NSM Satellite 200 Free Play Help
Hello all,
I'm not sure how much this group is read, but I need to start somewhere... I picked up a fully working NSM Satellite 200 last weekend. It seems to be a great juke and I love the light organ built into it. I would like to program it for free play. I have the manual, here is what I've done, but does not seem to work; Enter P10 Changed the max credits to 254 as the manual says for free play Close the cover. I go back into P10 and check the setting and it shows 254 credits, but in the credit display I'm seeing the number of credits that happened to be on the box at the time of programming. Playing a song results in the credit counter dropping. When credits reach 0, I can not select any additional songs. So, I've managed to changed the P10 - free play - setting to 254 credits but it seems to not have put the juke into free play. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong here? TIA Tom |

TIA Tom Hi Tom, As I recall setting these on Free Play also requires the key switch on the machine to be in the correct position. If that doesn't help email me tomorrow and I'll check my NSM manual at the shop. John :-#)# PS. Found a cute fix for noise on the Computer Space score/time display - you may see (at least on the single player version) artifacts of the display above showing up faintly in the digits directly below. Usually a thin white line that may make a 3 look a bit like a nine or an eight. The cure is adding a 250pf cap on pin 8 of C5 on the innermost board. I'll post pictures in the next couple of days. -- (Please post followups or tech enquiries to the newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd. 2343 Main St., Vancouver, BC, Canada V5T 3C9 Call (604)872-5757 or Fax 872-2010 (Pinballs, Jukes, Video Games) www.flippers.com "Old pinballers never die, they just flip out." |

Hello John, Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I understand about a 'key switch' on the juke. Can you elaborate about that? I don't have any actual keys, but I was able to get into the programming mode on the computer using the default code - thank goodness someone didn't change it. I am also interested in seeing what you've found on the computer space note you mentioned. Thanks! Tom |

Tom Hi Tom, Checked my notes and found this info on Free Play: Setting #23 to 201 means the machine clears the free play setting when it is powered off/on. Setting #23 to 200 seems to allow you to select permanent free play by putting "99" on the credits - probably can clear that somehow... The key switch locks out the Free Play button on the remote - if the switch is horizontal the Free Play button is inactive, if vertical then the Free Play switch works on the wired remote.

If your setting are forgotten overnight or after a few days/weeks the have you checked the battery backup IC? These go bad over time and either you open them up and replace the lithium cell or you find the same part somewhere. If you want to open it, read up on the process by doing some online searching. Something like "replace battery XYZ ic" should work...

NSM Satellite 200 Free Play Help
Hi John thanks for the info, I think this is a programming issue I set the juke in p10 to 255 as per manual close the lid but the free play dose not register the book said 255 will add unlimited free play and will not count down but unfortunately it just doesn't work.
Cheers Glyn |
