Title: I-GAME - ERROR AND OTHER ?????
Post by: GOS on October 05, 2014, 08:29:33 AM
 latest - RUNS KINDA SORTA.   I moved the PXLF SIMM CARD to the middle then left slot.  Still same PIXEL error - turned on and off numerous times.  THEN out of the blue (by the way screen would show various colors when powered up before the pixel error)  - THE GAME (Stinkin Rich) came up!! I played it for approx 5 minutes - then during a win calculation the screen display was lost - got all kinds of pixel distortion - wavy lines etc - finally went black no sound etc.  I turned off - back to my pixel error again. On and off numerous times then I get INITIALIZING the system please wait - game comes up and plays - game played for over an 1 hour - I turned game off.  Will see what I get tomorrow.

1 Your Pixelf simm might be bad or loose.  Remove it, clean the contacts with a pencil eraser and re-seat.  If it still gives you the error, make sure the dip switches are set as follows from 1 to 4 on, on, on, off.
2. If the burn-in is not so bad, you may not notice it a whole lot while playing.  If it bothers you a whole lot, get an LCD monitor, or like you said, switch it to poker.  I would not invest in another CRT.  You could also just buy a completely different game that you really like and get a matched set of game and glass.  It is cheaper to buy glass than software if you want to go the other route you mentioned.
3. Stick your finger in the hole toward the top and push up on a flat edge that you will find there.  It is meant for a cam tumbler that pushes it up and moves a latch up to open the door.
4. Yes you can change it to coin in/out.  Depending on what you have inside the machine, you will need the whole coin mech assembly with optics, a hopper, and a coin-in bracket.

thank you for the PRECISE response - I will act on your recommendation for the error code.

Can anyone fill in missing links - that is STINKIN RICH GLASS or SOFTWARE for SWINGIN or GLASS and SOFTWARE to make it a POKER?  Can move this to CLASSIFIED if needed.

As for coin conversion - S2000 parts would work?   optic thru to hopper?   Then reprogram to change from TITO to coin?

No purchased in Florida - who ever sold it to a woman - taped off the top and bottom glass - lousy way to treat a customer!!!

    i removed the PXLF simm - and cleaned as recommended - and could not find any DIP SWITCHES.
    after reinstalling I get a different message "WRITE STROPE ENABLED"

Top right corner of the Simm. I can see them in the picture you posted.  Little black "chip" with 4 white switches, they are tiny.  The last time I got a strobe error was a simm with the switches in the wrong position.  See photo attached.

Found them they are correct see pic

Leaning toward a bad/zapped simm.  Anybody close to where you are that can test the simm out?
Title: Re: I-GAME - ERROR AND OTHER ?????
Post by: GOS on October 06, 2014, 07:54:52 AM
is this something a computer tech could check?  simm cards are a new process to me as are the Igames. 
Title: Re: I-GAME - ERROR AND OTHER ?????
Post by: rickhunter on October 06, 2014, 08:04:23 AM
No, these Simms are proprietary IGT,  either an IGT i-game tester or someone with an IGT simm reader/writer can help you.

i am trying to change the game or match glass to the software - if i end up changing the game then the simm card becomes a non-issue - if I end up finding the glass to match the software then I will have to address the simm card - thank you for all your help - will see what my classified ad does for me.

Did you try to cycle the switches? (flip one way then back to the position there at)
Some times the contacts get dirty and that will clean them.
Title: Re: I-GAME - ERROR AND OTHER ?????
Post by: GOS on October 06, 2014, 12:29:56 PM
no luck - reset the bit switch - recleaned the edge connection still flips between the PIXEL error and the WRITE STROPE ENABLED messages.  Will wait to see what I can get to get this game whole again - that is the correct glass (then I will need to resolve the error) - or new software to match glass (with the hope new software will resolve)  or a new kit.  Have placed classified ads to see what happens.  thank you

good chance  you might have a miss matched  pixel labels mean nothing
Title: Re: I-GAME - ERROR AND OTHER ?????
Post by: GOS on October 06, 2014, 01:19:19 PM
are you saying the PXLF simm may not be the correct one (someone changed the label)??
Title: Re: I-GAME - ERROR AND OTHER ?????
Post by: buybestslots on October 06, 2014, 01:25:29 PM
your labels  don't look  right
Title: Re: I-GAME - ERROR AND OTHER ?????
Post by: GOS on October 06, 2014, 01:29:51 PM
you have a very good eye if you can read the labels on the 2 simms and spot a forgery.  kudos my friend.

