Before I start trying to work out what the mod wires are doing on the back of the original M1A... does anyone have a known program and audio Rom dump from this apollo cab version of Italian job? Or perhaps know if the Roms get modified for Mfme? I usually should have this sorted with in no time but im having a ball ache so if anyone can shed any light that would be great 👍 Ta

The likely reason- it might be is because there are alot of versions of this game for different cabinets with the reels spinning different directions, different payouts and potentially updated audio. I have to consider is it could be a Rom set mishmash/checksum error. Also the Rom supplied could have been modified to run on the emulator...im not sure on that? Argh argh

I cant for the life of me get it running the Italian job roms. It pops out of reset every time but then returns back... It wont bench run original Roms-theres a chance that these could be corrupt because of the damage on the original M1A. It won't run a game rom someone kindly sent to me with x2 sets of sound roms. Ive also tried burning new sound roms which dont seem to verfy with the original sound roms by a long shot. Argh

I have the board completed and it bench runs- The M1 test rom Maygay club monopoly Global king of the swingers club It bench runs all these in multiple ESP gamecards (original game card too) all with the small Ram protection piggy back board attached and the board seems nice and stable.

I had an M1B board that looked slightly less buggered so went for a repair on it instead. Turns out it was worse than it looked and it ended up being a mega repair

Hi people! I thought id post this here... im having a right old ball ache with this one- First-I picked up this Italian job front opener in the apollo cab. The original M1A was totally buggered. Fair few mod wires on the back of it which isn't to strange.

hi sorry the guy im helping has got it wrong it must be 92 not 91 as wants it changing from 10 to 15 jackpot

Is that the correct number on the FPGA?

Welcome to the forum, there's many good people on here.

Hi looking to purchase one of these for my party time if anyone could help be much appreciated but must say 2 0n the end not 1 its for a £15 version

The wire link, I've no idea. I just replace it with a single strand of thin multicore. F1=3.15A and F2=5A.

If had issues getting onto it recently as well

Works fine on Windows 🤔

Hi has anything changed with Dif? I can't seem to log in there anymore. I can't even see the login in button. (android) Thanks

Thanks Bob, it always helps to have that extra set of eyes (i think we used to call it proof reading). I have corrected it on the master and will wait to re-upload as i am sure there will be more.👍 Just noticed for some reason i had not connected pins 3 and 4 on the regulator, have done that now. Also the fuses, FL3 is anyones guess although mine looks about 3 amp ish and F1 and F2 in mine i have no idea if they are original.

Iv looked in my archives and I don’t have it but this Facebook group might be able to help, someone posted a video of his pub landlord machine here https://www.facebook.com/groups/167535251815758/

The only minor detail I've found so far is you have 2x T2's. The top one should be T4 if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks Nick. I've just watched a vid and the 1st reel, most times, only spins a fraction of a revolution. It does spin longer during some sort of game feature but on my test rig I've got no way of knowing when that might be happening? I really need a reel test feature in the self tests, which there isn't.

Anyone want a 2012 Al Murray's pub landlord fruit machine for spares or repairs; no cost just remove it for me Please Ps it's stuck at error 91

Jim im sure barcrest made a lot more than two of them lol ! Couldn't believe it when I saw it and had to pause and rewind for this screen shot .just ironic that id been following your post and this turns up on an episode totally unexpected.

Well spotted, so there were at least two of them unless it is the same one, i cant believe the times i have watched the professionals and never noticed that. Not seen anything fot MPU2 although it is basically an MPU1 with extras if you look at the two side by side you can see the MPU1 circuitry in the MPU2. Infact MPU2 looks like a limousine version of MPU1. If i had an MPU2 i could probably extend the existing diagram to include the extras, although the MPU1 ended up the size of A2 so MPU2 would probably end up on a roll of wall paper 🤣

Just watching an episode of the professionals called "the gun" from 1980 .low and behold there's a nippy nudger in a cafe scene .nice juke bix next to it too .

Top Work that. On sort of the same issue are there any drawings about for MPU2?

Theres a game called exchanger by maygay which uses pcl i think bob .steve lancett currently owns one. It seems to have a decent reel spin time .

That's a nice job youve done there
