YPLS2 functions
YPLS2 is the low-level operating system of the console. While YPLS2 is
running, you can update the main operating software in the console.
If you have any information in the console, you should save it to disk
before running YPLS. You will need to enter a code to discourage
anyone who gets here by accident, the code is 68340.The options are:
A. Start the system - restarts the DLC-C003 operating system and
returns the console to normal.
B. Burn a new program - Loads new console operating software. This
procedure is described in detail in the next section.
C. Verify - checks if the operating system on the disk matches the one
loaded on the DLC-C003.
D. Save program - saves the existing operating system to disk
E. YPLS extender - lets you load a new YPLS operating system
(RAM.PRL). You must ensure the console is not turned off while
you are doing this, because you will need new flash memory
chips from DORTRON’s if this happens.
F. Renew license
1. Wipeall and start system - Executes a Wipeall (clears everything)
then runs the DLC-C003 operating system
2. Disk to memory burn program

Upgrading the DLC-C003’s internal software
From time to time, DORTRON’s make updated software available on the
website. The new software may add new features and fix any problems
found with the console. The DORTRON’s website has detailed
instructions on how to get the software from the website onto a disk for
the console.
You can load new software from the floppy disk drive using the
following procedure.
1> Turn the key to “System”.
2> Press A [Service], then again A [Run YPLS2].
3> Enter the password which is 68340 and press Enter. (This is the
number of the main processor, if you forget it you can remind
yourself by opening the console and looking at the top of the main
processor chip)
4> Insert the software disk into the disk drive
5> Press B [Burn a new program], then press Enter.
6> Wait until “100% completed” appears, then press Exit. If the
message “Failed” appears or the system halts for a long time
before 100% is reached, the disk is probably faulty. Download the
software again onto another disk and try again.
7> Press 1 [Wipeall and start system] followed by Enter to restart the
main program. Do not use A [Start system] as the new software
may not be compatible with the data stored internally in the
