0.111u1 [Roberto Fresca, f205v]


< Italy >


WIP:

- 0.153: Roberto Fresca and ANY added clones Pool 10 (Italian, set 5), (set 6), (set 7), (set 8) and Royal (Pool 10 hack).

- 0.147u3: Roberto Fresca and Team Europe added clone 'Pool 10 (Italian, Dino 4 hardware, encrypted)', from an encrypted PCB. Improvements to Pool 10 in Dino 4 hardware [Roberto Fresca]: Added PCB layout and technical notes. Decrypted the program data & address. Decrypted the graphics ROMs address. Added a default NVRAM. Added button-lamps layout. Promoted to working state. Improved the PCB layout. Added some encryption notes.

- 9th November 2012: Roberto Fresca - Dino 4 encrypted hardware (take two): I requested to trace the program ROM data/address, and found that the hardware has the encryption fixed. Don't know about the graphics ROMs, since they are completely connected to a couple of protected PLDs. Anyway... The good news are that I was able to decrypt the graphics ROMs too.

- 8th November 2012: Roberto Fresca - Thanks to Team Europe, we got a rare encrypted board. The hardware is a Fun World / TAB / Impera 8bit derivative with some encryption scheme. After some attempts, I was able to decrypt the program ROM data/address. The game is a Pool 10 clone, encrypted to run in this hardware. The graphics ROMs still need some decryption, but I'm currently working on it.

- 0.137u1: Fixed gfx1 rom loading in clone Pool 10 (italian, set 2).

- 0.137: Roberto Fresca added external default NVRAM support to Pool 10 and clones.

- 0.127u4: Roberto Fresca added clone Pool 10 (italian, set 4).

- 6th September 2008: f205v dumped Pool 10 (italian, set 4).

- 0.126u3: Roberto Fresca added clone Pool 10 (italian, set 3).

- 29th July 2008: f205v dumped Pool 10 (italian, set 3).

- 0.124u5: Added dipswitches 'Super Game Payment Type' and 'Direct Payout (tickets)'.

- 0.123u1: Changed description to 'Pool 10 (italian, set 1)' and clone (Italia, set 2) 'Pool 10 (italian, set 2)'.

- 0.112: Roberto Fresca added clone Pool 10 (Italia, set 2). Changed parent description to 'Pool 10 (Italia, set 1)'.

- 2nd February 2007: Roberto Fresca - Added another revision of Pool 10 (thanks to f205v that kindly won the eBay bid for me and dumped the board).

- 2nd January 2007: f205v dumped Pool 10 (italian, set 2).

- 0.111u1: Roberto Fresca added 'Pool 10 (Italia)' (C.M.C. 1996).

- 24th December 2006: Roberto Fresca - The missing piece has been found. Pool 10, that apparently was the father of some other italian gambling games. Pool 10 (Italia) is running. Still need a bit of work and code analysis. More to come... A big Thanks to MAME Italian Forum guys for all their efforts.

- 23rd December 2006: f205v dumped Pool 10 (italian, set 1).

- TRIVIA -

In Italy many people became addicted to videopokers. They put so much money on them, and they had to sell the house. Also some engineers modified video pokers to do less wins and so on... Because of this the government did some laws in order to regulate videopokers wins. Starting from around 1996/1997 there were subsequent laws because engineers always found a way to elude them.

Today all the videopokers need to be connected via AAMS net (a government society dedicated to games) which check if the videopoker is regular. Nowadays it's difficult to trick and the video poker has to give 75% of wins. This has made videopoker market to collapse and infact there aren't many videopokers left. Also because the laws changed very often and old videopokers became illegal was a very bad thing for bar owners because they couldn't earn enough money. Pool 10 was apparently the "father" of other Italian gambling games. As soon as it became illegal, was converted to "Cuore 1", "Elephant Family", "Tortuga Family" and other games. Engineers always found a simple way to elude the law.
