I think you'll be very lucky to find another set, I've had a good look on the net and haven't seen anything. Still you never say never! 🤞

Hello. Did someone copy the files of the prom number 2 coming from another board than mine so we would compare them ? Thanks 👍

Here you go.. Jolly Imperial V(1).zip

Hello Bob. You are right, the machine had only 2 ROMs but I thought that adding two ROMs more (3 and 4), the machine would work like a real coin machine and not by itself ? Maybe I'm just dreaming 😂 You managed to read the files on flipjuke, that's good. Would you please publish them on this site because when I tried to do it some time ago, you wrote me that you can't access any of the attachements. I try again to join the files and I hope that somebody can be able to run them. Thanks a lot. Jolly Imperial V(1)(3).zip

Are you sure it actually had 4 ROMs? I managed to find your post on flipjuke.fr which had the ROM's posted and looking at ROM2 it seems to stop at 0x18E7? There's no data after this and it's all 0's. Not sure if that is correct as I'd normally expect to see a few characters at the end of the file. I don't have an ACE board in for repair at present so I can't try them. Not sure if somebody might be able to run them in the emulator if you post them here. Worth a go.

Often there are no manuals or diagrams. The method I use myself is tracing the wires, where do they go? is there current on the wires compare with another string? Follow the wire back to the motherboard, to the right pin and see if you can trace to which Transistor. Transistors go bad over time. are there burnd risistors? also check if your lights are intact. and if you have continuity in the wires (no break) also check the diodes, if they are bad the string may not work either.

Hello everyone. Here is the new machine I bought. The machine is in good condition but broken-down. It was working ten years ago but not anymore. The CPU ( INTERPLAY MPU unit ISS-b) seems in good condition because the battery is soldered onto another board which is damaged. I tested the power supply and it's OK and for now, ther is only the neon and a few bulbs that lignt up. I'm looking for documentation about this machine and about the electronic boards. Thanks a lot in advance for your help 👍

Hello. I received the coin mech, a Cashflow 126 and it works well. Now, I need to find the eprom files of the CPU, number 3 and 4 so I can copy them. If someone could forward them to me, I would be very grateful 👍 Thanks in advance. I bought another english broken-down machine, so I will post a new topic about it. It's an SRF Interplay electronics limited machine called "REGENT" Here is a picture.

If this turns out to be the Chr chip, very unlikely but possible, I can probably do a patched rom (that doesn't need Chr chip).

Hello guys I have several Pluto 6 boards with the same issue. The program doesn’t start, the reset LED turns off, so the bootloader is probably running, but nothing else happens. The PCB traces are fine, and I suspect the RAM. When I desolder the RAM chip, the reset LED still turns off. Of course everything other is Fine (program card, supply). It runs with working board Has anyone already dealt with this issue? Many thanks

This could be possible. I can increase the resistance of the lamps. I have also replaced the lamps Good idea 😁

Sounds like the hole sizes in the sensors are the issue .I've heard about new light sensors being too bright in mpu3s before so lowering the light emission could be right .

Hello everyone. Took a bit longer, due to delivery problems and personal things. Here is an update of the photo sensors. Unfortunately the new sensors do not have the desired effect. They are super sensitive, which means that with 1 spin the cabinet goes crazy, and you immediately lose your points. I think the sensors are too big and therefore capture too much light. I want to test, by cover the plastic housing with black cardboard. with small holes. see if that works. also I still have problems with the LSI. where? I do not know with every spin I get win points. (Loos//Win) so far the update

Donations link all working now. Thanks @pete_w

Lol, i would have blamed predictive text on that one. First coat of paint on the floor this morning so should have it out there in a week or so to spend some time on it. It has the same or similar fault as mentioned in one of Bobs earlier posts (triacs firing of solenoids and lamps randomly after turn on). So sort the psu out first and go from there.

Unfortunately the donate button has been broken for a while. I'll try to contact the admin again to see if he can get it sorted.

Correct. I made an error whilst helping a new member.

Deaf, not death.

I agree.. but it’s falling on death ears I’m afraid

Another point i could mention apart from the change theme thing which thank you has been sorted, How hard is it to try and donate to the site, it has just taken me half an hour to find a donate button.

Here is a photo, sorry it is not the best but i have not long moved house and currently building a new garage / workshop so everything that should be in there is crammed into the house ( even a petrol suffolk punch lawnmower under the stairs) 🤣

Ah OK, that won't work. You need to try and fully working ROM cart, complete with the correct CHR chip, in the machine and see if it boots up. I can send you one if you want to give it a try and see what happens?

Certainly is. Annoying, as lot of people just give up and leave. Very little new blood

Make sure you also put Roms and Chr in the correct way around

You need to change full set of Roms and Chr into a spare card - not just the Roms. Maybe you’re explaining it bad/im misunderstanding. i have had a Chr go bad, but that’s once in hundreds of mpu4 machines. not seen game cards of this type (cartridge) ever get affected by battery damage. Of course the chip can also die, but be very unlucky. If you have a spare card, put the Roms AND the matching Chr into it?..
