codes

Anyone know any of these codes where u press the hold buttons in a certain order quickly and the machine seems to freeze up. It's not a barcode or anything, you can do it anytime and without any credits in the machine.

It's a bit of a pointless thread and I doubt whether it affects the machine in anyway but it seems a bit silly for it to b there for no reason. The ones that spring to mind are homer's meltdown and hi spirits by global, they're the two I know the code for, and the code is the same for both.

Just thought I'd see about this as there was some discussion on another forum about them.

can you do anything once the machine is frozen?

There was the old reset programme code, where it acted like a hard-reboot on the machine.

1-2-3-2-3-2-3-1-3 reset the machine, nothing special was just there for a quick reboot without plugging.

Most of the other codes are only accessible with the refill key in or cash door open, dependant on machine.

There's nothing special with the codes really.

And if your mate ever says 'press 1-2-3-2-1-3-3-3-2-3-2-1' for jackpot, they're lieing

Never really tried to be honest. On hi spirits for example, when the code is typed in, the two trails that lead to top feature freeze and then one cash amount and one feature light up. As if the m/c froze while it was on the board. It stays frozen for around 15 seconds and then comes back on.

That's the code I was refering to DannyC, I thought it was just a simple reset but wasn't sure.

Why has this code been put in the programme tho? Seems a bit strange for it just to be there so it can b rebooted without switching off. Another one I can think of is on a very old version of monopoly, £6 token JP. It used to do it on that as well. Classic machine!

As far as I know it doesn't affect the machine in anyway, apart from resetting the software side.

The code was primarily put in for engineers for a hard-reboot, in which the machine is shut down and rebooted in a 'safer' way on the software side.

This code was not implimented on mpu5 mcs, only works on mpu4 and earlier.

Agreed on monoploly easy JP

erm u could hold buttons on barcrests for the "follow me" barcode to get an easy jackpot - but it looks a bit dodgy.. u want to look like an idiot when playing ideally remember...

also holding all the buttons on jurassic pork [machine would freeze up for a few secs and spin in a jacker] was always a good jp steal wasn't it

reset codes etc are old news and booring...

lets not forget supercharged and tbird[again - the machine would freeze up for a loong few secs and spin in a jacker] , those 'unexpected or unhandled' button combos were great earners.
