Chicago Gaming Co., 2018I have seen a few Chicago Gaming Remakes have a “Custom Logo” with Bally instead of Chicago Gaming. I have read the manual on how to upload it on the pin, but I don’t know how to create a .bmp file. Is anyone willing to share that file or have an advice on how to make it?
Thank you greatly in advance!
My AMFr SE has the Bally logo on it. Does that mean the previous owner changed it or did some of them come from the factory with the Bally logo?
Quoted from Monk:My AMFr SE has the Bally logo on it. Does that mean the previous owner changed it or did some of them come from the factory with the Bally logo?
No that’s factory. They can use the Bally logo but not the Williams logo. This is from just reading past posts, something to do with licensing and why nothing says Williams on MBR and MMR. I believe Williams used both companies names on their machines for branding purposes. Not sure why though.
Can someone help me? What sd card should I order? Where does it insert? Sorry, tech challenged, appreciate a little hand holding, lol...pics appreciated!

Page 1-12 in the manual for a start.

I also was confused at first. The manual explains it. The required file for the "Williams" logo is floating around on pinside too.
Think I've got it, but where on the controller board in the backbox, do I insert the SD card? Pic appreciated, tks.

Red arrow points to the slot.

Quoted from Gorgar666:Do you have the newest update installed?
Something wrong with my machine.
I mailed CGC the software on a sd card. They tested on their end, stated it worked. Thus far CGC is ignoring my request for a warrenty claim. I hope they're honorable and just slow to respond, but unfortunately nothing to report yet.
So I finally got the 2 sd cards back from CGC. 1 has a custom logo on it, the other 3.0.0 software update. After several attempts, with me actually pressing on the beagle, the 3.0.0 loaded. What's interesting is none of the beagle fingers appear bent? After this I tried 10 different sd cards with the custom logo for uploading. Zero sd cards with the custom logo worked. Same error everytime, sd card will not mount. ARGH! CGC claimed both the sd cards I sent them worked perfect at their shop. No idea where to go from here since CGC closed my ticket too.
To follow-up on the custom logo upload issue. CGC sent me a replacement control board. Installed the new board and bam, problem solved. Install of software and logo was super easy, 1st time too at that. Hope this thread helps someone else downstream and more importantly, glad I wasn't losing my marbles thinking it was me the whole time.
Quoted from thehobbyman:Thank you so much swinks! I got both files and they are now on the machines. Thank you everyone for your help.

I need to do this!
What file are you trying to use?
Assuming that you have a Windows PC, right-click on the file, choose "properties", then click on the "details" tab.
Then, under "Image", it should say...
Dimensions 320 x 80
Width 320 pixels
Height 80 pixels
Bit Depth 24
If it says anything else, it probably won't work.
Attached here are two different logo files that I have used. Unfortunately, Pinside won't allow posts of BMP files, so these are JPG files.
To convert them to BMP you can use this free website...
Hope this helps.

For some reason I could save your image as a 24 bit. Worked!
Thanks!

You'll still need to convert it to BMP as I described above.
[quoted image]
That worked!
image (resized).jpgRichard-NBA-SF2 said that the Bally logo I provided was a bit too big (needing more black border).
So here is a (hopefully) better version. Again, it will need to be converted to BMP as I described above.

I adjusted the images a bit in paint -I think they turned out OK...
They look great on the pins (the Bally logo is a bit bigger than the stock logo that comes installed in the AFMr) - I plan to use this Bally image on my CCr as well.
Thanks for the help mbeardsley !!
userlogo-jpeg-B (resized).jpguserlogo-jpeg-W (resized).jpgAnyone know why when i am loading any of the above images onto my MMrSE the williams will wrap in the window so the S if back infront of the w

post the size of the picture, file type etc
Quoted from Swoods5688:Took the images form the post 2 above mine made sure it was the 320 x 80 as stated in manual
Hmm, you saved it as a 24 bit BMP?
Not sure why it would do that.

On your PC , if you right click on the Williams image and select properties it should say 24 bit, BMP under the details tab - Does it?
D84BCD0E-C1FB-4A85-B999-C907ACFCE448 (resized).jpegYes it does my specs match what you show. I know there are some button on the display would this be some kind of a screen shift issue?

Hmm, what button? Your stock logo displays good tho correct?
Yes it is that is what is so strange, on the top of the silver metal box on the back of the display there are like 4 or 5 black buttons. I remember when i got my AFM i think i had to mess with those to adjust something but i don’t remember what exactly its been awhile ago now
