Is there any way to set Swath for this type of rob?

When credits on the port are 3M or more, Swath tries to mega rob which results in a bust everytime.

Have you reported the issue to the SWATH developer? It is possible that the application reads the game type and then makes its settings from there. I don't know if mega rob is a new toggle setting - hopefully it is and that is what broke SWATH because I've never had a problem with it. It would be simple to use a TWX script to rob with, or do it manually.

Most likely this is one of the unintended results of toggling settings. The helper will have to change the way it reads the possible settings.

It reads the steal/rob settings correctly. I don't know when the turn Mega rob off toggle was put in, I think that was pre-my return.

I'll ask Stein, thanks.

Actaully TWGS 2.04/TW2002 3.18 made Megarob optional when MBBS mode was enabled. Prior to this version, Megarob was always enbled when MBBS mode was enabled.

Ok, the rob toggle I am talking about would be a TWGS setting for the recent releases. Does the game display as MBBS?

Yes, it is a new issue. I've passed this on to Eje, in case he'd like to make an adjustment.

Ah.. OK. :) I like it but I don't always keep up with what get's put in which version.

I did send Stein an e-mail.
