Space Duel free play hack??
- Thread starter Robran68
- Start date
Yeah, I'm not particularly worried about burn-in... I just think free play games without attract mode aren't as cool (and those that start themselves suck... ehem Outrun ;-) ), and hope to make all my games have a proper attract mode in free play. I hacked the rest of my games to have free play, but most were really quick hacks just to get ready for a party, so the attract mode isn't active on most.

This is so true I think more people would play co-op if they had an attract mod showing same

Plus Space Duel attract mode is pretty darn cool!
It's one that I enjoy watching.

Thanks for pointing that out about Outrun - I honestly thought I had some wiring wrong in the game that was causing the Start button to fire!!

Hey, thanx for bringing my thread back from the dead! 
Hope this can be done, yes it's not about screen burn it's about the stupid 4 squares just sitting there...not very appealing for anyone not knowing the game.

And the ships attacking the Space Duel name is awesome.

I also want this done. But I will say that the screen burn on my Space Duel was evidence that the attract mode has a purpose as well. Mine had been on free play for a couple of years and the "Select" screen was burned in much more than the "Space Duel" from the attract screen from 20+ years of previous use.

So where are we with the hack? I would love for mine to have attract mode as well...

If it helps anyone, I rigged up my coin reject to add credits. I have done that on a few games without a nice freeplay mode. DOT, TRON, Space Duel, Pole Position. I just use a cheap momentary pushbutton from Radio Shack.

Just grab a CoinUp-1up and have freeplay for any of your games

To a space duel specifically or do you mean any game?
The manual shows how to hook it up if that's what you're wondering about:

The manual doesn't seem to clearly indicate (to me at least) where to splice in the wires?... Is it as simple as just adding the 4 extra wires?
I got tired of this and spent a little time hacking it this weekend... I posted the hack in this thread: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?p=1507561 .
Let me know if it works/doesn't work for you.

Awesome! thanks!
I don't have the means to burn a chip, but if you guys that can burn and test this and it works, please let me know, I would love to add this hack!!

Yep.. just add 4 wires. The simplest place to splice them in is at the button/coin switch itself. That way you can locate the CoinUp towards the front of the cab and your wires aren't 10ft long.
But you could splice a wire anywhere it's easiest. Beginning, end... or anywhere in the middle.
