It's a nightmare to change these Zaccaria settings.

 

You need to reset ALL the settings (also #6 to #9 by holding the start button for >5 seconds) so the game will still work.

Which means you need to set some replay scores as well. Leaving them untouched won't work.

 

You might even have to reset setting #18 even if it controls nothing; not sure about that one.

Remember to set Dip #4 to ON before changing / resetting stuff.

The settings of "Pinball Champ" apply to most other games (except special game features of course):
http://mirror2.ipdb....p_82_Manual.pdf

 

See page 6, "Notizie techniche generali" for the Italian instruction of the settings procedure,
page 15, "Allgemeine technische Hinweise" for German,

page 24, "General technical information" for English,

page 33, "Remarques techniques generales" for French.

 

Page 28 lists all the settings.

 

is there a manual 2 know what # corresponds to what function?

Thank you, with your instruction I tuned my Farfalla in each aspect. Now it plays outstanding good. One hint for other users: print pages 6-9 (numbers refers to Farfalla manual) of the manual, then you come easier through the adjustment process.
