SWEP1 not saving all of the menu changes
Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:14 pm
So some things save:
I changed to pay to play to use my tokens, so it saves that
grand champion high score
one coin counting as two (because 50 cents is the minimum setting)
time as well as month and day of the date
what doesn't save:
all other high scores
combo champ
extra ball values
match %
the year of the date
I select reset from the menu but it seems to hang, making me turn it
off. I think this might be where it saves instead of just back
stepping back to the game. Its really annoying that this is happening
I alreayd checked all the cables, replaced the battery, etc. Any
other ideas?
Here's the exact steps I took:
power on the game from the cabinet switch
choose the game (SWEp1) with both action buttons (it will ask this even if I select in the nucore options to play SW)
version 2.0 Nucore screen appears
game boots to attract mode, no errors
open coin door
enter test button pressed
date shows Sept 26 2043 with the correct time
select Adjustments
select system adjustments
special award is still set to points (I changed this before and it stayed)
go back
select feature adjustments
change ramp combo max from 20 to 100 (this resets each time back to 20)
go back
select game pricing
free play = no is still set (changed this before and it stayed)
edit pricing card text
press start to erase current default text
enter new text (line 1 is Insert Token and line 2 is Chris is a pinball Jedi)
press start to save changes
go back
select score awards
change level 1 from 20 mil to 58 million (this resets each time)
change level 2 from 60 to 150 mil (this also resets each time)
go back
select match
change match feature from 5 to 1 (this resets each time)
go back
select high scores
change jedi credits to 0 (this was set before and stayed)
change ramp combo credits to zero (this also was set before and stayed)
change champ and high scores 1-4 credits to zero (this change remained from before)
change default high scores to 1 million for each (champ and 1-4) (this was changed before and remains ok)
go back
go back again to systems menu
select utilities
select set clock
change the year to 2011 (this resets each time to a different year each time) all other parts remain correct including month, day, and time
go back
select reset menu
select reset high scores
go back
in system menu, sometimes I select reset machine which will always hang
otherwise I press back til I return to the attract mode
I also tried a factory reset in the menu. It changed the language to French, but after backing into attract mode and going back into the menu, it was English. I then shut down and powered back on. Of course, all the changes that I changed were again reset
Hope this helps. As I wrote these down, I noticed a few high scores from earlier remained however yesterdays were long gone
