In Topic: Aristocrat MKV (aka Mark 5) added to MAME

28 April 2012 - 05:02 AM

Hi Heihachi_73,

Yep, those are the ones I have. In the manuals for the US machines (I also have a US MKVI manual but no schematic), it does mention that the main board may have the DES chip although, it is not used by any US games.

I have a number of dumps for MKV and MKVI games that are not listed against the mame .c files that are dumps that I had personally made.

I'll have to see if I can mod the aristmk5.c files to add them but it will be no good without the 2Khz timer not working at least.

I'm going to have agood look at Arculator now.

Thanks again for the info. If you need any help, let me know. My current studies are in Software Development.

Cheers,
Col.

P.S. I did manage to get a MKVI main board working on a MKV machine provided that the MKVI game did not need a touch screen. All that was needed was a jumper change in the backplane.

Later.

Hello all.

My name is Col (aka bald_noggin). I have been looking recently over the MAME driver for the MKV machines and reading the post within these forums.

I think I may be able to help out a little.

Other than having a small collection of MKV and MKVI games, I also have technical documents including schematics for the MKV which may reveal some more interesting features of the Main Board such as the DES chip.

Please contact me if you are interested.

Cheers,
bald_noggin.
