p1 or p2

[stew]

anyone know how to spot the difference between p1/p2 versions on machines. Are there any indications on the outside?

[stew]

come on people dont be shy, how can i try new mtr unless i know what re-chip its on!?!

[Slotterman]

Err, what machine?

On much older machines It was sometimes in the Display where it shows the Cash amount ect. certain programs Displayed different text.

But nowadays it gets harder to spot unless your a quick learner.

Some of the more kinder punters do mark some machines as with the classic " ARCADIA " X marks the spot scenario where people would put an X on the machine to let you know it was a Re - Chip.

As for nowadays it's more Just Luck if you've got An original program .

thanks TRITON, let u know if it works

[stew]

TRITON....it works a treat! but as none of the so called experts on this site seem to want to help, i'll be in touch

What are you talking about?
If you ask something specific you might get an answer.

[stew]

i woz asking in general! is there any indication of a re-chip on the face of the machine....

[Slotterman]

I don't know of any machines that put chip versions on the actual glass,but there are often subtle changes in the attract mode/sound samples/win values/feature 'enhancements' &c.It depends entirely on the manufacturer and the machine.
Keep your eyes open,you never know what you might spot.
There is/was an easy way to tell vers, but someone blabbed on the net and now the manus in question have made it void in most cases.Loose lips and al that.
BTW, Triton,I just noticed that you(or someone using your name?) posting for tips on JPM's own site.A manufacturers site,that is.
Do you think that's wise?

Maybe not! but it's hardly a tip . If i learn something it's either because I've worked it out for myself or someone's been kind enough to drop me a PM but apart from that I keep the really good methods i know To PM's with people who already know this sort of stuff.

But i know what your saying, if certain info gets about machines get Chipped quicker than ever.

But i would never dream of posting an emptier of any use but the odd bit of general help i think is perfectly fine.
