`

`source to output sounds from the speaker (not shown) which is one of the output
`devices 21. The sound board 26 can conduct performanceso that the operation of the
`game soft program in the information process device 1 of the embodiment can be
`properly executed.
`Next, with reference to a flowchart shown in Fig. 2, it will be described an
`operation executed when the information process device
`1 according to the
`embodimentis started to operate. Fig. 2isa flowchart of a start program executed
`when the information process device 1 is started to operate.
`In the information process device 1 of the embodiment, when the device 1 is
`started to operate, the start program stored in the start program storing area 13c of
`the ROM 13 is executed by the CPU 12.
`That is to say, as shownin Fig. 2, when the start program is executed,at first
`in S11, a boot program is executed.
`Here, the boot program is a program stored in the boot program storing area
`18a of the ROM 13, and based on the boot program, initialization of various devices
`including the extended BIOS (Basic Input Output System) in the hard disk 24 and
`the OS (Operating System) in the hard disk 24 is executed.
`At that time, since the OS (Operating System) in the hard disk 24 is loaded in
`the RAM 14 andstarted to operate, the ROM 13 may be called as a boot ROM atthis
`
`point of view.
`Next, when procedure of the start program shifts to $12, the fault inspection
`program is executed.
`Here, the fault inspection program is a program stored in the fault inspection
`program storing area 13b and through which a fault inspection in the hard disk 24is
`executed. Concretely, according to the fault inspection program,it is inspected
`whether or not a damage occurs in the hard disk 24 or whether or not change or
`falsification of the program stored in the hard disk 24 is conducted.
`Next, when procedure of the start program shifts to $13, it is determined
`whether or not a fault occurs in the hard disk 24. This determination is conducted
`based on an execution result of the fault inspection program obtained in $12.
`At that time, if it is determined that the fault does not occur in the hard disk
`24 (S13: NO), procedure shifts to $14, thereafter the application program stored in

`
`

`

`the hard disk 24 is loaded in the RAM 14 and execution of the application program is
`started. On the other hand,ifit is determined that the fault occurs in the hard disk
`24 ($13: YES), procedure shifts to 515 and error display is conducted on the liquid
`crystal display (see the reference number 21 in Fig. 3) which is one of the output
`
`devices 21.
`in the information process device 1 according to the
`As mentioned,
`embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the fault inspection program is stored in the fault
`inspection program storing area 13b of the ROM 13 on the mother board 11
`independently from the hard disk 24, thereby evenif a fault occurs in the hard disk
`24 which is inspected by the fault inspection program,it can be guaranteed that the
`fault inspection program properly operates.
`And as shownin Fig.3, the information process device 1 of the embodimentis
`used as the gaming machine for business use, and as shown in Fig. 2, the fault
`inspection program stored in the ROM 13is executed at the time that the information
`process device 1 is started to operate and the fault inspection in the hard disk 24 is
`executed before games are started. Therefore, measures to avoid troubles during
`gaming can be taken beforehand, without giving displeasureto a player of the gaming
`machine for business use.
`Here, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment mentioned in
`the above and various modifications can be conducted within the scope of the present
`invention.
`
`For example, as shownin Fig. 3, although the information process device 1 of
`the embodiment is used as the gaming machine for business use, the information
`process device 1 may be adopted for a personal computer on sale.
`In this case, the
`keyboard, the mouseor the joystick maybe utilized as the input device, instead of the
`control panel 22.
`And in the information process device 1 of the embodiment, although the
`hard disk 24 is used as the second memory device, a flash memory in which contents
`can be changed and stored may be used.
`In this case, the fault inspection program
`inspects whetheror not a fault occurs in the flash memory.
`The present invention can be adopted for the fault
`information process device.
