Title: Game Maker in Demo mode plays all games
Post by: Stumped1 on August 09, 2022, 06:32:39 PM
Hello all, took a few hours to mess with my Game Maker. I eventually got all the errors corrected. Yay! The bill collector and the hopper are in working order. A few more tweaks and I'll have it. It's in demo mode I think I need to debug it. Hmm what do you think?

To get gamemaker out of demo mode, open door, turn key, 
Go to terminal ID (menu on far right)
Type 1111111111111
Enter

Did you say your hopper and/coin validator work?
I don’t see demo mode showing on your screen.

Yes, I know all the door lights ha e to be clear, the bill collector and the coin validater all have to have no errors for the machine to fully operate or function. I have all the reset info. Ive repeated it over and over. But I do t give up easily. Just have limited time. I'll try the 111111 and see if this will work. So far I think on the rights track. I'll eventually get there. Thank you for all your help

Also, for now and future: please don't combine two machines on one post. Otherwise things get REALLY confusing, especially for the members trying to help. This forum is designed to help you fix your machine, with the help of our great members.
It's highly recommended you read through and/or search on the forum as it's highly likely your problem has come up before and that the answer is there.  :yes:

Duly noted. I kinda figure that once I did. Thank.you for the info. I've read thru most of the issues and problems. I'm wondering if the chips I ha e are demos too. Whomever owned this before changed things and I think they got stuck on how to reset it. They changed chips. So I may check into that next. Thank you. I can remove the other machine photos

I do not think there are “demo” chips. It wouldn’t make sense considering the Gamemaker has a demo mode. I could be wrong but I have never seen a demo chip.
If the game is accepting and paying coins I don’t think it is in demo mode. It would show on the main menu where all the games are displayed.

When mine is in demo mode coins drop right back into the front tray.

It's not accepting bills or coins. But the acceptor work. I tested them in the diagnostics. They ran their process. Anyway, ill read and work on it this Sunday. Someone had some demo chips someone on this site noticed it on the chips. That's why I was wondering. Thanks much. Appreciated

Gotcha. If you have not done the 1111111111 terminal ID, then it is in demo mode, I don’t think there is any question.
When I ask if the coin mech and BV work I meant do they work to register credit and play the game. Demo mode does not change how they behave when running diagnostics.

When running the diagnostics I didn't try to put the coins or the bills in it. Hmm interesting. I will try this. I do recall the bill Collectors light come on. It was a red circle with a red line across it. Bit when I have a chance I will definitely try it. Thank you for explaining this to me. Sorry if I sounded rude it wasn't my intention. I do appreciate your help and any/ all information and help. Thanks

No worries. What you are describing is precisely how the game behaves in demo mode. 11111111111 should definitely fix that up.

Ok. I have limted time. But some chips came into the mail. Lmbo..nope they are universal and all V's won't work in my Game Maker. Good news tho. I took out a chip, replaced it with a chip that wasn't compatible..crazy I know but I learn. Anyway, when I started the machine. Closed it up, left the wrong chip in, it went out of Game Mode and works perfect. However, it only has 9 games now. Lol. The hopper pays out as it should. Feeling pretty damned good! I have to enable the bill acceptor. Later when I have more time.
