free play for twin cobra?

Post by bwod1e »

hey doods!
i just got my twin cobra arcade pcb board, but i cant figure out how the hell to put it on free play
ive been through all the dip switches and it doesnt seem to have a setting for free play
i have a namco exceleena but havent got the coin mech wired up
i beleive my double dragon 2 board is the same... any one know how to either emulate a coin being put in or put it on free play?

From the DIP chart of Kyukyoku Tiger (Japanese version of Twin Cobra)

It seems that the game cannot be set to free play.

All you need to do to emulate a coin being put in, is to wire a normal push button at the coin pin (16 or T) and ground. When you push the button, the game would treat you as inputing a coin.

But I think having a coin mech wired up would be even better, since it feels good to actually insert coins into the meachine, plus you could earn some bugs when you friends comes by. Hopefully earn back the PCB in the long run. :lol:

Some games on freeplay when left idle just sit there burning the logo into your screen. It's best to add a fake coin button.
