You need the "key chip" to make any changes to the denominations, games, or percent (paytable). Note, you can only select the percent and you get the corresponding paytable. You can't make up your own paytable.
You still need the key chip if you want to just make a few game changes. If you ever want to get a GameKing try and get a Key Chip. It should be stored in the black conductive foam material to prevent static from damaging it.
Also put the main computer chip in the foam and make sure you are grounded to the machine. Swapping chips is done with the machine off.
While you are changing things, you need to have it planned out. If you wait too long between selections, you will loose all your changes and it will return back to what it was. You will need to start over.
I chose to have the 5c and 25c denominations with the same 12 fullpay games. For example, other denominations such as 50c and $1 have NSUD instead of FPDW.
My machine is not setup for progressives. I believe it may need to be linked to other machines with a cable and a central computer. After every 100 hands, there is a slight pause in the play. I believe the machine is trying to send data to the central computer.
My machine can not be setup for anything other than single line play. However, you can set it up for 5 coin or 10 coin play. You can also add the "double-up" feature.
My other machine is an IGT 5 game machine 25c with KBJW, DDB, DB, DD, and NB. I can not change much on it, just the hopper limit.
Both machines are slant tops and have bill acceptors and can drop quarters.
Don't hesitate to ask more questions...

I have seen that file of which you speak many times. I think I have it saved on my hard drive somewhere too. Thanks for putting it up, it has been helpful to me.
So bare with me, let me ask you a newbie question. Be patient with me. Do you need that 40-pin thing to change the 12-game line up, or is that what you need to change part of the entire lineup?
Also, here's another question I have wondered about. Setting up progressives. Do all machines come "progressive-ready"? Is it easy to put a progressive up? Can you easily put them anywhere? Like a 3-way or 5-way progressive if you want? Or is that something that has to be done with a whole new chip?
I've just got to get me my own machine someday.
