Im an engineer for these. The first software version you tried was a data pack version, the machine was looking for a data pack which was not present so it alarmed. A data pack is an optional extra device that plugs into the MPU that captures a record of all machine activities such as payouts, cash in/out, times and dates on, times when doors were opened, alarm codes etc and is required by some brewery chains in the UK but the vast majority of machines are run in non data mode as it’s not required for most sites in fact I’ve never seen it used myself. The non date software must be selected if a data capture device is not used. Both data and non data software were always available side by side for every machine software release version number in the manufacturer’s software library’s. There were often 3 or 4 updates to do for these machines over the machines first couple years from new as they tweaked things.
@@Nobe_Oddy I didn’t see how many files he had on the USB but it’s likely he may of downloaded the whole machine history library from somewhere. There could have been 2 or 3 updates as well as version 1.0 all in data pack and non data pack versions so that would be 8 files there. I’m not sure about this machine but sometimes they would also release special ‘arcade’ versions too that had different profiles like bigger streaks. And operators specific profiles. For home use some people like to deliberately install older versions as they had program errors that had exploits, manipulations, emptiers etc that they want to try out for themselves. In the company I work for commercial use we would only keep the latest non data pack version on our system but some people collected the whole library of software releases for many different machines.
There are programs for emulating "fruit machines" like the famous MAME program for arcade games. BFM, JPeMU, MFME etc. All these emulators use the original "roms". Steve download archive that has 36 Giga ? Of course, he didn't download everything, but he knows the name of the device, so only the program for it.
I stopped watching the Cod3r along time ago because he was attacking gamers his whole entire career his bread and butter really showed his true colours! Once a knob always a knob!
That is an insane deal and I'm insanely jealous.... I have a Batman Dark Knight machine which is in great condition - I paid about £300! (It is 2016 mind). £20? Awesome!! Note Acceptors are notoriously difficult to setup. You could see about a proper guide, but you probably don't need to bother TBH. Anyway, great find!! Oh One other thing. You should have a topup key. Turn that while in anything other than a feature mode and it should be in topup mode - this is how you fill the machine with coins, through the coin slot, otherwise it won't know how many coins are acrtually in the hopper. And finally, the first coin you drop after a cold reboot will always fall through - this is to prime the coin mech ready to accept coins.
I bought an old fruit machine in the early nineties, when I was in my teens. A few years later I was in an arcade and saw the same machine gathering dust at the back. I absolutely rinsed it for tokens and then use the lot in other machines/games. It was glorious!
Used to work at casinos here in the US. The different firmware versions add and remove various features like networked jackpots which is likely why the first firmware you tried was complaining about the data port; it was probably trying to communicate with other machines to figure out what the current jackpot was and the like.
Well done for fixing it. You were clearly determined to get it sorted. I have a long term project on the go, making an Arduino controlled fruit machine. Electronics has been easy enough, its been the mechanical parts that has been difficult for me.
My brother got a Super Pac-Man arcade machine for 80 dollars because the guy said the screen was broken. The truth was that the cathode ray just needed to be tuned. Took longer to find the knobs then to adjust it for a picture to display.
This gives me such nostalgia. I was 15/16 and randomly bought a fruit machine. I can date it as it used the recently demonetised 10p - and Midland bank sold me some OLD 10ps so I could use it. (I wonder if they were even allowed to do that, but they did bless them.) And somehow I soldered stuff up and fixed light bulbs and that gave me such satisfaction. Watching your channel really tapped into that teenage me that fixed that fruit machine, so this video is great.
You might not find discussions on open forums about devices like this but just as you found the BIN files, you might be able to find a proper service manual in PDF form. I never wanted a slot machine but now I feel tempted to get one :D
That is a real bargain. Mainly because, it hadn't got too much missing, the controller was in good working order, coin mech present and working, hopper in good working order. And.... you got lucky...... 🤣👌 I work in automated vending, have a passion for pre- touchscreen fruit machines, but only just trying to learn about the programming side. Good on you Steve. 👌👌👏👏
The firmware versions sometimes patch out glitches, exploits/traps, and emptiers. I had no idea emptiers existed back in the 90s when I used to play fruit machines regularly, so seeing a bunch of them explained on TH-cam was quite an eye-opener. I know there were a few methods on various £70 "Deal or no Deal" type machines, but I've never seen that particular machine that you have before.
