I confirmed the game freezes randomly. In my case, the game stopped when I tried to draw cards, then I reset the game and tried to draw cards with the 1 key, it freezes again. |

(Haze) > if you look in WRITE8_MEMBER(igspoker_state::custom_io_w) there is a basic protection simulation (which could really just be returning data from a fixed table, the first returns are the letters IGS, which is not uncommon) maybe some values are missing for those games. Above Haze gave the hint of where the problem is and actually although they are similar the games in this series are not the same and do not use the same table, so the freezing occurs. You must map the correct values and implement the tables correctly for these games. At the moment they should be labeled "No working". |

In some tests it is possible to note that the locking occurs only when the appearance of a pair of high cards of the same color (J-Q-K-A) |

Ufff.... There are multiple instances with protection routines. I'm working on them, but... Were these games working properly before, or just locked since begining? at least cpokerx and cpoker101 also locks (and have wrong lamps)... Could anyone help checking which sets locks and which ones not, so I can focus just to unprotect them? |

I know that cpoker101 is MNW, but also with cpoker300us could be treated since they have the same protection type, and I can work it. So, I need testing these, and if also cpoker300us locks... |

I played cpoker300us for 30 coins and couldn't lock it. |

I also tried cpoker300us without locks, but this set also has all the protection code routines too, so I expected get stuck at some point... Anyway... Will try to commit a workaround for at least the two first sets, since they are related to this report. Once fully checked, will see for the remaining sets to append, or just will open a new report. |

They have always been freezing. Cpoker, cpokerx and cpokert freeze during the game. |

Ok... Seems that all sets have these evil prots in different offsets doing basically the same. Will do the first two games and let you know... |

Done... Try these three sets with the new commit. Please test them, and the other sets to see how behave... |

The whole set now seems to work well, with no freezes or visible issues that hinder gameplay. (I also tested with standard nvram and there were no problems either) |

There are other evil prot instances where the code doesn't seems to reach. This is why I asked to test them exhaustively. And the remaining sets?... Could someone confirm? |

> (I also tested with standard nvram and there were no problems either) What NVRAM?... These games currently haven't NVRAM support. I will investigate where is the problem adding it, since all thes protection scheme is pointing to some hardcoded registers in the original NVRAM. |

So far there has been no freezing. As for the cited nvram, I implemented support in my build to test how it behaved and also more easily manipulate higher values in counters to test for possible crashes. I couldn't hit more significant prizes like royal flush or five jokers to make sure they don't lead to freezing. |
