Is this setting the one called "Buy In" in the Tron manual? (If not, what does Buy In mean?)

I cannot find a mention of the Allows Continues setting in the manual and am interested in turning this on in my Tron.

I can start playing with the switches, but I figured I'd ask as someone may know...

Thanks!!
 
In my experience Tron will only let you continue if you don't win an extra life (10,000 points) or you have a really low score. There is no way a guy in continuing if he has 40,000 or anything like that.
 
per the manual the buy in is switch 3 on the dip switch at b3 on the ssio board. i only tried it once on my game. iirc, you lose your score and restart where you died, with 3 guys and a 0 score.
 
Yeah, I agree, it's a dipswitch setting, not one in setup mode within the game. I don't believe the continue option has anything to do with your score either. It lets you continue until you get to the 4th level (Fortran).

So then it sounds as if the dip switch for buy-in is in fact the "continues" setting.

I assume it still work if the machine is set to the default difficulty of 5....I got a bit confused on the last post that mentioned level 4 Fortran....

Each level has a name of a computer language. 1 is RPG, 2 is Cobol, 3 is Basic, 4 is Fortran, 5 is Snobol, 6 is PL1, 7 is Pascal, 8 is Algol, 9 is Assembly, 10 is OS, 11 is JCL, 12 and above is User. So you can actually see what level each entry in the high score table got to, assuming it's not 12 or above :D