Barcrest never got it right in the £70 era! 😂 loads of theirs had exploits that they struggled to patch properly without completely ruining the game for casual players. I remember getting an Alien back at the workshop that ‘had issues’ on site thought I’d play it for a laugh to see where it was at and it wanted £80 for a board it had been so badly forced into a corner it couldn’t gets its self out of. Sometimes they would sort of crash because the software would lock up when it knew it was miles over target percentage lol.
@@danisaac Yeah, Alien could still be done even on the final program I believe. I'm glad I stopped playing some time in the £25 jackpot era, cos I got rinsed bad enough back then, never mind at £1 a go, lol.
Man i wish i still worked in this field. My tenure in the industry ended around the MPU5 era. Never had the pleasure of working with an MPU6. (And trust me, after working on the old skorpion boards this looked like an absolute DREAM to work on)
Hi Steve I currently work for inspired gaming group and we have NV10'S that accept the new polymer notes I'm sure we have an upgrade for you, meantime the hopper will be set at £350 so on the 351st coin it will then divert to the cash box it prevents the hopper overfilling, I'm back in work on Tuesday I'll let you know great find tho.
Sorry to change the subject but do you work on the digital machines Andrew? Currently looking to revive an iPub that’s lost the machine certificate from the NVRAM… just wondering what magic you may be able to tell me.
My friend would service slots in the 80's. He got up of smoky pubs in rough areas, punters claiming it hadn't paid out and landlords asking to reduce the payouts, as cash in machine was split with landlord.
Hey Steve! That''s a great deal! And winning 3 pounds back on your purchase is amazing for a slot machine :))) If only you had a license to put it in your pub so you could win back the remaining 17 pounds! Great work mate from Australia!
Another amusing video - and succesful. A couple of points about fixing things:- 1. Superglue and baking powder are is an excellent way of strengthening broken posts etc. 2. I haven't seen you finding short circuited components just by sloshing IPA on the circuit board and applying a current limited power supply. I applied 1 amp and found the culprit immediately. 3. I learned the hard way to identify a component before removing it from the pcb. Once removed, they are snatched by goblins and never seen again Keep up the good work!
Take £1000 out of the bank. Burn £300 of it. Then be proud of yourself when you deposit your £700 "winnings" back in thr bank. Same thing less flashy tap tap.
The fruit machines in the student union put me through uni :D There was a race on a Monday morning to see who could get to the machines and take the jackpot from all the drunk idiots who had filled it over the weekend.
Can’t believe you score this for so cheap. I think this is my favorite of all of your rescues. I would love to have one of these somewhere in my house just in demo mode all the time. So freaking cool
Hey Steve. I have a fruit machine with missing software MPU6 based “Take it or leave it” just wondering how I get hold of the software, are there any leads you can give me? Well done by the way and keep the vids coming there amazing.
If you have it in demo mode you can press buttons to move reels and move around the board on feature board i think if you hold the 1st button and then press hi or lo to move the board
“It’s falling down the back” Words uttered by people who think the fruity is due to pay out, only to find a few hours later, they’re another £100 down.
These machines are called flickers by professional gamblers. You can take all the value out by credit rotation method. It doesn't matter what state this is in. When they have note changers etc, dropping down the back isn't really relevant. You put £9 in, if it gives a board before 7/8 you add another 28, making it 35, play that off on 50p. Play the deal or no deal board after it's had the 35. It's gauranteed to give 35 minimum, but usually will be 70 or a deal between 35 and 70, repeat and rinse til it gives you a 35 box, then switch it down to 25p and it will give you 1 or 2 repeats on the 35 box which switched to 6/8 when you change down the stakes. Good little earners. 40/50 mostly. Cannot lose machines these for pros. 100s of these and there clones about, was epic
Really enjoyable watch, thank you. I had a Kung Fu Pounda fruit machine a couple of years back which was brilliant fun to play. Then one day it suddenly stopped powering on. I spent ages trying to figure out what was wrong with it, even managed to get in touch with the manufacturer. It seems most likely that the battery had leaked and damaged the motherboard. Never could fix it, ended up selling it as a non functional item in the end. I still miss that machine. Looks like you got an absolute bargain there and well done getting it working again, I hope you have a lot of fun with it!
