Thayer's Quest
#397851 - 02/02/24 01:25 PM


Thayer's Quest

I don't think that this is right but when you coin up it gives you 3 credits but really it's 3 lives so the score board is wrong & also swapped the dip to 5 lives but it still gives you 3 credits on score board which should be 5 lives.

Can someone else confirm this is wrong & the on screen score board shoes credits instead of lives & the dip to change lives is wrong also.

Thanks

Here's pic of when i coin up it shows 3 credits instead of lives. You might have to download image to see properly

- No viable solution for reading configuration DIPs at init time, so the driver is hard-coded to LD-V1000 mode.


Until things are resolved, the dips settings will not be working correctly.

Thayer's Quest: Not a MAME Bug... an Artwork Bug new [Re: agard]

> Thanks i didn't know to look in source file but at least i know it's a known bug.


This is my current artwork's fault, not MAME's fault.

When I originally put this artwork file together, I had only ever seen a conversion cabinet, which just had the full Dragon's Lair scoreboard.

The conversion kit for this game actually comes with graphics that covers a good part of the DL scoreboard... the first three LEDs are completely covered, and the bottom LED, the text is overlayed with graphics to change that to TIMER.

So not only is the artwork incorrect, it's likely hooked up wrong on my file, because it is showing LIVES vs the TIMER.

Nightvoice recently put together a file this past week... it's not the "official" keyboard for the CPU... (it's a custom graphic... we are waiting for better scans/pics of the real thing), still very nice.

EDIT: Nope... I'm wrong about that last part... that is the official keyboard... just cropped to the screen width.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
