMEs/SIMMs ect.. I hope that the software numbers that I got are actually correct from the source that I got them from. That seems to be the only logical sense of why this is not working.

wizeone · « **Reply #28 on:** January 13, 2020, 02:19:08 PM »

just checked your base and gme #'s.. they appear to be correct.

r13wood · « **Reply #29 on:** January 13, 2020, 02:32:56 PM »

These were the software I was told I needed. Can somebody please confirm them to make sure it is the correct software set?

It's correct. Wizeone posted PSRs for your chipset. It's 9L single denomination though, not multi as you wrote.

r13wood · « **Reply #31 on:** January 15, 2020, 06:56:50 PM »

Thanks for all your help on this topic everyone. I am not really sure what to do next on it. It seems to be one problem after anotherI have already spent too much money on this software set. If anyone has further suggestions for next steps that dont require me shipping or buying more, I would appreciate it.

Tilt · « **Reply #32 on:** January 15, 2020, 10:18:18 PM »

Not sure what you expect anyone to do for you. Your software is bad. You can buy your own programmer, replacement SIMM, and fix it yourself. Or just put your old board/software back in the machine, cut your losses, and call it a day. Next time purchase your software from a reputable vendor who will take care of problems like this.

I read this thing.
I have 2 questions.
Did you ever see it work at the guy's place or not?
Will he test your MPU along with the chips to see if he can get it going for you?
It can't cost too much to mail the whole board with questionable software to him in a flat rate box?

r13wood · « **Reply #34 on:** January 23, 2020, 07:19:35 AM »

I did not see it work at his place. He took it to another shop. All of the DIP settings were correct. If anyone can burn me new PXL SIMMS that work, I will buy them. It seems to be the PXL, not sure if the CGF would give a similar error, but I will just cut my losses and buy new PXLs for it. He gave me a really good deal on the glass, so I guess I can deal with the loss of the Pixels, lol.

Trying to reply to your PM r13wood. Clean out your inbox. It is full...â€¦â€¦...RB

Machine is FINALLY up and running. Thanks to RB for the help and the working SIMMs. The game took a really long time to clear, but in the end the it booted up and entered the Key Chip menu, and is running great! Thank you all for your help!
I have 1 more question on this machine maybe someone can answer. I am having a hard time finding the menu to change the credit accepted limits and coin acceptor demonination. Right now it will only let me put a $50 in it. Anything past that spits the bill back out. I remember doing it a few times on the GK software that was previously on it, but now I cant find it. It is a key chip option? It has a hopper but I use a printer to cash out. I just use it to store nickels that go into the coin drop. I would like it to be able to accept nickels to store change but cant find that menu either.

sixcardmark · « **Reply #38 on:** January 27, 2020, 11:23:59 PM »

Glad those simms did the trick.

You need to raise the credit limit and maybe the acceptor limit too. No keychip required.

With NO credits on machine:
press white button
select setup
select machine options
select limit setup

You will need to keychip machine to set denom and enable printer.

r13wood · « **Reply #39 on:** January 28, 2020, 10:10:59 AM »

Yea. Thats what I did on the GK software that was on the board but now there is no "Select Limit Setup" option. I attached a picture of the menus I have.
