BB3 Reel'Em In Catch the Big One 2 Progressive Settings

[Captain Slots]

Anyone have a the Reel'Em In Catch the Big One 2 machine? Looking for the factory setting that came with the machine for the LAP progressive setting for .01
This is the BB3 with the monitor on top and 3 reels below. I believe someone said it is a MDL (monitor with reels)
Had to change out the CPU and could not see the settings prior to it going out. Have the new CPU in all is good with other settings just having a problem with the final setting. "Progressive Protocol Not Set"
There are at least 50+ options under the .01 / percentage for pay out and I need to match whatever was previously set for this to finish booting up.
Any help would be appreciated. Trying not to have to go though all the .01 setting to find it.

Thanks

Well, you already posted about this in another listing........>>>>

If you changed the CPU, the MAC address is different than the original, so you have to fix the old cpu or flash the LAP to configure it for the MAC address of the new CPU.

Yes I did.....However I spoke to a tech in Nevada that repairs slots and he mentioned even with a different CPU installed I just needed to match the correct progressive with what was originally set and it would work....
I wasn't real sure about that....

Well then, you can try all the settings, but without communication it will fail.

Good luck with your project

Thanks I appreciate it...
New to this machine and not real familiar with the fixes...
You had mentioned ....flash the LAP to configure it for the MAC address of the new CPU in one of your responses.....but I am not sure how to do this. Again, new to this...

The Mac Address for ETHO0 can be viewed on the diagnostic menu.  6 different 2 digit hex numbers separated by colons.  Starting numbers usually 00:

Is your controller is a mini PC with a USB drive attached to it?  or is it something else?  If a USB drive, that contains everything the game is set up for as well as the Mac Address. 

[Captain Slots]

You are correct the controller is a Mini PC...I pulled it out it is a WYSE. The USB is plugged into the back. It had a tag on it with model # and MAC address on it...
So at this point I do have the MAC address. As mentioned I'm new to this ......how do I use this info?
Again, thanks for your help with this.

The MAC address on that USB is useless since it's for the old cpu.  No other info on the label like % and denom?

The USB has to be re programmed for the current MAC address.  You can't do it.  You have to find someone with the WMS software to do it for you. 

BTW, the USB is set of whatever % and denom you had before.  The person who would re program the USB for you could see what it is presently set for and advised you as to what settings to use.

[Captain Slots]

Yeah ....unfortunately no denom or % info on it......Just model # , serial # and MAC address.
Thanks for the help....I may see if I can find someone to repair the old CPU.....any ideas there?

[idesign]

What's wrong with it?  Have you tried swapping parts out of the replacement to isolate the problem?

[Captain Slots]

The only thing I tried at this point is swapping a new video card from the CPU I know worked. The original problem on the old cpu was nothing would boot up at all the reel light would briefly come on and go off and the the 3 reels just slowly rotate. I knew something was going out in the past because if I turned it on and it had issues I would turn it off restart and it would be fine. Until finally it just quit booting up altogether.......
Anything else parts wise that I should try swapping out?
