Title: No sound for Lobstermania Post by: mark1120 on May 13, 2013, 12:57:20 AM I recently bought "Lobstermania" from a vendor and the game is not making any sound. I’ve had problems with software from this vendor and am wondering if the board I received has the proper eproms and cards. I’ve communicated the lack of sound to the vendor but have been unable to get a response in over a month.
The base eprom has a handwritten "Base 749" sticker. The game eproms have handwritten "Game 2 1027" and "Game 1 1027" stickers. The card closest to the base eprom is SNDF….DSS00137. The middle card is PXLF....2 of 2.....C0000598. The card furthest from the base eprom is PXLF3....2 of 2....C0001099 The horizontal card is SNDF….DSS00137. Does anyone have any thoughts on why I’m not getting any sound? I apologize for setting the camera down near the end of this brief video so that I can pull up the menu and show that the volume settings were not set to low or mute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb80j6Doe4I (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb80j6Doe4I) Thanks for your help!

Now I'm not going to say the set I have is the only one made, cause I don't know. That said the set I have has the same base chip and game chips you have. BUT it also has (1) CGF simm (3) PXL simms, and (1) sound simm. I have about 95 I games and I have never seen a game that the CGF simm and the PXL simms have a different number. Now this is what I have. Base eprom I0000749
Game eprom (2) G0001027 CGF simm C0000711 PLF simm (3) C0000711 Sound simm DSS00138 I'm assuming you have a 3902 board. If so the DSS (sound ) simm goes on a MM II sound board, the same sound board that goes on a S 2000. The CGF simm is a little larger than a sound/PXL simm and lays flat directly below the MM II sound board. PXL simms stand upright located between the Base eprom and the two Game eproms. Title: Re: No sound for Lobstermania Post by: Buzz on May 13, 2013, 01:56:24 AM I just did a little bit more research and C0000598 is suppose to be for Buffet Mania :103- :103-
From what you posted I"m trying to figure out how this game is even working. Maybe, just maybe the seller programed the correct files on used simms and didn't make new labels. Title: Re: No sound for Lobstermania Post by: mark1120 on May 13, 2013, 02:25:39 AM Buzz, thanks for taking the time to post some replies. Attached is a picture of the 3 cards that were installed on this board. I suppose its always possible he copied other files onto these cards. I worry I may have a big mess as you suggest. I paid for 12 games in late March, have received 7 to date in 3 separate shipments, and have had issues like this with all but 2 of them.
Title: Re: No sound for Lobstermania Post by: Buzz on May 13, 2013, 02:53:36 AM Mark I was just reading your thread on Price Check and The numbers you posted the game would never play. The way simms are numbered the CGF is 1 of ?, then next would be PXL3 2 of ?, PXL4 3 of ? and PXL5 4 of 4. Some games only use one PXL simm so CGF is 1 of 2 and the PXL simm will be 2 of 2
Mark I've got a hunch that you haven't found the CGF simm, you have to remove the sound board in order to see it. If you want send me the game set and I can Naa scratch that your game sets are all OK because the game plays, I can send you sound simms for the three game that's screwing with you and see if they make a difference. |
