This setting determines one bill's value in pulses. The number of pulses is always an integer. The smallest acceptable coin value equals one pulse. In a VGM with US coin mechanisms, one pulse is worth a quarter. Typically, the DBV value is $1.00, or equal to four coins. In that case, the DBV pulses the coin line four times. MAXIMUM CREDITS is the maximum number of unplayed credits that the VGM allows. Chapter 3.
