Trying to understand my own problem.

[RobneyBadMan]

Hi all,

As the title states, I’m trying to understand my own problem & how to start solving it.

Ok so the issue is I saved a physical Barcrest Take It Or Leave It machine from being binned because it didn’t turn on. After a few checks I’m quite sure it’s had its software erased. By software I mean ROM I think?

So the thing I’m trying to understand is, are the ROMs used for emulation & actual physical machines the same? I realise that may not be a simple question to answer but even a simple yes or no answer would be helpful to me .
 

I’ve done quite a lot of searching for the ROM I require to try & bring the machine back to life but knowing Barcrest no longer exist I know the hunt may go on for a while.

 

Another question I have is, all the ROMs for Barcrest machines must still exist somewhere, like with ex engineers or archived in a ROM vault . Is there an on going search for folders full of ROMs that I should be searching for or is it more a case of knowing the right people, asking nicely or purchasing the files needed? 
 

I probably sound like a donkey asking those questions but understanding those bits would really help me.

 

I’ve attached a picture of the machine so you can see how sad it looks. I’ve tried to make it comfortable.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob.

Yes the roms are the same the emulated ones are copied from a real psychical machine

Get someone to burn a set then swap them out if it works great if not it's something else

I suspect we have the ROMs but someone such as @logopolis or @Geddy or @johnparker007 will know for sure.

They can probably point you in the direction of someone who can burn a set for you, I expect for a small charge.

We definitely have the roms for this. They are MPU6 but it's basically a clone of Count Ya Cash which we have MPU5 roms for.

Hi all & sorry for the delay, I’ve been working.

 

Thank you so much for all your replies, I’m blown away with all your help.

 

I had a feeling the ROMs used for emulations may be the same ones but thank you for clarifying that. It makes sense as I’m sure they were designed on a computer in the first place & shown on a screen. Smiling laughing embarrassed face.

Thank you so much for your swift reply!

That’s excellent & helped me a lot thank you.

Thank you so much sir! You were mentioned above & then came to my aid. It’s very much appreciated & I shall give it a go. 
 

I think it is an MPU6 module in the back of the machine I have. So when a machine is cloned do they just use all the same coding? I may have misunderstood the cloning thing. Grimmacing smiley head.

 

my emojis don’t work. Soz.

Let us know if it works

You need to put the uploaded file (ABOVE) onto a USB stick and install onto the MPU 6. I would suspect TLNP0_4.BIN or TILI0_2.BIN would be your best bet for a home use machine (as it's bog standard and not going to require data packs or be arcade software)
