Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine highly efficiently using a capacity of a main ROM by executing prescribed processing without adding new processing when referring to information input from an input port to execute the prescribed processing.SOLUTION: A game machine includes setting value operation means, door opening / closing detection means, setting change processing means capable of changing a setting value, and input port processing means for executing processing of reading information from an input port. The input port processing means reads setting operation information and door opening / closing information, where second storage means has a prescribed area for storing the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information. The input port processing means stores the setting operation information read from a prescribed input port in the prescribed area, and the door opening / closing information read from a specific input port in the prescribed area, The setting change processing means refers to the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information stored in the predetermined area and determines the end of the processing by the setting change processing means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 433

Claims

【Claim 1】 control means for performing arithmetic processing for controlling the progress of the game; a first storage means in which information necessary for executing the arithmetic processing by the control means is stored; a second storage means in which information necessary for executing the arithmetic processing by the control means is stored; setting value operation means for changing or confirming a setting value; door opening / closing detection means for detecting the opening and closing of the front door; setting change processing means capable of executing the change of the setting value; input port processing means for performing a process of reading information from an input port within an interrupt process executed based on a timer interrupt occurring at a fixed period, comprising: the input port processing means reads setting operation information indicating the state of the setting value operation means and door opening / closing information indicating the state of the door opening / closing detection means; the setting change processing means determines the end of the process by the setting change processing means based on the read setting operation information and door opening / closing information; the second storage means has a predetermined area for storing the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information; the input port processing means stores the setting operation information included in the input information read from a predetermined input port in the predetermined area, and stores the door opening / closing information included in the input information read from a specific input port in the predetermined area; the setting change processing means determines the end of the process by the setting change processing means with reference to the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information stored in the predetermined area; the second storage means has a plurality of state information storage areas provided for each type of input port and storing a plurality of types of information regarding the state of the input port; the state information storage area includes at least a first state storage area for storing information indicating the current state of the input port, a second state storage area for storing information indicating the state of the input port at the time of the previous interrupt process, and a third state storage area for storing information regarding the change mode of the current state of the input port; A gaming machine characterized by the above.
