Title: Clear card difference
Post by: Hertz14 on February 10, 2021, 08:54:56 PM
As part of my ongoing education in slot diversity, I’ve started playing around with a bb2, game swaps and clearing differences. The clear I was using is an 1851 which I’ve read is a fast clear. I recently tried a 64mb 1810, and it would read thru the bios and look like everything was going ok, when then a blue bar appeared on each screen. This would normally be where a “call attendant” message would appear during gameplay, but the bars were blank. Waited about 10 mins and nothing changed. No green clear confirmation screen. So I tried putting the os back in, restart, and it loaded up just like nothing happened. So obviously it didn’t clear.


So my question is: what’s the difference between the two clears besides the file size? Is it speed? Did I not wait long enough? Or is it simply that I have a bad clear card?


I know if it ain’t broke.... but I can’t resist.

1810 should work fine with a bb2.  And you should never get to the point where it goes into blue boxes.  As the machine boots and it validates the card, does it actually say validating SCLR-000-1810?

I’ll run thru and check again tomorrow, but I think I remember seeing the file name. It’s not an oem card, so there’s a chance it’s not good.

If the card passes validation, it has valid software of some type, the issue is whether or not you have the right software on it.

Tested again, it reads the 1080, but then after it says invalid. Must be a bad copy. Sandisk 64mb card.

Yes, it is failing validation, software is corrupt.
