Anyone have the recent Qbert multi kit? If so, how do you get the freeplay settings to save after getting all games set to freeplay? I set them all to freeplay, and try to find a button that will save them, but there doesn't seem to be one. So I switch out of test mode, try to play a game and it still says insert coin. This is getting frustrating. Can I just flip a dipswitch on the board instead of failing with the set-up menu?
 
I am going off of memory, but I think you have to select each individual game and select freeplay for each. Then you have to exit at the bottom of the menu in order for it to save.
Again, this is off of memory since I did it a few months ago when I first installed it.

Turn the test swtich off and you will get to my dipswitch menu. There's a seperate page for each game. The dips are labeled with a general label for convenience, the dips are the same as the original game. There's also a page for the entire multigame. It doesn't actually store values from this menu. Selecting an item here runs through all the menu's turning the appropriate dips off or on. A row of zeros will flash to indicate that you have selected an item. Don't forget to select the exit when you are done to store the values you have selected.

You probably already read this, but it is an excerpt from:

Its like what this guy says.
It has to do with the nvram I think. it needs to write and read for each game, so you have to set free play for each, then exit properly so it writes it.

I can check once I get home, but Im sure thats how it works, you need to make your changes, then exit.

I am using the test switch inside the coindoor BTB. I see no way to 'exit' each screen, other than to push player 2 to advance to the next game, which I have done every time.
 
Doesn't holding the P1&P2 buttons down save the settings and exit? I know this is what you have to do to get your scores to save -- maybe the same is true for the settings too.

I thought at the bottom of the settings screen for each game there is an "exit" printed at the bottom. I don't remember if you have to use the P1&P2 buttons to select it or if its the select button inside the coin door. I'll have to look when I get home, but I am sure one of the other guys will beat me to it.

I still cannot get mine to save any high scores. I just learned to live with it. Look on the bright side. Yours does that!
