Does anyone have an Electrocoin BAR-X machine where they can test / give feedback about my prototype reproduction board. The board "Universal 8205" is found in the very early BAR-X machines. You would just need to transplant the eprom's from your board. I'm happy to post to you and provide a return label.

I changed the nudge stopper to a maximum of 10 and i thought the CASH PRIZE needed some love so instead of getting a lame dead useless few pence for a feature that takes longer to get i changed it to Give the player more fun.... wow i really like my machine now 3 X REPEATS on the cash prize it holds sometimes on the SKILL as well. trust me it dont always give this much but it makes the CASH PRIZE now worth going for WhatsApp Video 2026-11-10 at 14.57.15.mp4

That would take me a couple of months to sort out

Good it's got better. I'll give it a go yeah but who knows if I'll land better results. I'll pm my address.

Heating the eprom did help recover some more data, but it's not a totally clean read. Claude has looked at the data and said it's the best set of reads yet with the die heat soaked for around 10-15 minutes at 60-70 degrees. I can send you the chip if you want to have a go at reading it? At this point, I've done as much as I can do with it. The rom doesn't pass checksum and so won't run but it's better than the first dump I did. rolatop_best_read_galep_heated.bin

Hopefully it will be up and running in a couple of days,, the cab isn’t the best but let’s see what I can do ,,

Leave it with me Pete I’m away from pc at the moment

At least you know now @booze.net What are you reading the roms with? I have a dataman and it has a way of error checking with high and low voltage I think. I had some knackered rare roms a few years ago (for bonus talker i think) and they didn't read very well. I found i got way fewer errors after heating the roms with a hair dryer and re reading. Maybe worth a try if you have a decent programmer thought if you did you'd probably have known the dump was bad. I don't mind having a go if you want to send them my way to try?

this has tonight interested me to look at what i did years ago, it was definitely a ball ache to change the codes manually which resulted in burning a useless chip that wouldn't work in a machine and of course just loosing the cost of the chips which are becoming more difficult to find. so I have started with AI tonight to do a program which askes for the code needed and insets in into the right place in my original code. this would then make it much easier to produce correct chips as there is no where to get them made these days. so if needed i may be able to make them in the future
