WMS CPU Upgrade Needed?
« on: November 28, 2024, 11:56:27 am »
Hi folks,
I have a WMS BB1 single monitor machine and have come to find out the largest OS cards that I can load successfully load are 64MB.  If I try to load a 128MB or higher OS card for any series (E1.1, D1.3, etc.), I get the 'Prepart DSS signature validation failed' error message.  The CPU in the BB1 has A-017478-10-00 on the board and W2164604 on a sticker on the outside.  The BIOS chip is a SBOT-00001-2000.  I am guessing the memory on this CPU is limited to 64MB?  Is there anything I can do to either upgrade this CPU, or do I need to go to a different CPU?  I have attached a picture of the CPU itself.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated!  Thanks much.

That error message points to a corrupt OS card, not a memory size issue.  You have the latest bios and have the latest cpu that was released for the BB1.  I can't make out the size of your memory sodimm from your photo, but the max memory for a bb1 is 512mb.  When you power up, you should see the memory size as the game performs the POST memory test.

Hi Rick,
Here is a closer picture of what I believe is the memory card.  Can you ID it? Thanks, Kelly

I cannot reliably tell.  When you first power up, you should see a bios boot screen with the memory count as it is being tested.

OK, I captured this pic when it was booting up.  Does this information tell you anything? Thanks
