Thanks.
The DMQ Fusion / Titan can be connected to a computer. It would be nice, if the user could store his own checkout table without your help. Is this possible?
@dos, Yes it is possible, the Checkout Table is stored on a Micro SD Card which is part of the PCB, you would have to open the Scoreboard up, remove the Micro SD Card, access a file called cc.txt, if you edit this file then you can customize your checkouts.
@ dmqdarts
Why does the DMQ Fusion suggest "Bull T14 D20" as checkout for 132? Is there a checkout table stored in the DMQ Fusion, does it arbitrarily compute the checkout values or is there a table stored with all possible checkouts, that are chosen at random?
And I would like to know more about the algorithm of the computer player. You can control its playing ability via the average. But what's its checkout rate?
And a third question: The DMQ Titan/Fusion can be upgraded/updated via the Internet. Do you have planned any updates for the DMQ Fusion? And if: Do the customers have to pay for updates of the DMQ Fusion?
@dos
Hi, yes there is a predefined checkout table stored, all checkouts are based on what professional players would go for, going for Bull first is preferable on a 132 checkout, if you only hit 25 then you;ll be on 107 and still have an checkout , whereas if you go for T20 and only hit S20 then you have no checkout. If a customer requests a particular checkout list then we can programme it prior to shipping.
The computers algorithm is too complex to explain how it works, it took several months of Software Development and Testing until we were happy that it accurately simulated a real player. The computers average takes 5-10 legs to match your select average give or take a few decimal points.
We haven't decided yet whether we are planning any further upgrades to DMQ Fusion but if there are and a customer wants their system upgraded then there would be a nominal fee based on the few minutes it takes to perform any such upgrade.
Check out our eBay Auction we're running at the moment, you can get a fantastic DMQ Titan for a real bargain.
Thank you.
I did not suggest a game, but only a simple calculator function (+, -, × and ÷).
Yes that would be simple to implement, although it would be a very simple calculator since the display has limited Led Segments
@ dmqdarts
That looks good. Can the case easily be opened for cleaning the PCP and the silicon pad?
On eBay you actually seem to experiment with the price. Yesterday the DMQ Fusion was much cheaper in one of your auctions.
Edit:
I have a proposal for a little software upgrade: A simple calculator function for other games than X01.
Yes the case can be easily opened, there are 6 screws at the back, inside comprises of only 4 things, Led Display, Keypad PCB, Silicone Keymat and a plug in/out Interface Cable.
On eBay we run fixed price listings, we also every so often run an auction to give buyers a chance of getting a DMQ Fusion or DMQ Titan for a lower price.
As for your proposal, we have already upgraded the Scoreboard based on user feedback and suggestions, we've added extra In-Game Statistics, the Save Game Feature as well as the ability to choose sets as best of 3. To include other games as you mention, would be possible so long as it can be displayed on our Led Display, see below we decided to manufacture a Custom Led Display rather than using a cluster of off the shelf 7 Segment Displays.
@ dmqdarts
What is the lifetime of the keys? Do you provide replacement parts? Can I replace the keypad by myself?
Hi in the unlikely event that the Silicone Keys become
damaged or malfunction we’ll provide a free lifetime replacement. The Keymats
are made from Silicone and have large thick Carbon Pills which are highly
durable, see below. The PCB Key contacts use a conductive manufacturing process
called “Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG)” which is more expensive than
other techniques but offers better conductivity and a much longer operation
life for the PCB.
Being professionally involved in Engineering and UI Design
for over 10 years we wanted to stay away from cheaper manufacturing techniques
and produce a Scoreboard of superior quality that looks great, is easy to use
and is built to last.
