CPS-2 on screen coin counter, how to remove it?

Artemio · Oct 17, 2009

I had never seen this on-screen coin and service counter.

I just got this game today and it is the only of the several CPS-2 games I have that displays this. I already reset the game to fractory settings and changed A boards to see if that was the cause. I also disconnected the physical coin counter and it didn't help.

Never seen that before, there certainly isn't an option.

Proberly corruption.

Is the game a boot.

Artemio · Oct 17, 2009

No it is not a boot, it was "sealed" with the capcom stamps, I opened it to clean it and to change the battery. It is there almost all the time.

It shows teh current coin and service credits used, so I doubt it is coruption...

Maybe in dev or debug if there is any.

I'd make sure the A & B boards are making a perfect connection. I've had that happen before.

Artemio · Oct 18, 2009

I'll try that agiain.. but I tested it with several A boards and it always was the same. If that is the case maybe the B board has some issue.. but the game works perfectly fine otherwise.

I also vaguely remember seeing this on a SSF2. I have reason to believe it's a legit feature, and there should be a way to turn it off.

Check for bent pins on the four connectors under the b-board.

Artemio · Oct 18, 2009

Checked for bent pins, none are. Here's another pic, in game this time:

It looks like a feature rather than a glitch. You sure there isn't an option in the test menu?

Dion · Oct 18, 2009

Is it original battery or phoenix. Could it be a corrupt rom?

Artemio · Oct 18, 2009

It has the original battery, I was going to replace it this week.

Xian Xi: yes I am sure there is no option, only teh usual settings are present.

The same thing happens in my super turbo board when the screen is flashing on the ryu closeup.

Artemio · Nov 3, 2009

Well it turned out it is the way that version of the game is, it was an undumped CPS-2 version of the game (hispanic). After dumping it and sending it to Razoola and the MAME team, it is finally emulated with it's glorious counter.
