+ | It is much easier to interface to the game PC via a keyboard, rather than using the front-door panel (which only has 4 buttons). To hook up a keyboard, unlock and remove the backglass panel on the head. On the PC cage plug in a standard IBM PC/AT keyboard into the keyboard port (note that this PC has an old-fashion 5-pin DIN plug rather than the newer 6-pin mini-DIN plug). In most cases, the PC will detect the connection of the keyboard and place the machine into the SHELL mode. Also note that you can capture all printouts / command responses by connecting a PC to the serial port (9600 baud, 8, N, 1) and by having the PC run a terminal program (HyperTerminal). Typing HELP or ? will display the list of commands shown below. | ||

+ | Most XINA commands are common between RFM and SW:E1 games, though the XINA level in RFM 1.5 includes communication options and code that are not available in released levels of SW:E1 (it appears that much of the XINA code used on the SW:E1 during the tournament at Pinball Expo 99 was incorporated in XINA 1.17 in RFM 1.3/1.4). In addition there are some game-specific commands in RFM (there were apparently some cool game-specific commands for SW:E1 that were removed for production code build). | ||

Warning: DO NOT issue commands or alter settings using the XINA command set unless you know what you are doing and understand the implications.
