0.99u2 [Curt Coder]
SETUP:
- Sometimes the game boots with a "Coin Jam" message. Just reset the game to normalize. There are 2 sets of controls. Press the BIG key to switch between them.
- Press 9 to enter settings, press START to exit. Press 0 to enter stats, press START to exit. Keeping pressed 9 + 0 + RESET (F3), will enter the test mode. Press RESET to exit.
- New Lucky 8 Lines has two sets of controls than can be switched through each 'BIG' button. Even you can switch controls in middle of the game. When a set of controls are in use, the other set is blocked till 'BIG' button is pressed.
WIP:
- 0.148u5: Roberto Fresca and ANY added clones New Lucky 8 Lines (set 4, W-4), (set 5, W-4, main 40%, d-up 60%) and (set 6, W-4, main 40%, d-up 60%).
- 0.138: Changed description to 'New Lucky 8 Lines (set 1, W-4)' and clones (set 2) to 'New Lucky 8 Lines (set 2, W-4)' and (set 3, extended gfx) to 'New Lucky 8 Lines (set 3, W-4, extended gfx)'.
- 26th April 2010: Smitdogg - Thanks to Incog we got an alt. version of New Lucky 8 Lines.
- 0.137: Angelo Salese implemented NMI enable flag in Lucky 8 Lines and Magical Odds, fixes logic quirks in the latter.
- 0.135: Roberto Fresca, Darklord and Team Europe added clone New Lucky 8 Lines (set 3, extended gfx). This set has the New Lucky 8 Lines / New Super 8 Lines program, so bets are up to 64. Same extended tileset for reels, but lacks of the New Super 8 Lines title tiles. Maybe is a hidden feature, maybe just graphics for another hack.
- 0.129u1: Roberto Fresca removed the imperfect colors flag from Lucky8 sets (colors look a bit dark, but seems properly decoded). Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 3MHz.
- 11th January 2009: Roberto Fresca - I've fixed the color decode of the Lucky 8 Lines type machines.
- 0.129: Roberto Fresca added clone New Lucky 8 Lines (set 2). Changed parent description to 'New Lucky 8 Lines (set 1)'. Improvements to New Lucky 8 Lines [Roberto Fresca]: Proper 3x PPI 8255 connections. Created a new AY8910 interface due to different ports addressing. Hooked all the input banks (8). Improved dipswitches with main game and D-UP rates, keyin values, D-UP game type (reels/cards) and other options to both sets. Added DIP locations to all DSW banks. Promoted both sets to working state. Fixed memory map. Fixed NVRAM (please delete the old .nv). Added sound through SN76496. Added 3x PPI 8255. Created basic inputs from the scratch to match the PPI connections. Defined the output port. Improved colors. Change manufacturer to Wing Co.Ltd. The game has 2 sets of controls. Once coined, both players can switch control through their own 'BIG' key. If the game boots with 'Coin Jam' error, press RESET to normalize. Please delete your old .nv and .cfg files before run this update. Added prom ($100).
- 31st December 2008: Roberto Fresca - Well... After a hard work, I was able to finish the New Lucky 8 Lines emulation. Lot of work on PPI devices, inputs, dipswitches, NVRAM, etc... Haze made a very good job fixing the colors. And 2 different kind of Double-Up: Automatic (reels) or player select (cards).
- 0.128u7: Fixed gfx2/proms loading. Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 4MHz and AY-3-8910A to 1.5MHz. Added dipswitches 'Game Style', 'Hopper Out', 'Payout Automatic?', 'W-Up '7'', 'W-Up Pay Rate', 'W-Up Game', 'Bet Max', 'Main Game Pay Rate', 'Hopper Limit', '100 Odds Sound', 'Key-In Type', 'Center Super 7 Bet Limit', 'Coin A', 'Coin C', 'Credit Limited', 'Display Credit Limit', 'Type of Coin D', 'Bonus Play Min Bet', 'Reel Speed', 'Ticket Payment' and 'Show Woman'. Changed description to 'New Lucky 8 Lines' and manufacturer to 'Wing Co.Ltd'.
- 0.122u8: Zsolt Vasvari removed colortables from Lucky 8 and a number of other drivers, as part of a larger move to phase out old-style colortables. Changed palettesize to 256 colors.
- 9th March 2007: Guru - Lucky 8 lines w-4 (Falcon 1989) bootleg arrived today. Thanks to Gp-Lee.
