Does anyone know what triggers the video mode in Black Rose? There are four video possibilities when the ball goes into the center hole at the top of the machine. Swing from the riggings, Knife throw, swim from the shark, and Polly says. When Polly appears you actually get points, free ball, etc. without having to perform a challenge. I can play for hours and all the options appear except for Polly. I don't know if it's a switch or software. Also the fire button has stopped working and wonder if anyone has had to repair that and how difficult it was. Thanks for any help you can give.

I don't know what rom I am running- how do I find out? Also if Polly was killed then how does she come back? I do have all the original manuals etc and did not see anything regarding this in there. Thanks for your reply.

When you boot it will tell you the software version (L-4) for example.

Hi Bischt- I ordered the L-4 code and have it now. Is there somewhere I can find instructions on installing it? I am a pinball player but have not done repairs etc. Thanks for your help.

With the game off, locate your MPU in the middle left hand quadrant of the backbox. On the MPU you will see a similar chip (ROM) on your MPU hopefully marked L-1. Now some people can do this with the board still in the game, others have to take the board out to the work bench. This is for you to decide based on your skill level.

You can purchase an IC puller from Radio Shack or use a very small jewelers screwdriver to gently and SLOWLY pry up the ROM from the MPU. You do not want to bend the legs of the IC or damage the socket or gouge the circuit board. Take note of the orientation of the little notch on the IC that you are removing. You will want to install your new L-4 ROM in that same orientation.

Installing the new ROM involves making sure that ALL of the legs line up with each spot in the socket. You may have to GENTLY squeeze the legs towards the middle of the IC to get a perfect fit. Go slowly.

Once you have verified that you have the legs lined up, you can apply gently downward pressure to seat the chip in the socket. Again go slowly, you don't want to bend the legs or break them off. Once the chip is fully seated (reinstall the MPU if you took it out of the game) you can turn the game on and enjoy your upgrade!

Polly is Resurrected by upper flipping yr ball thru the Short cut behind Davy Jones Locker . The Parrot really never dies , it's just cool to Kill it . Have Fun and Up-Grade yr Game rom -

Thanks Black_ROSE I will report back on the upgrade and Polly. She just disappeared - I don't think I ever killed her as I never you could.
