Is RAM clear needed to load games on G23 (also a few more questions)

[froggy2066]

I just bought a IGT G23 and have a EKEY on the way. I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with

1. I'm wanting to purchase a few game loaders and add the games to the machine will i need to do a RAM clear in order to add more games?
2. Is there a way to save the current games on the machine to a USB so I can reinstall them later?
3. I've read i need a show BIOS chip in order to avoid the license key for each game, how can I tell if I have a show BIOS chip installed?
4. The current games installed are FAM14 and just slot games, If I wanted to add poker and roulette do I need to change the BIOS or will those automatically show up in the themes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

1. you do not need a ram clear to add games, but you will need an ekey7 or equivalent.
2. You cannot save the games from the hard drive, you could save an image of the drive with clonezilla or similar.
3. If you don't have any license keys for your existing games, then you have a show bios.
4. No need to change bios to add any further family 14 games.
