Have a bit of a stupid question but I'm just curious about a silly thing. When scores were rolled over on the early solid state games (Williams, bally, stern and gottlieb) systems how did they actually display that high score after? I though I read something like it would display 000001 to represent 1 million and then the remainder of the score 438,150.
I was scratching my head and slightly disappointed today when I rolled my Scorpion to 1,438,150 but after the game it went back to displaying my previous score of 968,250. When I was getting ready to purchase the Scorpion I bought a new Rottendog MPU for it because I thought the old MPU was going to need replaced. I'm still using the old mpu at the moment and the game is still working fine. Does anyone know if the new MPU has had tweaks to change how it can hold and display high scores over 6 digits?
