I just retrieved my Black Hole I had in storage for a few years and strangely the game 2716 EPROM had died. So I programmed a replacement with 688/4 code presuming it was a bug fix version (my original was 688/2 code).
Does anyone know what the difference between the game codes are?
I might be answering the question, but something that feels different is when you manage to open the side gate on the upper playfield, as soon as you hit some low score item the gate closes.
I seem to remember the gate would stay open until you either used it or lost the ball elsewhere but it's been so long I can't remember 100%.
Can anyone with a Black hole comment? My ROM programmer is currently out of action so I can't downgrade the code to check atm.
Secondly, my machine is missing the metal stand(s) that hold up the playfield for servicing. Could someone tell me how long they should be from the centre of the screw hole to the tip so I can make some up?
Many thanks in advance.
