Golden Tee Betabrite LED Ticker display. PC Connect Software......Help
StephenH:
You might try contacting Beta-Brite and see if the board is the same as one of their electronic display models, or uses compatible ROMs, or can be hooked up to one of their display system keypads somehow.

Hi all,
My board looks the same as the one above. There has to be a way??
If I can't find a solution, maybe I can squeeze in a WXGA LCD in there, and space the sides out with some speakers?? I have a 5.1 system to put in?
Surely there must be some software to program the Incredible technologies Betabrite LCD? They would of had to program the information of the bar owner or kiosk that owned the machine, this was displayed when in attraction mode. So.......there has to be a way.....plus a new LCD is going to break my budget for my Cab.
Come on guys, get the word out, someone worked on these machines and should be able to give us a solution.

I'll check the cable out! I think there is an original cable in the bottom of the Cab, Let you know tomorrow!

The information you saw displayed on the tournament sign at a particular location was put up there by the game board itself. The location name was settable in the game diagnostics. Also, anytime you changed game locations, the game made a call into IT. So Im sure that the LED info was a combination of the game boards settings and info from IT, such as advertising and the top player scores from around the nation.
This isnt much help, but it does let you know that the location didnt set their name on the game with a remote like a typical Betabrite sign.
Its all to do with IT...Im sure it is proprietary but someone could hook up an rs232 port to the data from a working Golden Tee Game and see what kind of info is being sent to the sign using Windows Hyperterminal or some such terminal software to try and decode what was being sent. This might give you a clue as to what the format of data is.
It would be a little easier to decode this info than say trying to crack eproms etc. as you can see what is being displayed on the sign, even though it is probably buffered and might not display the data sent instantly.