I bought a faulty deal or no deal machine about 5 years ago. Replaced a reel and motor and another part I can’t remember, having never worked on one before. It’s still in my games room today
I bought a JPM Moneymine many years ago for £8.!!! I found there was £7 in loose change stuck in the machine, so effectively cost me £1. Long story short, I got it going and still have it!
I've always wanted a retro one. I'm thinking 90s though. I'd keep an eye out, but I don't think the missus would let me have another one. They're massive! 😂
I once looked at a hoarder's place filled to the ceiling with stuff and the chap apparently used to repair these, loads of spares and some paperwork in the piles but all ruined by damp. Judging by the design the stuff was proper old, 70s-ish I'd say. I did manage to save one advertising flyer that somehow managed to escape the damp.
I love watching you fix things. And I get a lot of joy seeing you succeed at fixes. But for some reason this one filled me with more joy than ever before. I was so happy to see this working and loved seeing how happy you were to finally get resolved the issue!
Wish I knew what the difference(s) were with the bin files! Comparing them shows they are slightly different but in what way I have no idea. Might affect the payout amounts? Would be worth finding out on the many MFME (fruit / slot machine emulation) forums if you consider putting this machine in your pub.
I worked at a horse race track in the beginning of the 2000's up until 2006. The bill acceptor had chips in it we had to update regularly to accept the new bills. Maybe it's similar in that machine.
Wonder if the bevel above the hold buttons and reel glass has scratches on it where people would run a pound across if it didn't go in?? Did work though. 😂😂
Saw a guy in Wolverhampton casino, he had won the £1000 jackpot, later we saw him putting it back in the machine, with many empty pint glasses next to him.
I bought a faulty monopoly machine and the biggest headache I have nowadays is the stupid amount of bulbs the little 286 and 501 type... Everytime it's powered up I end up replacing a few bulbs... Keeps me busy.. Walking round all day in an arcade changing bulbs I can imagine becomes mind numbing :(
Hi Steve it seems you can have the software for the upgrade on your nv10 from MAGGI Electronics via USB with step by step instructions I believe this is a paid service not as much as a replacement, and Y is your software as this represents standard, the other is Data which we used a data connection to monitor any fraudulent activity and would alarm 7.1.
The first software needed an EDC unit for collections, which stores all the information. Note accepter means you need more £ coins in the hopper before it will work.
When ever they went wrong at Gala we called Leisure link. When it was MPU related it was a pain. They had to order them in case by case issue as even the on call engineers where not allowed to do any thing. Most likely to keep the smoke & mirrors for how the percentage was run, even when you know what it is. Though this is more a pub/chippy type unit then bingo hall/casino ones.
Oohhh learnt a little there cheers . Ive been given them years ago with 50 odd quid in hopper another £2 coins fallen down around 😂great buy well done 💥👏i fix a tad older ones up to the Mpu5s 80s and 90s I collect and restore 👍🎰
Looking at that first alarm for no dataport comm, I noticed there is a dataport on the control unit - I'd imangine the boot rom you flashed was for diagnostics and needs external data port connected - looks like a DB5 serial potentially so if tht's the case, hook it up to a USB DB 9/25 serial port there error is most likely missing a serial handshake
I can proudly say I caused this error multiple times on a gambling machine called pharaohs gold where you had to shoot targets using a physical crossbow. I'm a naturally good shot and I learned how to regularly play for the jackpot. When you do you play a skill shot for the win, it moves really fast but it's real skill, lower amounts are slower but there's a noticeable delay after you pull the trigger. Anyway I won't the jackpot twice in one day sometime and had to go and see the desk haha they paid me the next day. Sadly I haven't seen the machine in ages and I'm always on the lookout for it. Must have won nearly a grand from it if not more.
