The 3 other combinaisons give 1C_1C

- From the manual, it says that DSW bit 6 determines the cost of a game :
|
||||
* bit 6 = 0 : "25c / game"
|
||||
* bit 6 = 1 : "50c / game"
|
||||
When you look at the game code, it appears to be some of "Bonus Coinage" :
|
||||
* bit 6 = 0 : you get an additional credit each time you insert 1 coin
|
||||
* bit 6 = 1 : you get an additional credit each time you insert 2 coins
|

|

- So, instead of having something like this :
|
||||
PORT_DIPNAME( 0x0e, 0x02, DEF_STR( Coinage ) ) PORT_DIPLOCATION("SW1:!2,!3,!4")
|
||||
PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x02, "25c= 1C/1C 2C/3C 50c= 2C/2C" )
