Version 21 Game ROM by Quench
Programmed into U1 on Weebly MPU
CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL 1978 MATA HARI CODE:
Freeplay: enabled when maximum credits DIP switch settings are set to absolute maximum which is now '99' credits: See DIP switch settings below.
Add Millions scoring support - the type is controlled by DIP switch 19 on the MPU board:
6 Digit displays will show the score virtually by dancing the score digits right and left (only when millions scores are achieved).
7 Digit displays are supported with the addition of a wire from the MPU board that's daisy chained to each 7 Digit player display.
Drop Target switches now score once only when fallen and are remembered as having dropped. Previously, fallen Drop Targets could potentially score again and/or the banks failed to reset due to playfield vibrations from poorly adjusted switches.
When two Drop Targets are knocked down simultaneously, score is now awarded for both Drop Targets - factory only scored for one Drop Target.
The last knocked down Drop Target now also scores 500 points like all other Drop Targets.
Audit #12 is new and records the Highest game Credits to Date. Shown when High Game to Date is displayed. Only available in Freeplay Credit Reset mode.
Audits #13 - #16 are new Software Setting functions for controlling new game features.
Quick navigation in self-test / audit mode:
During the self-tests, press and hold the start button and tap the self-test button will now jump directly to switch test mode.
During switch test mode, press and hold the start button and tap the self-test button will now jump directly to audit #13 where the software settings are.
During Audits #01 to #12, press and hold the start button and tap the self-test button will clear the value (same as pressing S33 on the MPU board).
During Software Settings #13 to #16, press and hold the start button and tap the self-test button will load settings to configure game to factory default mode.
Made the reaction time between quickly pressing the self-test button a little more responsive.
Sped up the score threshold award setting counter in audit mode. Single stepping is also now fool proof.
In switch test mode, show *every* closed switch one after the other rather than only showing the first closed switch found.
Tilt Through Protection - optionally repeat players ball if the ball in play is tilted but the player hasn't scored yet: enabled via Software Setting 13:1
When a player hasn't scored and the ball is drained, illuminate the Same Player Shoots Again lamp.
Bonus Multiplier can be optionally applied to the amount of bonus per step. So instead of counting down bonus in lots of 1,000 steps repeated by the number of bonus multiplier, the bonus multiplier is applied to the countdown step and bonus is counted down once. Eg. 3X 15,000 bonus will count down once in 15 lots of 3,000 point steps to achieve 45,000 points. Software Setting 13:4 controls this feature.
Bonus Multiplier optionally has higher values of 7X, 8X and 10X (by illuminating multiple bonus multiplier lamps at the same time): enabled via Software Setting 14:1
Saucer potential Bonus Multiplier can optionally be advanced by making the A-B lanes only: enabled via Software Setting 14:2
A-B lanes can optionally advance to bigger score value up to 15,000: enabled via Software Setting 15:1
With A-B lane big score to 15,000 enabled, optionally have multiple specials lit at 9,000 , 12,000 , 14,000 and 15000: enabled via Software Setting 15:2
With A-B lane big score to 15,000 enabled, specials at 15,000 can be one time or open ended: controlled via Software Setting 15:3
With A-B lane big score to 15,000 enabled, scores of 10,000 can be all lots of 1,000 or a single 10,000 plus remaining 1,000 scores: controlled via Software Setting 15:4
When only the left outlane is lit for 50,000 points, optionally alternate with the right outlane on any 500 point score: enabled via Software Setting 14:3
Outlane 50,000 points can optionally first illuminate when making 3X Bonus Multiplier instead of 2X Bonus Multiplier: enabled via Software Setting 14:4
DIP switch 29 now enhances the Extra Ball score awards for better balance in conjunction with DIP switches 30 and 31 - see the DIP switch table below.
Show the code version number at the Ball in Play/Match display on power-up.
After power-up restore previous game scores when the machine was last powered down.
Show High Score to Date at the start of the last ball.
Play an award sound effect when extra ball is achieved: enabled via Software Setting 13:2
Play an alarm tune when the Slam switch is activated.
Only activate player displays when they're in the game - no more "00" shown in player displays not playing.
At the start of a ball, flash the active players display until they score.
If Match feature is disabled, reset Ball in Play to '0' at game over instead of leaving the last ball number shown.
When checking for active switches, check the outhole switch last instead of first. This way we don't miss other switches that need to be serviced beforehand on the current ball.
Process any pending queued points when the ball enters the outhole. Queued points were otherwise ignored and instead being unfairly awarded on the next ball/players ball in play.
Extinguish the last Player Up number lamp on the backglass at game over.
FREEPLAY INFORMATION:
Freeplay is enabled when MPU board DIP switches 17 and 18 are on. Maximum Credits in freeplay is '99'; knocker still activates after maximum 99 credits are achieved.
When Software Setting 13:3 is set to '0', credits are reset to zero at the start of new game (Credit Reset mode).
When Software Setting 13:3 is set to '1', credits are normally subtracted by 1 at the start of new games / addition of new players (Credit Count mode).
When credits are zero, the credit display is blanked out ('00' is never displayed). Players can still be added while credits are zero.
When credits are '01' or higher, the credits value will be displayed.
The credit indicator lamp will always indicate credits are available even when credits are zero (credit display blanked out).
If previous credits were zero on power up, credits will be set to the default value configured in the SoftSetting Audit #16
To add incentive for players to chase highest credits awarded per game, in Reset Credit mode, Highest Credits to Date is recorded and shown in the Credit display whenever the High Game to Date is shown.
