Summary	02154: ckongg: Coinage settings are wrong.
Description	The Coinage settings in the Dip Switches menu are wrong. For 1x Coin you get 2x Credits and if you set Coinage to 2x Coins you get 4x Credits. So the inputs must be changed from: PORT_DIPNAME( 0xc0, 0x00, DEF_STR( Coinage ) ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x40, DEF_STR( 2C_1C ) ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x00, DEF_STR( 1C_1C ) ) to PORT_DIPNAME( 0xc0, 0x00, DEF_STR( Coinage ) ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x40, DEF_STR( 2C_4C ) ) PORT_DIPSETTING( 0x00, DEF_STR( 1C_2C ) ) Also, if you set the 'Unused' dip to 'ON' in the Dip Switches menu, you get another game coinage. Then you must put in 3x Coins to start a game (see screenshots -> Normal and Unused-On ).

No.02188 etabeta Developer Aug 23, 2008, 12:36	the problem is twofold: * on one hand, the coinage settings shown at screen don't correspond in any way to the game behaviour. this is probably due to the fact that ckong was not programmed to run on galaxian hw. it would be nice to have the behavior confirmed, but it's not a bug in my opinion; * on the other hand, current coinage settings are wrong and the 'unused' dip is not unused. for the second point I'll submit a patch soon.

EDITED to reflect more precse findings from Fujix.
