The new Kangaroo Freeplay ROMs have the following features:
  • The INSERT COINS prompt is removed from Attract Mode
  • Instead of CREDIT = 00 it shows  FREEPLAY, so you know it's in Freeplay
  • Walk up to game and press 1 or 2 player start, no need for coins
  • Attract mode runs, game will not freeze on the Press 1 or 2 player screen
  • New Freeplay ROMs use same DIP setting as the faulty Freeplay mode.

 

 

There's not much going on in the Kangaroo code, but here is a snipet anyway.
