Hi,

 

PM me - I have this machine and went through the same process. I can explain exactly what you need to do.

Just closing this thread out.

 

To cut a long story short, I finally obtained a replacement working MPU5 mk3 Program card and transferred the EC83 PIC chip over to it, booted with the CF card and successfully loaded up the Pure Madness BIN 1.1C.

 

Seems I had had a succession of broken Program Cards during testing which had led me to believe that the PIC chip was defective.

 

The machine is now fully working.

 

Cheers

Guys

 

It looks like my "RTC EC83" PIC chip is defective. I have found this link https://e-service.co...pre-programmed/

 

They claim to be able to create one. 

 

I do not understand the exact function of the PIC chip - could anyone explain the function/info?

 

Does anyone have any opinion on the likely validity of that claim? Would there not be propriety info that they would need from Empire Games?

 

Cheers
