Hello
In my pirates of the Caribbean pinball the problem is it does not save the settings I make, like the free play, etc ... every time it closes makes a reset settings. there is no battery problem because the scores saves them normally. What it can be?
I just shopped a POTC. Mine is doing the same. I replaced the coin battery and no help. just read on a totc board that a similar problem was happening to another user and he said replacing the diode on D25 and fixed his. I'll check mine out this weekend and see if that helps. please post if you find something different.
So this morning I started looking into this. I couldn't find much on the forums. I decided to try to reload the system files. went to stern website and loaded english/spanish version onto jump drive. went through the upgrade steps. when I got to the part where I should have selected the firmware to load, the process in the service menu reset to the beginning without upgrading or processing as far as I could tell. I tried this three or four times with the same results. It never seemed to load anything new. I assumed it was registering that the firmware was the same so it just kicked back to the start. anyway, I pulled out the usb and flipped switch 8 back off. I power cycled the game. I went into the settings and turned it to free play. I exited the service menu by selecting quit instead of pressing the back button. I played a game, power cycled it again, and the free play mode stayed set. I turned it off for two hours and restarted it and it still is on free play. So far this seems to have worked for me. I'm not sure which part fixed it, maybe just selecting quit instead of pushing back to exit the dx menu, but i know I did that before. I'll leave it off until this evening and check again. hope this works!
