Hey there,
I have a Mario Bros. widebody that has been running fine. I have the default DIP switch settings, A-G are OFF, H is ON. According to the manual that should give you a free guy at 20,000.
I've been playing this for a couple of years now and get a free guy at every 20k interval - 40k, 60k, 80k, etc....
I just installed the high score save kit, and now I only get a free guy at 20k and no more.
I ran this by Scott Brasington and he's looking into it. When I play in MAME with the same settings it does the same thing - a free guy ONLY at 20K.
1. Is it normal for Mario Bros. with my DIP switch settings to only give a single free guy per game regardless of your score?
2. If yes to #1, does anyone have any idea why mine gave one in 20K increments? Possibly a ROM hack of some kind?
