Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make judgement as to whether a processing device for a game stores a normal game program, while mounting the device on a substrate. SOLUTION: For inspecting the validity of a game processing device 3, the pin of the game processing device 3 is clamped with the IC clip of a confirmation device 11. The confirmation device 1 is, then, actuated for entering normal self-identification and recognition information. Subsequently, actuation information is transmitted to the game processing device 3, thereby causing the game processing device 3 to start a validity conformation process. Thereafter, the recognition information is transmitted. Furthermore, the self-identification and recognition information is received from the game processing device 3 and evaluated, thereby making judgement as to whether the game processing device 3 is normal. If affirmative, an LED 14 lights. In addition, when the received self-identification and recognition information is abnormal, a buzzer 14 sounds.
