摘要： Gaming machines and systems having MRAM and MROM are disclosed. MROMs for storing boot programs and other Read Only code are formed by cutting write connections or not providing PCB socket leads to MRAM write pins, or by using memory hubs to prevent writing to MRAMs. A tale-tale board or other logging device monitoring activities at various components while primary machine power is down records to MRAM, which can be dual ported to the logging device and MGC. Various components can each have dedicated logging devices and MRAMs. One MRAM associated with the brain box replaces both DRAM and NVRAM of regular machine architectures, and is used for dual purposes of regular operational use and as safe storage to facilitate a state recovery. Prioritization of data during the storage process is rendered unnecessary. Another MRAM associated with the back plane board stores data associated with the exterior housing or terminal.
摘要翻译：公开了具有MRAM和MROM的游戏机和系统。用于存储引导程序和其他只读代码的MROM通过切割写入连接或不向MRAM写入引脚提供PCB插座引线，或通过使用存储器集线器来阻止写入MRAM来形成。在主机停机时，各种组件的故事板或其他记录设备监控活动记录到MRAM，可以双向移植到记录设备和MGC。各种组件可以各自具有专用的测井设备和MRAM。与脑盒相关的一个MRAM取代了常规机器结构的DRAM和NVRAM，并且用于常规操作使用的双重目的，并且用于安全存储以促进状态恢复。在存储过程中数据的优先级不再需要。与背板相关联的另一个MRAM存储与外部壳体或终端相关联的数据。

摘要： Different mechanisms are provided to enable a gaming machine to download files/images, move/copy the files/images from one folder to another without breaking authentication, and resume interrupted file manipulation operations such as move/copy operations and/or download operations which have been interrupted by a power hit. In this way, the technique of the present invention is able to provide a self-diagnostic system for ensuring authenticated, atomic transactions, and for automatically handling detected error conditions. Additionally the technique of the present invention is able to provide a mechanism for seamlessly updating gaming machine components at runtime. This may include, for example, the automatic mounting and/or unmounting of selected games to/from the gaming machine memory during runtime.
摘要翻译：提供了不同的机制来使游戏机能够下载文件/图像，将文件/图像从一个文件夹移动/复制到另一个文件夹而不中断认证，并恢复中断的文件操作操作，例如移动/复制操作和/或下载操作被电击打断了。以这种方式，本发明的技术能够提供用于确保认证的原子事务以及用于自动处理检测到的错误状况的自诊断系统。此外，本发明的技术能够提供一种用于在运行时无缝更新游戏机组件的机制。这可以包括例如在运行时间期间自动安装和/或卸载所选游戏到游戏机存储器的游戏机。

摘要： Some implementations of the invention provide improved methods and devices for configuring gaming machines. According to some implementations of the invention, an operator's proposed changes to configuration item values will be assessed according to one or more rule sets. If a proposed new configuration value violates one or more such rules, according to some implementations the proposed new configuration value (or other configuration value(s)) may be automatically changed in order to obtain compliance with the rule(s). The rules may or may not be implemented by a gaming machine. Some implementations of the invention provide remote hosting of configuration menu pages with or without such auto-configuration features.

摘要： Methods and systems for detecting counterfeit cashless instruments are disclosed. A pattern of attempted redemptions or other transactional recordings of gaming machine printed tickets, vouchers or other cashless instruments having identification numbers with valid predictable fields but invalid unpredictable fields can indicate a likely counterfeiting attempt or operation. Occurrences can include a thief or other unscrupulous party discovering which gaming machine printed ticket fields lend themselves to prediction and which do not, and then attempting to guess at some of the randomly generated numbers in hopes of coming up with a valid number or number set. In addition, stored hash numbers can be compared to a hash number generated according to a one-way hash function. A pattern of invalid hash numbers can also indicate a likely counterfeit attempt.
