Ah, they are different to the standard mpu4 game card modules. And I guess they will also have a chk chip, so I cannot just buy any video program module and burn adders and ladders eproms. ☹️

😇 not always the villain

I have a couple of the cards with ribbon cables

Mark... PM me your address I owe you a bunch of flowers 😆 🤣 20260322_101804.mp4

I managed to find some images online and the program module looks alot different to a usual mpu4 fruit machine game module, plastic cased. althought it is from a different machine.

Dil 8 if I remember? No I dont think ive tried that!

Turned on the dil switch for front openers? 🤷🏻‍♂️

T2 duplicate relabled T4. Decoupling capacitors labeled DCC (not marked on PCB) Fuse sizes labeled Pin 3+4 connected on regulator. C45 changed to polarized and labeled. Connected 9 + 21 to +5v on rom cartridge. Put pretty pictures of socket pin numbering on. Barcrest MPU1 REV2.bmp

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.
