Astra Games Party Time Deluxe (2000s) not working

[KyleShorthouse]

Not sure if this is something i'm doing or not so forgive me if i am doing something wrong i'm pretty new to this.

I've obtained the ROMs (.gam and .fml files) needed for Party Time Deluxe and have started the top box and first player cabinet. For some reason when booting them up the top box boots fine but the first player cabinet doesn't and says 7.4 bad terrn (I think its a bit difficult to make out) ID. When checking the config for the network ID i can see that the top box is Slave 1 and the player 1 cabinet is Slave 2 but i can't seem to change this. I'm currently running MFME V6 on Windows 10. Strangely on MFME V5 i can get the network IDs to the correct options (top box being master and player 1 being Slave 1) but they won't connect due to a lack of linking ability in that version (as far as a i can tell).

I'm aware both versions are quite old however these are the only versions i have available currently due to being a new member here.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

They are designed to work in 19.8 or 20.1. That’s the fix bud, you’ll get more downloads on a rolling basis until you decide to donate for unlimited that’s the way it is made for everyone.

Thanks vectra i'll await to hear from you.

@woodsy i have updated to V20 (Beta?) which has fixed the top box now showing as master but the player one cabinet is still slave 2. Let's see what comes back from vectra and we will go from there.

Thanks again for your help guys.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the assistance on this. @vectra666 i believe i've found the fix you mentioned on dadsfme. If i'm right in saying the fix you've mentioned was to edit the slave machines with the ID Detect set to Reel4 save it and reboot and link it. That seems to have done the trick.

I feel a bit silly now for not checking that on Dadsfme before posting this here but thats hindsight. All seems to be working now thanks again guys for your quick responses and assistance appreciate it.
