      Hey, does anybody even know about this game? It seems to be fairly obscure.

      It runs fine using FBneo, but it requires 4 coins for 1 credit. There are two dip switch settings found through 'options' in RGUI: either 4 coins/credit, or 5 c/c. There is a 'Coin B' setting that states 1 coin/credit, but both of my coin buttons seem to register as 'Coin A' regardless.

      The dipswitch settings on arcaderestoration do mention other possible settings for Coin A, but maybe those are just not supported in FBneo? Not a big deal, really, but I was wondering if this is just the state of emulation on this particular game, or am I missing something else, option-wise?

        Wow, this got buried fast... Still hoping someone like @barbudreadmon could give a little insight. Sorry for the slightly unwarranted tag, don't know any other FBneo dev.

          @WeirdH oops, thanks for the report, should be fixed (1c/1c is now a choice for coin A)

            Yeah i know about it as i bought one of the extremely rare pcb's and had it sent to the dumping union so that it could be preserved in MAME / FBN
            unlike others i dont seek to make money from the emulation of classic games quite the opposite really :)

            It's a sort of follow up to Mustache Boy it shares the same gameplay mechanics at least as Seibu were involved in both games.

              Thanks for the quick fix. Behaviour is still a bit iffy, though: 1c/1c still requires two 'coins' per credit. Other settings are also weird, for example 1c/5c behaves the same as 5c/1c.

              That is awesome, you have my gratitude at least. And hey, it's only money.

                That's weird, i have the right behavior here.

                  @barbudreadmon Hm, weird indeed. I only updated FBneo package (from source). Does anything else need updating as well?

                      @WeirdH ok, actually i missed the second part of the issue (weirdly it wasn't causing any problem here), it should be ok now

                        @barbudreadmon More weirdness: I normally only use the arcade folder, so as a test I copied the rom from there to my fba folder and it worked as intended. I then moved it back to the arcade folder and it now works as it should... So problem solved, I guess.