I'm pretty sure your just over thinking what your seeing on the screen.
 
Try this turn the machine on and if you get a screen like you posted in reply 6 turn the jackpot key and keep turning the key untill the screen either tells you to press test button for three seconds or untill the screen will not advance to a new page. If the page stops advancing, tells us what it says. If we hope it goes to "press test button" follow all on screen instructions.
 
If you would like for me to test your PXL Simm for you that's no problem. I can test it in my simm burner but I think a better test is just install it in a machine. The software  I have for Stinkin Rich uses a base chip I0001311 and Game chip G0003584. I don't have any info. on the eprom set you have I0003044 and G0004820 I guess we have to assume they are in fact for Stinkin Rich?? C0003072 are the correct simms for Stinkin Rich

wish someone had told me that earlier - so when I get the pixel rom error turn the reset key several times.  will do - thanks.

Just stop being afraid of this machine !! There's nothing you can F*** up that can't be fixed. Anytime you get a error start turning the key until the screen stops advancing, then we will see the true error.
 
Believe about a quarter of what you read on this site !!  No you don't have missmatched PXL simms. You never got a missmatch error did you. Look at the picture you posted in reply 6, the machine thinks you have C0001676 Simms, C0001676 are the correct simm software for Stinkin Rich ( The CGF and the PXL Simms will allways have the same number )
 
No no one can tell from the labels on the Simms if they are correct or not, there are no pictures of the simm labels posted.  Yes the labels on your eproms are home made which make one think someone programed those eproms.   :Scratch-Head: :Scratch-Head: If you think about in maybe that's the reason most of us have a eprom programmer, so we can program a F***ing chip. ( By the way the pic. in #6, the machine thinks the eproms are programed correctly)( are they the correct eproms for your game, I don't know)

the PX error is solid - nothing happens using the J/P key!!!!

Paul  Sorry, none of my nasty  remarks were from anything you said. You know I've been on the rag for a few months now. My Wife told me she doesn't love me anymore, my Son is pissed off at me and my Dog died in 1994.

GOS Simms do sometimes have problems. Last year I spent about 6 thousand dollars on used simms and it looks like between 10 and 12 percent of them are no good.
 
If you want this Stinkin Rich game, I can send you another PXL Simm to try. If it fixes your problem the simm cost you 20 bucks, if it doesn't fix the game just send it back.
 
If screen burn in is a problem I suggest you go to a game that has a dark colored back ground example Hoot Loot has a black back ground and you can't see the burn in.

Are you sure you havent been "on the rag" since 1994 (man i just have to love you guys to not throw a fit over this), your wife stopped loving you in 1994, and you still have the damn dog today???? Just asking... :24: :24: :24:

Buzz you didn't hurt my feelings.
I just posted something that was dumb
if I'd read the post, so I deleted it .

 Buzz - i appreciate your explanation for SIMMS issues - I really don't care if the STINKIN RICH game ends up as the GAME OF CHOICE for this box - I am just trying to get a good game with the items on hand - glass and software don't match.   Whichever way this game ends up - STIKIN RICH - SWING - or as a POKER - I would like to make sure the board is GOOD and its only a corrupted SIMM card. As for your offer of a working SIMM card to TRY - that is very generous of you.  Let me see how the parts I need to finish this box fall into place - as I may end up with all new software anyways.  Thank you

Post by: GOS on October 10, 2014, 02:37:42 PM
GOOD NEWS - the machine has worked for the past 2 days!!!!! all I did was  move the PIXEL simm card to a different slot.  Didn't come up right away but after several power ups - seems to have fixed the issue. AND I think I have located the glass!!!!!  My next endeavor is to change to COIN and BILL  vs the TITO.  I have the coin parts (head - holster - comparitor - chute and hopper.  I think I have the key chip - may need instructions.   
I also got the software for the SWING game - so I may end up listing the glass and software for this game later.

The labels are from a home label maker, not the typical labels that IGT would put on their chips.  The chips and likely the SIMM were programmed after the machine left the factory by a third party.  As such, it's possible that the SIMM is not programmed correctly, or that there's some physical issue with the SIMM itself.
