There are some notes that are important as mileage will vary...

1) Key 17 was replaced with Key 31 and some of the newer stuff require it

2) After a clearing different steps are done for different OS versions and some don't require a Key chip to be used at all

a) OS less then SG00100 the steps outlined will work fine but you might not need to Key the machine after a clear to set the machine type (depends)
b) OS greater then SG00300 has a few extra steps

Example - SG00363 requires you to set the IPC / WAMM (set this to WAMM) but can't be done until after you Key the machine

3) Games with Multi-denom hardware have an even more complex setup (not in order)
a) you must set a % for each denom
b) you must set or assign a denom / button for each Square (1 - 4)

That is all that is on top of my head for now as I am sure there is a bunch of stuff I am forgetting
