What version of sex and the city is this?

[blazehayes]

I have 2 questions. One is what sex and the city this pic of. I have the top Sign but I only have big diamonds and fabulous. I have the IPC and wanted to see if it was possible to run this title. Second is, will little shop of horrors require an IPC or is it considered a standalone game?
Thanks

That specific Sex and the City won't run.     Just the other two.

But Little Shop of Horrors, and the tall top vertical screen games Back to the Future, CSI, and Godzilla will run on an MLD screen machine with no IPC required.

The tall screen games will run with a normal top screen, but the top display will be sideways if you have a normal horizontal top screen machine.

Well not what I was hoping for. The wife really wanted to play that title. When you have a second, can you check your little shop of horrors of file? My zip file says 257 MB that does not seem large enough for a game. My breakfast at Tiffany’s there’s something wrong with the loader as well. I just have everything loaded and set to work with the IPC. I hate to put little shop of horror and have to wipe the machine and start over.

If you load a game that doesn't work.  You don't have to reload the machine.

To load a game, you use the ekey menu with 0 credits on the machine.  In the ekey menu, Game > Manage Packages.  Plug in your game loader flash drive, and if the games on the loader don't display, click scan to refresh the game list and select the game to install.  If it installs, exit and unplug the ekey and plug it in again if necessary and enable/configure the added game.  Refresh the paytables if it's an IPC game.  Exit and if there's no errors, should be ok.

If a game doesn't work and tilts or gives an error when selected.  Just plug the ekey back in again and go to Game > Manage Packages, the first screen is to add games, so click next at the bottom to the remove games menu, and it lists the games installed so you can select to uninstall the game that doesn't work.  Once it's uninstalled any error from it is gone.  No wiping the machine...    Just note the game ID's of all your games, as the game names aren't listed on these screens, only the Game ID's are listed.

Little Shop of Horrors   GI014002GG7B05   263,877,111 bytes  002 type, MLD screen machine
Breakfast at Tiffanys    GI014001JB8C02   1,920,891,740 bytes  001 type, STD screen machine

The file size is correct for Little Shop of Horrors.  It's not very large.

"Some" 002 game types will load and run on a standard screen machine. 

Just remember anytime you add a new game that requires an IPC, you have to refresh the paytables from the IPC or you'll get a progressive tilt.  For non IPC games, you don't have to refresh the paytables, just enable/configure the game.

I haven't tried to load Breakfast at Tiffanys on an MLD machine but I don't think it will run on one.  I did try to load Little Shop of Horrors on a standard screen machine, and it wouldn't work.  If I recall the game wouldn't even show up in Manage Packages in the ekey menu.   

There are generally only 6 games loaded on most IPC's that are multigame loaded out there.

MLD screen machines

GI014002IW5C01 - Sex and the City Big Diamonds
GI014002FY9C03 - Elvis The King

Standard screen machines

GI014001JB8C02 - Breakfast at Tiffanys
GI014001KB8C01 - Sex and the City Fabulous
GI014001JD5C05 - The Hangover
GI014001JV8C03 - Dirty Dancing

However...   Others found that some MLD screen games do run fine on a standard screen machine even through they are 002 type games.  And both the MLD games above that need the IPC, Big Diamonds and Elvis do still run on a standard screen machine.  So all six games above that your IPC is likely loaded with should run fine on a standard screen machine.

But not all 002 type MLD games will.

The following 002 type MLD games that don't require an IPC will also load/run on a standard screen machine. 

DBL 3X4X5X Top Dollar
Ghost Wilds
Dolly Parton
Back to the Future (requires it be installed by itself and no other games can be enabled, and requires special setup).
