Would you be able to provide a few photos of the board, EPROM labels, switches etc? There are never enough photos, especially for the older games that have been long gone.

Coincidentally, I was testing the exact same game in MAME last night, where MAME has had a problem for years where the machine would refuse to enter the menu or do anything else at all the if one of the DIP switches wasn't set.

I assume your game looks something like this...

[rayray11ss]

yes that is the machine what dip switchs should ichange thank you

[Heihachi_73]

MAME says 5201-5 (switch 5) causes this game to freeze but "5201" seems to correspond to a memory region inside the game data rather than a switch on the board. MAME's documentation of these machines is almost nonexistent unfortunately, a lot of the MK4 games in MAME were acquired as just the EPROM chips without any boards to test, and the service manuals used for documentation seem to be for either the older MK2.5 machines or possibly the Australian versions.

That said, the game won't respond to anything if there is an error either so I don't think the dip switch is the problem. Even having the main door open is enough for the game to not want to enter the audit menu. What happens if you run the machine without the bill acceptor?

yes the machine takes nickles coins and works fine the bill acceptor worked fine for years till i got hopper remover tilt i was thinking the cash can because on the bazel  said jam inbox how do i trouble shoot box thank you for answerig me
