Gaming machine update and mass storage management

摘要

Different mechanisms are provided to enable a gaming machine to download files/images, move/copy the file/images from one folder to another without breaking authentication, and resume interrupted file manipulation operations such as move/cc-py 5 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 10 example, the automatic mounting and/or unmounting of selected games to/from the gaming machine memory during runtime. C:WMpwd/SPEC-877995.docx
