Few IGT G23 Questions

[Matt411]

Hey all! Just sold my Game King 6.4 machine and got this beautiful G23 machine - big thanks to Chris for the awesome deal on this. It's been a fun new learning experience with this machine and I just had some questions.

So I play all kinds of games on mine hence why I have lots of pokers enabled - I think they put on the GK deluxe software (8.3R) - it even has Ultimate X poker which was a surprise! I have an e key + diagnostic and eventually I'll want to change up & add different games, especially slots. I know there's a limit with the NVRAM - mine is at around 83%. Have some questions below feel free to answer any / all of em.

QUESTIONS FROM A G23 NOOB:

1. I don't have an OS installer and would like to get one incase I ever need to do a wipe or whatever - based on the photos of my brain box & machine, what OS am I looking to buy? Is one better than another? (I have e-key and diagnostic)

2. Can individual games that are part of the game king package be uninstalled to free up NVRAM? For example there's some poker games I don't want, can I uninstall those while still keeping the game king interface?

3. I have TITO - if I ever had to wipe OS, is that easy to set up again and should I take photos of my current settings just incase? If so what settings should I photo?

4. I believe I have a HDD, is it possible to upgrade to a SSD and if so any particular brand and does it have any noticeable affect on performance and boot up time?

5. In regards to the show boots, which, correct if wrong, make it so you don't need license dongles for new games? does my machine have them? I notice upon boot I get a tilt that says "game license tilt" then it goes away after about 5 seconds.

6. Any way to tell if my monitor is the 3d one? I don't have any 3d games to test - also if it isn't, can 3d games still run on a regular lcd?


 Ty, everyone on this forum over the years even since I bought my first game king in 2014 has been super helpful and kind!

2.   NO.

4.   You can just clone to SSD, SanDisk works well in my experience.

5.   Correct, if you have show boot you can just install games without license dongles.  You most likely have show boots.  It's normal to get tilt at boot and then it goes away.

6.   Your screen does not look 3D to me.  3d games will not play on a normal monitor.

PS, A Game King video from Top Thrill Matt inspired me to buy my own G23

Oh wow haha that's one of my YouTube channels! That was my first and great machine, sold it locally but when I saw demos of a g23 and how many of the kinda newer slots and stuff you can add I just had to upgrade lol. Just hard to find ppl selling the games, only a few on eBay.
