No.02998 dyq Tester Nov 5, 2008, 15:22	It is not a bug, for early Dynax Mahjong games they always do the same.
No.02999 Fujix Administrator Nov 5, 2008, 15:29	Set as BTANB.
No.03001 nightsoil Tester Nov 6, 2008, 12:31	Is it only the dora indicator that is not counted towards the total of 4 for each tile, or could I, for example, have 5 of the same tile in my hand?
No.03150 nightsoil Tester Nov 29, 2008, 06:12 edited on: Nov 29, 2008, 06:12	I don't think it's just "early" Dynax mahjong games: my second example is from 1998.
No.03151 Fujix Administrator Nov 29, 2008, 08:10	In general maajan rule, there are 4 tiles per each picture. Dora indicator is chosen from "undealt" wall tiles, therefore 5 tiles never appear.
No.03154 nightsoil Tester Nov 29, 2008, 16:00	I am aware that that is how it works when playing mahjong with the sort of tiles you can hold in your hand, as opposed to playing on a computer. What I meant to ask is this: in these Dynax games, can five of the same tile appear, not counting dora indicators? For instance, if I see two "east" tiles in my opponent's discards, then if I throw (Japanese: kiru) another "east" tile, can I be sure that my opponent will not then say "pon"?
No.03170 Fujix Administrator Nov 30, 2008, 02:56	Yes, that is the problem. Usually if the opponent discarded two tiles, the tile should be "safe". No more Pon nor Ron (it will be a violation). I'll ask the driver author about it.
No.03604 Fujix Administrator Jan 17, 2009, 20:42	I asked the driver author about this, and 99.9% an original bug, 0.1% a Z80 bug.