I had a Crown Jester machine once I got from an arcade in Skegness. The owner was selling off old machines to make room for new ones. It worked fine for a few years then the Mars coin mech failed and I had no way to replace it ( we're talking quite a few years ago before the internet was full of info and goodies ) so I had to play on tokens. Then the machine decided to fail the EPROM that was on the motherboard and the machine was officially dead after that. Even if I had access to the rom, back then I would not be able to cheaply afford the equipment to program a new EPROM let alone have a computer to do it on as all I had then was my Amiga 1200 and no internet LOL Fascinating things and the evolution of these machines. My machine was all on one board with a lot of logic chips and several ROMS for the lights, sound etc.. When I was a kid in the 80's my sister and her boyfriend bought a machine from god knows where and that one was all mechanical logic. A motor would turn a ticker and the ticks coincided with the lights and also controlled the wheels. From the outside it looked quite modern, all lights, nudges etc but inside was more like a pin ball machine for its workings. I think with these things they are best off in the hands of experts that know them inside out or someone with a friend who knows how. Pretty sure there is also a law in the UK with high stake machines that you need a gambling licence to buy them new, don't quote me on that though because there is a thin line between 'for the home' and 'ask no questions' lol For me personally, I only want one just to watch its light show ha ha ha :D

Yeah, this was super satisfying to get fully working! Looks great as well, with all the bulbs replaced and a good polish! 😊
Brilliant this is mate! There’s nothing better than fixing ‘stuff’! why haven’t I seen your channel before! 🤪👍🏻👍🏻
I watched the first one on the second channel, absolutely brilliant, well done :) Bet that had you smiling all evening.
That's so cool! Who'd have thought it was just a corrupt eeprom... Definitely a nice find
Awesome to see it all working and £50 for a note acceptor is a bargain we pay more than that.
You showed that you know your way around a fruit machine as soon as you held "cancel" whilst getting onto the feature!
Awesome episode. We live near a casino, so seeing the inner workings of those things is pretty interesting.
This is such a cool find! I love your videos but this one is especially satisfying to watch.
Wish I knew what the difference(s) were with the bin files! Comparing them shows they are slightly different but in what way I have no idea. Might affect the payout amounts? Would be worth finding out on the many MFME (fruit / slot machine emulation) forums if you consider putting this machine in your pub.
I worked at a horse race track in the beginning of the 2000's up until 2006. The bill acceptor had chips in it we had to update regularly to accept the new bills. Maybe it's similar in that machine.
What makes the new banknotes different? Updated security or something?
I look forward to every one of your videos! I appreciate your hard work and dedication 🤜💥🤛
Steve this is one of your best fixings so random keep the videos coming. Just buy some old bank notes if you are keeping it just for fun.👍👍👍👍👍
Wonder if the bevel above the hold buttons and reel glass has scratches on it where people would run a pound across if it didn't go in??
Did work though. 😂😂
This is awesome. Question, what was the url for the internet archives page?
Love to watch a video of long gameplay on this machine ,done a great job looks great 👍👍
Saw a guy in Wolverhampton casino, he had won the £1000 jackpot, later we saw him putting it back in the machine, with many empty pint glasses next to him.
I bought a faulty monopoly machine and the biggest headache I have nowadays is the stupid amount of bulbs the little 286 and 501 type... Everytime it's powered up I end up replacing a few bulbs... Keeps me busy.. Walking round all day in an arcade changing bulbs I can imagine becomes mind numbing :(
Hi Steve it seems you can have the software for the upgrade on your nv10 from MAGGI Electronics via USB with step by step instructions I believe this is a paid service not as much as a replacement, and Y is your software as this represents standard, the other is Data which we used a data connection to monitor any fraudulent activity and would alarm 7.1.
The first software needed an EDC unit for collections, which stores all the information. Note accepter means you need more £ coins in the hopper before it will work.
Excellent fix. What are you going to do with it now?
Cool video. Love the mechanics of these machines. What they do to poor and vulnerable people not so much though.
I've always wanted an old school pub fruity machine like this myself to have at home
When ever they went wrong at Gala we called Leisure link. When it was MPU related it was a pain. They had to order them in case by case issue as even the on call engineers where not allowed to do any thing. Most likely to keep the smoke & mirrors for how the percentage was run, even when you know what it is. Though this is more a pub/chippy type unit then bingo hall/casino ones.
I love the t-shirt. I've seen the band 4 times now. And meet Dave on his tour bus.
