Hello everyone! Sorry if this has already been addressed but I wasn't able to find a solution for it in the forum and was wondering if anyone had a similar problem. With any Gottlieb/Premier table (all System 3 I believe) I try to play, the table/roms load and boot perfectly, but when I press the 'insert coin' button (Key 5), I hear the coin-drop noise but the coin insert doesnt register a credit. In fact, I tried pressing every single key on my keyboard and to no avail.

Any suggestions? I'm running Visual Pinball 912. This pertains to FULL SCREEN table versions. I have not tried this on 4:3 table layouts, not that I think it would make a difference. Some of the tables I'm having the problem with are Teed Off, Class of 1812, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Wipe Out. On my setup all other non-Gottlieb tables work flawlessly, with the Key 5 to insert credit and Key 1 to start game.

Thanks all!

-Brian

Try pressing F3 to reset the roms.

One of us smells like a tart's handkerchief. Afraid it's me. Sorry about that, old boy.

"...After the self test and when it says Game Over, Press 7, Wait for it to show you the menu with bookkeeping, adjustments, selftest, etc - press left flipper 3 times to move the highlight to adjustments, press right flipper to select that option, press 1, press 1, then quit and replay the table and you have your nvram set to accept coins, etc."

Even after 10 years the instruction from   ArcadiusMaximus still works!

The  StreetFighter 2 table did work until I tried to change the balls/game to 5..

After that: table did start up but no coins accepted so could not play.

Tried: deleting game, re-install game, deleting nvram, deleting ROM, reinstall rom, delete entry from windows-registry...

 

all but no succes.

Glad I found this old topis, still works perfect, thanks!
