tried adding notey to club gold digger it works but only gives change also shows trace alarm error 92 still on start up

[Wizard]

I don't know if you know this already but checking diag -> datapak gives you useful info about service/door switch status on startup. Also tells you if the ROMs are protocol or not, % etc

Early machines did only give change, so adding the notey is not really that useful tbh

 

As for trace alarm, I have no idea what that is or means, player did promise to explain once but never has lol

More useful info thanks.

 

Just going through Vecs advice for setting up MPU5 meters, glad to say, it's been straightforward and I haven't had any trouble getting them working.

 

Anyone doing this, be aware, unless I'm doing it wrong, machines probably unsurprisingly seem to work in different ways.

 

Some immediately after changing the meters in the config, start tallying up all in and out coins, some only start tallying after a save and reload and some just remain at 0 in 0 out and appear not to have recorded any coins pre the meters being set up correctly. Those ones, still work, but not until you start inserting coins.

I thought dads spiker biker was broke when i set the meters yesterday and it was clocking up over 500 in plays on the meters

[Wizard]

Yes even though the meters weren't clocking up, it still stored the info in the RAM, so now the meters are working it's trying to catch up

i cleared the ram on them ones saves it counting up again lol

Something a bit different

 

Fruits N Suits DX by Guitar and Golden Oldie DX- the coin mech are binary, so, go design, edit mode, right click on coin mech, properties and change the coin/note from bit0 1 to £1 binary in the drop down list. Click apply,  close box and obviously save changes, when exiting the layout

[wearecity]

Caribbean Cash - I had no hoppers set up on this one, hopper 1 should be unchecked, hopper 2 checked. Also checkbox 32 needs adding to get rid of refill message on start up. I'll post this only once, here's how to add it.... open layout, go to design. edit mode, right click on the layout, go to buttons, select checkbox, right click on the little box that appears, choose properties, enter number 32 where it says 0 (it says 0 twice on that screen), then put a tick in the box on the right side that has 32 now besides it and click apply.

 

Come out of edit mode, reload the layout, it says save changes, say yes and you're done.

 

Cash N Burn - £5, 10p, I had 2 versions of this, one was correct, the other had no hoppers set, hopper 1 unchecked, hopper 2 checked, if you have the dodgy version lol.

 

Cashanova - £5, 30p!!!, this has sec meters, sec should be set to yes and in meter set to sec 2-10 and out sec 3-10

 

EasyStreak - No meters were set, this has sec meters, in meter set to sec 2-1 and out meter sec 3-1

 

Goldenballs - Just needs checkbox 32 adding, to clear refill message.

 

Golden WInner - This was in door open mode and had meter errors. Switches that work service 6 cash 8. Other settings hopper 1 check, hopper 2 unchecked, meters that work, in meter 1-1 and meter 2-1 and out meter 3-1, secs should be set to no.

golden winner still open door  with those settings above

[wearecity]

Perhaps we are talking different layouts.

 

Try mine.

Yes, but then these strange things, seem to happen with some machines. For instances, I've changed coin mech configs and then they haven't saved before. I have some S4's where errors are the same, but same settings don't work and I've run out of ideas with some. A bit like the £15 Tetris machine.

 

Once, I've been through all of the S4 machines, if no one else has posted solution to them, I'll post a list of what I can't get working and see if anyone else can get them going.

Golden balls added check box still refill.
could you post your copy.
Thanks.

[Wizard]

Make sure the machine is actually refilled also

That's because there is a hidden button for coin! Creator just being lazy, I mean there is a tool to remove offscreen components, only takes a second!

I'm seem to remember there was problems with the unofficial emulators saving some changes such as this, on several layouts.

I noticed that some of the coin mechs only seem to save changes once the meters, hoppers and switches are set correctly.

I'm guessing the unofficial emus had work arounds, because they didn't have the ability to check everything was totally correct and certain options weren't available. But v5 now means machines need to be set up correctly or they will error or not function 100% correctly.
