    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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

    “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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
