How to hack a normal arcade machine

(1/2) > >>

XPelargos:
Hi there everyone.  I just joined this forum to ask a couple of questions.

I just started college and we've got a couple of arcade machines in the common room, and the Tekken 3 machine is a lot of fun.  However, since students are already paying high tuition, the students and the RA agree that the machine should be free or make one quarter buy a lot of plays.  I would also like to change the round limit from 3 to 5. 

Is there someway to access the machine's BIOS to change the round limit and how much a quarter can buy?  If there is, please respond and thank you very much.

One thing to consider is that the college probably doesn't own that game. Your not stealing from the college as much as your stealing from some guy who provides the games and maintenance of those games.  That guy probably has a family and he's probably trying to save some money so his kids can go to college. You should be grateful that you are fortunate to even have games available to play while your receiving a higher education.

This is a sad commentary on America's youth and where it's headed.

Agreed, you should be glad they have an arcade at all.  Most colleges are doing away with them, or letting them deteriorate to the point that they are no longer even worth visiting.

If you want to hack up an arcade, do whatever else does here; build your own, or go buy one.  Then you can legally hack it up all you feel like.

Let's not jump to conclusions. We don't know who owns or opperates the machine.

The person with the key to the machine has access to the machine's operator settings. Find that person and state your case to him. Most likely they have their reasons for setting the game they way it is (such as, why mess with it if people are putting quarters into it?)
