MAMEWorld Forums - Programming - LED Ticker fron a Golden Tee Cab

Hi All,

I'm in need of help with the Red LED Ticker Display which sits in the top of my Golden Tee Cab. Its now mame, but I can't get it to take any messages, it just resets itself into a test mode.

I've tried, I think, most of the available software that programs Tickers made by BetaTech.

It works (diplays ok)......but not sure how it was fed the information to display the words, was it preloaded on the ticker roms or did the information come from the game board.

The tickers only input port is a phone/modem port, the cable that was in the machine looks to be a standard modem type, I have it connected to my pc through the serial port using a RS-232 to modem cable type of connector, which I bought as this is what is used on other tickers to function from a pc (shop diplays etc). (I have tried both the new cable that came with the rs-232 unit and the old one)

I'm not wanting it to display the games names, though that would be cool, just want it to scroll some pre-programmed messages.

Sorry for the long post, if anyone has any ideas, I would like to hear them.

Could the wiring be non standard to the ticker board?

Cheers.
