Balls per Game Adjustment - Data East/Sega Version 3 and 3B

Here is the procedure to set number of balls for Data East/Sega version 3 and version 3B tables (up to, but not including, Baywatch). Tables from Baywatch onwards used the service menu portal system, which will be discussed in another post. These include the last tables Data East produced before being taken over by Sega:

1) Press 7 to enter the audits and adjustments menu

2) Continue to press 7 until you see Expand Adjustments (or Expand Adjusts) in the DMD

3) Press 1 to change option to Yes

4) Continue to press 7 until you see Balls per Game in the DMD

5) Press 1 to set the number of balls (between 2 and 5)

6) Either continually press 7 to go through all the menu options to reset the table and save changes, or press F3.

This procedure should work for the following tables:

Data East/Sega Version 3 tables:

Checkpoint, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman, Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Hook, Lethal Weapon 3, Aaron Spelling, Star Wars, Rocky and Bullwinkle*, Jurassic Park^, Last Action Hero, Tales From the Crypt*, Tommy – Pinball Wizard, WWF Royal Rumble^, Guns ‘N Roses

Data East/Sega Version 3B tables:

Maverick, Frankenstein

*- for these tables, the number of balls can be set between 1 and 5

^- for these tables, the number of balls can be set between 1 and 9
