Sorry, I should have asked what platform it is. Is it an eMotion, Cashline, or I don't think I've seen an Atronic poker machine?

[pkbirchbay]

I don't know how to tell attached some photo's

front and inside. Soory still learning how to attach

I think the idplate says-

ATRONIC

SERIAL NO   11023558

MODEL NO   VICL64P

DATE OF MANUFACTURE   11-03

115V   60HZ   4 AMPS

Ok, its a Cashline. We need to establish the platform before we can help, as resolutions are not the same for all Atronic machines (just like they differ for S+ versus S2000). The CL in the model # is an indicator as well as the pics of the inside.

Let me look through some notes and I'll see what CRC Config error is and how to resolve it.

Ok, I have good and bad news. Good news is there were several instances of the error on the NLG Archive site which gave the resolution. Bad news is that it appears you will need to perform a Clear and Configuration set-up on the machine. Possibly just a Clear, since your machine is not a Progressive (from what I can tell from the glass). Apparently, there are different versions if the Clear chips (for different game), and i am not certain which one you need.

We have done a few Cashlines, but they were Progressives and we needed a dongle to configure them. Lets hope your game does not, as the dongles can be pricey ($200?). Clear chip and Config chips will only be approx $15/each.

Try contacting Blueridge Slots (vendor on the home page here, user name blueridgeslots) as he has been of assistance in the past with the Clear chips and, if necessary, the dongle.

As far as I know it was never progressive. I am getting a free new game  board for the machine. By replacing the board will that fix the problem or will I have to still clear and re config the system. and by the way thanks .

Well good, maybe the fact it is not a progressive will save you some headache. Whenever you change a game EPROM or install a different game board, you will need to do a Clear and Config. The machine needs to be told "Hey, something (the game or game board has changed), forget about the old one" (This is the Clear.) and then "Here's the new game or game board, and here's the settings for it" (This is the Config). If the memory is not cleared, the machine will still look for the last game that was installed. If it finds anything has been changed (such as game EPROMs or game board), it will give the CRC Config error.

You do not even need a new game board for each game you want to play, you only need the game EPROMs.  They can be installed onto the game board you have now. Since the one you are getting is free, then it's no big deal, but it will save you money in the future if you just buy the EPROMs (and matching glass if you want). The EPROMs and glass will be sold as a "Game Kit"...here's a pic of a Game Kit with a Round Top glass, but it gives you an idea of what a Game Kit would look like:

OK thanks for the info. Would like to change it to a straight jacks or better which they made also. But need to find the clear and config chips first then try to find the game board I would like.                                 Doing the work is easy if you have the parts! don't need the complete kit just the chips. So if you know where point the way Thanks

[CVslots]

Since you may be sticking around for awhile, a donation would make you a Contributing Member, and then you can post in the classifieds section here? Or you can try some of the vendors, but Ateonic stuff is not the easiest to find. Again, I would start with Blueridge. He may even have the game software you're looking for. I don't know that poker was a real popular Ateonic game family, I personally, have be ever even seen one until you're post.

[pkbirchbay]

 I have made contact with whom you said. and will be doing what you said. Thanks

[pkbirchbay]

Any Idea what would cause this in the first place?

[CVslots]

I think someone changed either the game eproms or a board in the machine, or maybe it was caused by a dead battery. If the battery went dead the machines internal memory would have been lost, and now the machine no longer recognizes the game.

yes, I would check battery to make sure it is ok, very easy to do with meter.

[pkbirchbay]

Can check that. But know for a fact the board or chips have not been changed. Thanks

[pkbirchbay]

Where the heck is the battery on this thing? This machine is very clean and look brand new so it has been well taken care of. But can not find the battery where I think it should be. Thanks
