I've got a Golden Axe that I am ready to put on location, but see that the max credits you can coin it up to is 9? I suppose it is possible some drunk folks will try to put more coins in than it can give credits for, and there's really no way to stop people from doing this. None of the documentation seems to mention the 9 credit limit. Is anybody aware if there is a way to make it allow credits to exceed 9?
 
A lot of cabinets didn't have coin lockout after the mid-80s. This one certainly does not. Even if the coin door was set up for this, the game PCB needs to have output to control those lockout coils programmatically, which it also does not... as far as I can tell.

It's not a huge show stopper. I was thinking aside from the dip switches which don't seem to change the 9 credits thing, maybe there was a jumper on the board set or an alternate rom that could change this setting.

Guess I will just keep an eye on the bookkeeping for the next little while to see if this is a common scenario.
 
Does the game register the 10th credit? Ie if there are 9 credits and you start a game (using 1 credit), does it show 8 credits or 9?
