Summary	03134: norautp: "Low" getting selected when you press "Half gamble"
Description	A bug in "noraut poker" when you get a win it goes into the gamble screen where you select Hi or Low. But Low is allready selected for you upon entering the screen. This happens the first time you get a win but does not happen again in the same game session. Also when you press "Half gamble" it takes one credit but somehow Low is also selected. this happens everytime you get a win.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information	In some versions of noraut poker when you press "Half gamble" it automatically halves the amount you are betting as "norautpn" does, but other versions when you press "half gamble" it will take 1 credit from the bet amount each time you press it. letting you select the amount you want to bet this seems to be the way noratp should work. (my own noraut boards work this way) The color in noraut should be yellow not green i changed line 222 in norautp.c to palette_set_color(machine, 1, MAKE_RGB(0xff, 0xff, 0x00)); /* white? */ and all looks 100%. images of noraut with yellow here: http://profile.imageshack.us/user/boochip/

No.04311 Agriffin Tester May 4, 2009, 00:47	Just burned "joker.bin" from "norautp" to an eprom and tried it in my noraut cabinet. it plays the same on the cabinet as it does in mame bugs and all. Setting Dip 2 to ON puts it in to hopper mode and it plays fine. setting it to OFF /credit mode all the problems start on cabinet and mame. this seems odd as norautpn and my own version of noraut work fine in hopper or credit mode in cabinet. Is it possible "joker.bin" is somehow damaged OR norautpn and my board run on slightly hardware to norautp.
No.04312 Haze Senior Tester May 4, 2009, 01:01	the set is probably buggy and only designed to work in one mode. there are a few gambling games like that.
No.04313 etabeta Developer May 4, 2009, 06:38	shall we set this as a BTANB?
No.04314 Haze Senior Tester May 4, 2009, 10:18	yes, btw, for the original reporter, if you have a set which isn't supported in MAME it should be added. You didn't say if your original set was a 100% match.
No.04316 Agriffin Tester May 4, 2009, 14:30	My set set isn't supported in MAME at the moment and is not the same as the other two and hopefully it can be added soon. Both my boards are having problems at the moment and the roms are displaying the same behavior when added to mame as the do in the cabinet. I am hoping to get my hands on a known working board in the next few days so i can compare files from eproms.
No.04317 Haze Senior Tester May 4, 2009, 20:54	what behavior is that? if you can contact mamedev via the submisison form and send what you've read from your pcb then it's possible the driver author could throw some light onto what's happening .
No.04319 Agriffin Tester May 5, 2009, 15:53	Ok haze will send files to mamedev. The behavior would be had two boards one workin one not swapped some ics from workin board to none workin one with no joy, i put ics back to workin board but all that was displayed was F U in the centre of the screen. putting files from 27c64 into mame also gives me the blue screen with F U on pc. Burning files from noratp or norautpn do work on the board. Anyway will send files to mamedev got a dump yesterday from a working board (100% match my own). See can you gurus see what FU is all about :).
No.04320 Agriffin Tester May 5, 2009, 15:57	ICS swapped into non workin board and back again were 1 x tmpz84, 3 x 8255 ,2x 6116 , 2764 ,2732, and gal 16v8b. Incase it helps figure out why mame gives FU aswell.

It sounds like some 'protection' as well as forcing you to initialize the machine properly. Pasting it here for future reference anyway, incase people have problems with these " Notes: - norautjp: at the first start-up, the game will give you a very clever "FU" screen. Press the following buttons together on different times to get rid of it (and actually initialize the machine): * start + bet buttons (1+2); * Hold 3 + Hold 2 + Save (Half Gamble) + Change Card (C+X+F+D) Also notice that you actually need to map the last four buttons on the same button / on a joypad since MAME's steady key doesn't seem to work on my end... "
No.04323 Kale Developer May 5, 2009, 18:32	I've just added your set, notice that the "FU" appears simply because it needs to be initialized (like several other gambling games), here's the note putted on the current driver: - norautjp: at the first start-up, the game will give you a very clever "FU" screen. Press the following buttons together on different times to get rid of it (and actually initialize the machine): * start + bet buttons (1+2); * Hold 3 + Hold 2 + Save (Half Gamble) + Change Card (C+X+F+D) Also notice that you actually need to map the last four buttons on the same button / on a joypad since MAME's steady key doesn't seem to work on my end...

No.05896 Agriffin Tester Mar 20, 2010, 16:09	Can be closed as problem is rom related not mame. i have a working version of this rom that i'll be passing along.
