Is There a List or Index of Which SP Chips go With Specific Games?

[Seven]

I have an S-Plus 2 coin Red White and Blue that has incorrect chip(s). I have reached the conclusion because the glass is for a two coin but pushing max bet button will bet five credits and, if using coins, five coins will be accepted but the sixth will drop through. The chips on the MPU are SP731 and SS4410.


I located the Game Bible for this game but it lists only the SS or reel chips. Link:

The SS4410 chip is not listed on that chart.


I have an SS7883 and it looks like that reel chip is good to go with the game but I don't know about the SP or game chip.


Is there a list or index that will show what SP or game chips are to be used in this game?

SS4410 is shown for the game called "Satellite", which is a 5 coin game:

You should remove the SS4410 and install the SS7883 chip that you have. The SP731 chip is ok.

When you look at the S+ Game Bible for the 2 coin RWB game you will see that it is a Type 0 game, this is shown near the top of the screen just under the game name. This is how IGT categorizes the S+ games according to similar features. Also shown in the chart under the "Stops" column you will see the code for the reel strips, it is code "ABC" for all the SS chips listed. This means the reel strips in the RWB machine are all 3 different and they must be in the correct reel position. And since all of the SS chips in the chart have the same reel strip code ABC then you can use any of the SS chips shown. Just select one that has the player payback percentage you'd like to have. Your SS7883 chip has one of the lower percentages, if you wanted to get a higher one like 95-97% it might make the game more fun to play. There are folks here on NLG that can provide an SS chip to you.

Because RWB is a Type 0 game you need to use an SP chip that is compatible with Type 0 games. You also need to take into account that some SP chips are made for use only on 10mhz mpu boards or only on 16mhz boards. Many SP chips will work with either one. So you have a lot of choices on SP chips. The higher numbered SP chips often have more features than the lower numbered ones. You can use any of the SP chips that are compatible with a Type 0 game and that are compatible with your mpu board. If your mpu has a round blue volume adjust it is the 10mhz mpu - otherwise it is the 16mhz mpu.

Your SP731 chip is compatible with Type 0 games, so you don't have to replace it.

The SP chip also controls the bill validator id protocol (a communication method), it will be either ID022 or ID023. This isn't normally a problem because most bill validators have a dipswitch so you can select either protocol. But if your bv is an older one it might only have ID022. In that case you'd want to use an SP chip that has ID022, or get the bv updated to newer software that has ID023.

Here is a list of many of the SP chips:

Thank you rokgpsman, I'll try the SS7883 chip. The MPU has a round blue volume adjust at the top.

That SS7883 chip should get the machine to working correctly, as long as the reel strips are the right ones for RWB game.

Your mpu is the 10mhz style, that's what most owners prefer, if has a lot less noise in the sound than the 16mhz mpu.

And Thank You for your contribution to support the NLG website!

Installed the SS7883 and, upon firing it up, had error code 67. Found these instructions on this site:
Power off the machine, then back on. You should then see a 61 displayed in the winner paid window.  When you get a 61 press and hold the white test button next to the power switch until you hear a "Ding." Once you get a 61 1 close door completely and turn the jackpot reset key one time.

Quickly had two pays of 160 credits each (5 cent machine). Amount paid corresponds to symbols on strips and payment amount on glass.

Thanks again for the help.