I used to love playing fruit machines back in the day with all flashing lights ect the new ones in pubs are boring
Very interesting video you can play old games yourself on pc but not mpu6 am i right snd thanking theses hold £350 float good be wrong
£250 without note acceptor
£350 with note acceptor
Yes
@danisaac how much does the old club £100 jp and £250 jp hold or is the same
Good work.. never burnt plastic
Very cool! I also like the Pepsi clock in the background.
Ah wow I'd love to have a fruity. £17 unbelievable bargain well done.,
Brilliant Steve well done nice machine there handy when friends come round 😊
Oohhh learnt a little there cheers . Ive been given them years ago with 50 odd quid in hopper another £2 coins fallen down around 😂great buy well done 💥👏i fix a tad older ones up to the Mpu5s 80s and 90s I collect and restore 👍🎰
Looking at that first alarm for no dataport comm, I noticed there is a dataport on the control unit - I'd imangine the boot rom you flashed was for diagnostics and needs external data port connected - looks like a DB5 serial potentially so if tht's the case, hook it up to a USB DB 9/25 serial port there error is most likely missing a serial handshake
The data port was a connected device to log the machines data. See the top comment here.
OMG this made me laugh so much, I think this is your funniest video yet! And very satisfying too!
😅 thanks Mr Scott!
I'll give you a thumbs up for the vid even before watching it, purely on your choice of band t-shirt. 👏
"Shut up, I -AM- the manager!" - Steve.
I can proudly say I caused this error multiple times on a gambling machine called pharaohs gold where you had to shoot targets using a physical crossbow. I'm a naturally good shot and I learned how to regularly play for the jackpot. When you do you play a skill shot for the win, it moves really fast but it's real skill, lower amounts are slower but there's a noticeable delay after you pull the trigger. Anyway I won't the jackpot twice in one day sometime and had to go and see the desk haha they paid me the next day. Sadly I haven't seen the machine in ages and I'm always on the lookout for it. Must have won nearly a grand from it if not more.
Cut the red wire🤣Glad you got it fixed never doubted you but that was a challenge hey 👍thank you for the entertaining video ✌️
when in lamp test the display will actually tell you which circuit has the high resistance.
I'd love to see you play with the stake settings to see how it plays differently
0:45 ooh, Wylex consumer unit, fancy!
Really enjoyed this video...Truly glad you got it going..Thanks for the relaxing time..Bobbio
I really hope you find broken Pachinko or Pachislo some day to fix!!
Great Video......but to be honest, im still losing sleep wondering what happened to those 20 label printers???
I really liked this video.
Please get more fruit machines.
I've got a pocket full of pretty green!
I'm going to spend it on the fruit machine!
Do you have a link for where to get the ROMs? I have a machine I just got that needs the software installed but no idea where to start, many thanks
I got a jxd singularity s102k it stop charging and powering on, I didn't know if you want to make a video on it
Loved this one, more fruit machines pls 🙏🏻
I had a Crown Jester machine once I got from an arcade in Skegness. The owner was selling off old machines to make room for new ones. It worked fine for a few years then the Mars coin mech failed and I had no way to replace it ( we're talking quite a few years ago before the internet was full of info and goodies ) so I had to play on tokens. Then the machine decided to fail the EPROM that was on the motherboard and the machine was officially dead after that. Even if I had access to the rom, back then I would not be able to cheaply afford the equipment to program a new EPROM let alone have a computer to do it on as all I had then was my Amiga 1200 and no internet LOL Fascinating things and the evolution of these machines. My machine was all on one board with a lot of logic chips and several ROMS for the lights, sound etc.. When I was a kid in the 80's my sister and her boyfriend bought a machine from god knows where and that one was all mechanical logic. A motor would turn a ticker and the ticks coincided with the lights and also controlled the wheels. From the outside it looked quite modern, all lights, nudges etc but inside was more like a pin ball machine for its workings.
I think with these things they are best off in the hands of experts that know them inside out or someone with a friend who knows how.
Pretty sure there is also a law in the UK with high stake machines that you need a gambling licence to buy them new, don't quote me on that though because there is a thin line between 'for the home' and 'ask no questions' lol
For me personally, I only want one just to watch its light show ha ha ha :D
Wow MPU6! Not emulated in MFME sadly 😅
That's an absolute bargain for £20, and you got three quid back, what a steal!
