Hi All,

I just got a WMMT1/2 card reader and got it hooked up to my WMMT2 cabinet. Curious on behavior for those that know - there is a small switch that is triggered by the card holder being empty that gives a message of "new cards cannot be given out" or something like that on the attract screen.

It seems like this isn't "real time" - as in, if I start the game with the card holder installed and with cards, but remove it after the game has started - it doesn't detect that the switch is now opposite and flash the message up. I have to go into the menu and go to Card Test->Test Card Dispenser for the state to change.

Is this expected behavior?

Matt

Just in case someone else asks this question.... the card reader isn't constantly communicating to the board - so only at certain times does it send a message "new cards are gone" - and I think primarily only when it dispenses a card is there a window where it can say if there are more cards left...
