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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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)
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!
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. 👌👌👏👏
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
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.
Hiya Steve I noticed how everyone loved this fruit machine video and ask you to do more, I have an old cops n robbers for sale that’s faulty I’m not sure if it’s the board or the power supply but it lights up so it’s definitely fixable, I’m not a million miles away from you if your interested?
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!
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 UA-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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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
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 👍🎰
13:06 Some people want to get rid. Our friends one had an alarm going off but I wasn't aware of how to fix it. He just wanted rid so was going to give it to me for free. I really wanted it but sadly don't have the room.
“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
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.
You fix the best stuff. Wish I could send you the laptop I just bricked T_T The local computer repair shop refused to take it in because they didn't have the hardware to reflash the BIOS...
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.

This is why I love your channel as you fix random things like a fruit machine and aren’t just constantly trying to repair ps5
I guess you're also not welcoming your face to Joey Does Tech anymore?
Yes, I stopped watching ps5 repairs, afters some time it gets old.

I collect the old ones 80s n 90s about 50 now most had to be rebuilt poor things 😂 like that batman one of yours👍

or some sort of "master" machine or server?
How would they do that? Wifi? Or cable?
@@crapparc Cable, hence the "data port". Likely an ethernet jack or something like that.
I have seen mpu machines hooked up to progressives on a cruise ship before, always wondered how that worked.
Sir, when the money came out and you said "Oh my god" ... I genuinely stood up, laughed and applauded! What a great video, thank you! 😊
Your joy of fixing and playing this was infectious. Great video

Working ones of this age are only worth about £200 tops. Non-working ones come up on ebay all the time. I bought one for £20 too..
This episode was fantastic. Something new. Something different. Great value. I'm pretty sure you're gonna sell it after you are done playing with it.

A quick StezStix video before heading to the post office for work? DON'T MIND IF I DO!

I'd love to see you play with the stake settings to see how it plays differently
Luv a great mystery fix vid!
I really hope you find broken Pachinko or Pachislo some day to fix!!

Amazing job man you are awesome! Keep up the great work!!!
Amazing mancave material ❤ good find
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've got a pocket full of pretty green!
I'm going to spend it on the fruit machine!
Thought you forgot all about the fruit machine.Couldn’t wait for you to fix it 🎉 Nice going and work Steve🏆
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.
Good to see this and £20 for a slot machine is a bargain - nice 1 Steve 👍
Nice video Steve! Thanks
That's an absolute bargain for £20, and you got three quid back, what a steal!
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 old one are bandits were the best machines. 👍
All this confuser stuff in a fruit machine is just to not pay out. 🤣
You fix the best stuff. Wish I could send you the laptop I just bricked T_T The local computer repair shop refused to take it in because they didn't have the hardware to reflash the BIOS...
Nice one Steve!
