TECH: newbie star wars ZF sankyo 2005 questions, help please
... i hope i'm in the correct area!
hi,
i am a new owner of a,
star wars ZF sankyo 2005,
so as you can guess i'm eager to know all about it.
i found this newsgroup / forum.
i've read several posts on it, all very interesting.
i've tried various searches using key words that i feel describe what i'm looking for,
but no joy:(
it could be that the subjects haven't been covered or the questions asked, but i can't really see that being the case.
i have a few questions, sorry if any of them are very NEWBIE like.
i hope someone is able to spare the time to reply,
many thanks in anticipation.
here they are in no particular order....
after reading some of the posts,
i'm sorry to say that i can feel a 'cyclic mod' coming on, that would appear to be easy to do,
although it may be much harder to make it look tidy and make switchable back to it's original condition.
a DIY ball lift may also be worth looking into, belt and braces style, one can never have too many mods:)
i've not found much info on that type of mod yet, but have a few ideas.
none of which are probably new, so i would love to see other peoples attempts, to save me making the same mistakes.
as an alternative there are several post on fooling sensors, into paying out balls, , by adding momentary break switches.
this function could be mapped to the spare buttons on the front panel perhaps?
but i have a question, would this mod alter the game play in any way, would the cpu 'see' the balls being paid out and change the odds accordingly,
thus making the game play NOT as it was intended?
what does the ZF represent?
how would i tell if mine was a a real ZF and that i just haven't been misinformed.
the chance button hasn't lit up yet, when would that come into play?
i don't think i've actually had a winning line of three similar characters yet either:(
it comes on if the dongle is removed, that's not much use is it?
my instructions sheet mention a 'ball less play button', a button on a long lead,
i guess this is a self test device,
but in the best of British tradition these isn't one to be found anywhere here
and there is no obvious un populated connecter socket where one could be plugged in,
any ideas where i start looking.
regards,
GaRy:)
