Credits are between 2 to 3 credits for a £1 depending on machine.

I'm feeling a strange sense of satisfaction knowing my Pork is making Casino a little change. I feel a samaritan glow coming on.

Must lend more.

Yo Skids, i have a couple questions...
1) Is there a way to switch the countdown off once credits has been fed? Example: if there's 2 credits or more and the countdown goes down to zero, the game will start both players automatically :idea:
2) The board doesn't save scores once it has been switched off, what's the dip switch settings or do i need to change the battery?
Your knowledge will be much appreciated :mrgreen:

That's actually not a complete impossibility. Do you have anywhere to put it safely for a couple of years?

(As in, not Casino.)

1) I'm not sure about the credit timer, you may be able to switch it off in test mode (using the teeny tiny black button on the PCB) but it might just be standard.

2) SH3 boards don't save high scores when switched off, only settings (like difficulty, number of credits etc) :wink:

Ahhh. There is an option for Pork to save scores, I saw it when the engineer was fiddling around with it. I thought it said it was on. Isn't Mushi an SH3 board? That saves high scores (kind of).

Looking forward to the weekend midi-meet!

I just checked in mame and there's definitely an option to save scores (and one to reset them) at least. There's nothing about the credit timer though.

If I can convince my uncle to let me leave it under the stairs when he's here... so probably not.

Edit: Also up for weekend midi meet but probably Saturday OR Sunday not both.

Sorry, you guys are right, I'm getting confused with SH1. :wink:

I guess you'll just have to press that little black button and go into the menu settings. Should be something in there for ya hopefully!

I won't be able to make it today Chi, but I might be able to join the midi-meet this weekend. Do we have a finalised date and time for that yet?
Also I had great fun on Tuesday, nice to catch up with Spadgy and play some more Pork.

Briefly saw Papa DEL this evening before he had his business to do...
No major plans, just hang out at casino, play some games, food in chinatown and catch up... Probably will be repeated on Saturday and Sunday too... Let's say 6pm onwards...
If you guys have any better ideas, plans or suggestions please share, he's been away for too long :wink:

Yeah! Tuesday was wicked. And I finally 1CC'd Mushi Maniac! Thanks for backing me up with a conversation about religion guys. I honestly think it helped!

Hopefully I'll be there this weekend. Did you invite my wife CHI?

Fun evening today, JDE and I managed to bump into DEL and CHI in the street. We played Pork and ate pork themed Chinese (I had lard). MX7 we saw your scores but not you?

I'm jealous of you normal people with facial recognition skills. Me, I'd fail to recognize someone sitting on a cab with a pink bike next by :| Or the reverse, I swear I saw someone who looked exactly like DEL recently, even if the odds of that happening are very low... or what DEL looks like in photos anyway since I've never met him...

Oh and MMP looks gorgeous now!

I was drunk as well, that's some next level face recognising going on there.

Pork is still not really ideal but it's probably better than Casino's standard quality.
