Quoted from nwkadm:I had a dead battery so I purchased and inserted a new 5101 chip that I purchased online that is a replacement instead of a new battery. The problems I was experiencing (Sound not correct, no high scores, no credits) now are normal but when I play the game and launch the 1st ball, and go down the "A" or "B" lane, it lights up the "Shoot Again" feature. Then if I make all the balls (targets) and go into "Deluxe" mode, only the "L" lights up as needed to complete Deluxe......?
Any thoughts as to what is now causing this?
Bally games have no provision to detect new / corrupted RAM. You probably have junk value in the sound select audit.
Put the game in test mode with the coin door button. Keep pushing until you get to audit 16. Use the start button to set the value to '03'. Set all the audits past 16 to '03' is pretty safe in most games. Consult the manual. One of those audits may also adjust game play rules too.
You will probably want to fix audit 01 to 15 as they likely have junk in them too. The center coin switch will clear the currently selected audit. Again see the manual for all what those audits do (high score stuff most interesting ones).
