Most folks ask for L-2.

I would say after L-2, it's a 50/50 split between P-7 and L-5.

I like P-5 the best. It sucks that it is a little more "PC" and you aren't running red lights anymore. Dont think I've tried L-7

Anyone have a description of the differences?

Here's the best description I've seen:

L-2 and P-7 are the way to go. I never cared for L-5 since they removed the "run the red light" part. L-2 is more polished and more of an "official" release compared to P-7 since that is a proto ROM, however P-7 makes it feel like a new game since it adds a 2 ball multiball at 4th gear along with some other changes. I would get both ROMs and see which you like best. After switching to P-7 I never had the desire to go back to L-2 since I really like the 2-ball multiball.

Hmmm, maybe I need to swap out 5 for 2. Anyone know a good source ?

I switched L-5 for L-2 and like it, might have to give P-7 a try though.

Hwawonyu,

I have an extra L-2 ROM here since I changed out mine for one with the LED patch. You can have it if you want.

Cool, what is an LED patch? : )

Oops. I checked this morning, and the one I have is L-1.

The LED patch fixes a bug that is in all ROMs before a certain date that causes ghosting with LEDs. The patch doesn't get rid of all ghosting, but helps significantly.

Thanks for offering though. Any ideas where I can buy an L-2 with patch. I did mine up with LEDS. Huge difference!!

its possible that it should read p-6 , i had the same thing with an f-14. code said l-4 when newest was l-1. it was p-4

Is there a version with out the secret mania?

Can you post a picture of their ROM labels?
Any chance you have access to an EPROM programmer so you can dump them?

I can assist with reading ROMs in the USA if anyone wants to mail me some.

Also.... keep in mind someone with the LED ghost patcher could change the ROM letter from P-6 to L-6. Like in my WPC games all ghost patched ROMs i changed the letter to "Z", just so I know if I see its "Z" its the modified version for LEDs.

Try this...

Did not know the custom rom existed. I have a Dr Due as well. Nice work and thank you.

Oh, the Dude mod is a no brainer. Some of the mods are a bit on what flavour you prefer. But Dude makes sence on all levels.

I would love to get my hands on that one.

I see you are from Australia. Can you run though the pricing templates, and see if there is some custom Aussie ones. Or other export ones not as stated in the manual as standard. It might just be that.

Install templates: Utility menu -> U.9 Presets -> U.9 xx. Any country specific presets?

Pricing templates: Adjustement menu -> Pricing -> A.3 01. Anything different than standard...

OK, thanks. Certainly a mystery what this is all about than. I would love to get a copy of this if it is in any way possible.

I think only L5 had secret mania. I wasn't happy with L5 when I had my game. Too buggy in multiball. Switched to L2 and it was much better. Secret mania is kind of cool the first time but pointless. It's just a low scoring frenzy mode so not much fun. Game could of been so much more if there was just a few more real modes or even a hurry up. Love to see a modern version of the game that plays fast and has a lot to do.

any tips on using XDelta3? The documentation says it works like another program that I am not familiar with. Shows some decompression examples but I seem to get a missing secondary compressor error. I found LZMA.EXE and put it in the same folder with xdelta3.exe, but no go.

I had a hard time finding the right xdelta patcher....there are more than 1 versions to be found at the www. I was messing a long time with a version which didn't work and it took some time before realizing that. A version which worked for me had a 536kb filesize, build 7/1/2016 (dd/mm/yyyy). I can send you this patcher if you want by email.

L-1 has secret mania too. I don’t know why people prefer other revisions past L-1. I dont ever notice any bugs and the ball save timer is much more reasonable

Ok getting the correct version of Xdelta got me going. I haven't burned the ROM yet, but I have a patched file that looks proper. For Dr Dude U26 starts as 32KB and the patched file is 16KB. I think its still ok because the original file I used looks like a doubled up ROM.

Use this file

https://github.com/jmacd/xdelta-gpl/releases/download/v3.0.11/xdelta3-3.0.11-x86_64.exe.zip

Use this syntax

XDELTA3.EXE -D -S ORIGINAL.ROM PATCHFILE.XD3 PATCHEDOUTPUT.ROM

OK. If that is the case, it is fine by me. Thanks for clearing this out.
