Yeah, I was lazy at the time of adding the game to the driver, and some of the inputs are slightly different unlike every other game in the driver.

If you've got past the Logic Door error and it still won't take coins, you probably haven't set up the game yet.

I have attached the NVRAM anyway with the game set up and working. When the logic door error comes up, just insert coins and it should clear itself. It's a cheap "hack" to get past an error, but it's better than giving it GNW for the time being, as the game works flawlessly.

    Added new game Caribbean Gold (cgold), however it is not a straight swap as it has slightly different input locations:
     - With unmodified 0.148 source, game complains about logic door being open, which is seemingly tied to the current coin input.
     - When HOPCO2 is toggled off/on quickly (default is on otherwise it will cause a note acceptor error), the note acceptor works, adding 4 credits ($1?) - this is seemingly a quarter slot (25c). Not sure if other notes are possible.
     - Same gameplay as Gone Troppo, one interesting thing about this game is that the KQJ symbols have actual faces instead of plain letters.

Edit: One thing, before you make a video, enter the DIP menu and change the two SW7 switches to off/off or else the game won't load the correct graphics for the second screen bonus (as with its "clones" cgold2 and gtroppo as well - I can't confirm if the real machine does this or not, but off/off should probably be default in the driver anyway).
