Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters

I want to play all the game "Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters"
It is not possible to load more then 25 coins, play more that 10 games at row until end. ONLY.
Not allow to continue, game ends.
ROM Atari: eprom.zip for Set1 and eprom2.zip for Set2. Both are the same for that problem.
No dip switches possible.

If anybody could help to solve that?

Those don't seem like issues that would crop up in emulation.
I checked the Service/Test mode and there is a setting which allows increasing of the setting for number of continues as well as a "FREE PLAY", if desired. You need to hit F2 to enter Service mode and after a long period of testing you are presented with an Control Test screen. Simply hit the button(s) as prompted to advance to the next screen (usually ALT or CTRL+ALT). Use arrows to select/adjust values.

Coin Options - change to FREE PLAY

Game Options - change to UNLIMITED

Be sure to SAVE as instructed on screen and then hit F2 to let it resume and boot into normal play. You may need to restart MAME so the nvram saves properly.

I used the parent machine "eprom" and hit F2 after the game initially booted to enter Service Mode.

Re: Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters

Thanks. Now fine. I'd have to change the version of MAME. Version 200 does not work with this game with all features of test mode.
I used MAME32 v 0.119. All features are equal.

Re: Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters

It works great until last level. BIG BOSS of the all game.
Only one coin and one chance to defeat the big boss.
I want a little more. What about Debugger and Cheat mode?
I'm just trying to run MAME with a debugger. I created a shortcut icon on the desktop and added the -debug parameter. Something is wrong. MAME does not start at all - needs a different parameter? Do you know how to run with the correct parameters to use the debugger?

I want to change value 5 lives to 25 lives.

Re: Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters

Can I use MAME.ini file?
Because I use Windows version which starts up from icon, and of course it use own launcher, pre-launcher with browser.
Special option like -debug it is probably for DOS version.
