Can you set Dodonpachi (Japan) PCB to Free Play?

Post by corbie »

I can adjust the various coin selections, but there is no Free Play on there. Any way to set the pcb to just begin with the push of the start button on the Egret II cabinet? Thanks.

I believe you can't for this and Donpachi. However, it should be trivial to make a patched EEPROM to add this functionality.

Dangun and Guwange seem to be the only games on CAVE 1st hardware with a dedicated free play option.

Thanks guys. I can just leave the coin door unlocked and push the switch inside for credits. No biggie, was just curious. :)

You could use it as a piggy bank.

I have two cans full of quarters right here, if it werent for the distance and my fear of strangers you could make a fair bit of money from me.
