Hello everyone ! In this video I will show you a tip for playing games that require multiple credit buttons using only one credit button. This tip can be very handy when you have a machine with a single credit button, but you want to play games that normally require multiple credit buttons.
Step 1 : Understanding the problem Sometimes machines are designed with a single credit button for simplicity and design reasons. However, this can be a problem for games that originally had one coin operated per player, thus limiting the number of possible players. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem.
2nd step : Tip to work around the problem For this tip, I will take the example of a Capcom game: “Armored Warriors”. Follow these steps to play this multiplayer game:
- Access to the configuration menu: Press and hold the START button for approximately three seconds. This will take you to an advanced machine setup menu.
- Find the correct parameter: In this menu, look for the configuration parameter relating to credits. It may be located in different places in different games, but dig around and you'll find it. In this specific case, the parameter is found under “System configuration” then “Coins”.
- Credit adjustment: In the settings you will find different options for credits. For example, a button press might add one or two credits. You will need to find the “Freeplay” option which will allow you to play without having to insert coins or press the credit button.
- Changing the parameter: Select the “Freeplay” option. This will allow you to play without having to insert coins or press the credit button.
- Saving the configuration: Once the parameter has been changed, exit the configuration menu by pressing both START buttons simultaneously. This will save the new configuration.
- Enjoy the game: You have finished ! Now you can play the game in “Freeplay” mode, without having to insert coins or press the credit button. You can even play with two players without any problem.
Conclusion : There you go, now you know how to play games that require multiple credit buttons using only one credit button. This tip is very useful to bypass limitations and fully enjoy your favorite games. I hope this tutorial was useful to you. See you soon for new tips!
