    I have a sneaky feeling you're trying to load these into MFME (I might be wrong).  These are ZX Spectrum programs therefore you need a dedicated Spectrum emulator to run them.    I've tried them on two different emulators and they run fine. 

    That might explain things Dad.

    Many thanks for the above.

    Ive been absent from the community after my father passed in July.

    I assumed the slots ran in MFME.

    I will dig deeper re the emulator needed.

    Again thanks for the information.

    @gemini17 Can you unzip the archive okay?  Which Spectrum hardware or which emulator are you using?

    Hi sorry for late reply.

    Am using the latest emulator.

    Before the updates took place on the Lappy all the emulations would download to winrar.

    Now they go to a new location-I manage to place them into a zipped file then send them to open

    in winrar-but when I load them up in the emulator they show as a blank file-says nothing there!

     

    So completely at a loss.

     

    Other slots are downloading fine.

     

    Any help appreciated.

  3. Hi

    Struggling to open any of the slots!

    After losing my dad and multiple updates on the pc -the slots no longer transfer to winrar for some reason.

    Ive managed to open them in win-rar but now when I try to open the slots nothing is there!!

     

    Completely scratching my head now-any help appreciated.

    If you have it installed enough to walk around the Arcade, then the other thing is you need the latest MFME installed from here, and it also needs to be updated.  Apologies this can't all be done automatically for MFME, due to stuff out of my control :) 

    If you are having problems playing a machine (walk up to one and press the Enter key), let us know and we should be able to get you up and running.

    Good luck! :) 

    Many thanks for your help.

    Well as more money is going through they are getting closer together in terms of their payout percentage, as one would expect if there is no bug manifesting... so perhaps a real machine is needed to reproduce this issue reported by Andrew's friend - that Cloud 999 Chr-free patched ROMs play badly in terms of payout percentage:

    (the one on the right is Chr-free patched ROM, left is original ROM)

    This is all truly incredible and mesmerising to see, walk around and play(well when I understand how to play a machine-lol)

    I am slowly going through the 100's of pages on the topic but sadly with supporting 3 family members with disabilities I'm not quite up to speed.

    I'm also not the brightest with any tech John but will get there in the end.

    I will send on a donation shortly as I will be sending on my annual donation to this incredible site.

    Many thanks to one and all who have contributed to the project and continue to give up many hours of their personal life to keep the site alive in so many ways.

    You are all stars with such incredible individual talents.

    I have been trying to contact @Ploggy and @Leeham, with no joy. Does anybody know them at all? Hopefully they are ok!

    I used to be in touch with Ploggy regularly on Fruit emu but have not heard from him in a long time.

    Tommy C did say to me he had been on dif in the past but I have not sadly seen him.

    I too hope he and all past members (who have contributed so much to the continued development of fruit emulation)

    , are well.

    I wouldn't say so, mate.  Maygay fliers are notoriously bad, and this one is no exception.  What makes it worse is the picture of the machine is taken way too far back, making the resolution of the machine really small unfortunately.

    Real shame mate.

    Loved this era of slots from Maygay.

    There was a diamond themed slot and ive tried to get the name of it over the years ive been on the emulation sites and still can't find the name of it.

    Only played it at the Pleasure beach in Blackpool-it was a feature slot and the top feature had several diamonds with cash values in them.-It was a 20p/£6 or £8 jackpot.

    It was defo a Maygay slot and was so bloody addictive !!?

    Gave such a good game too.

    Wonder if anyone has a list of a Maygay catalogue .

    HTS gave me pages of games once in an effort to find another slot ,a 2p feature slot-another one I can't find!!!

    I'l revisit that pm and see if I can find the diamond slot.

    Loving these videos, mate. :)

    Coronation Street was one of my all-time favourite Maygay's I have to say.  Closely followed by That's Life, and Monopoly.  I never saw an Eastenders where I lived, so didn't build-up a fondness for that particular machine, but I can understand the love for it.

    Here's a picture of That's Life to get the retro feels going.  Picture cam from riche100 originally. :)

    Know we have a classic of the slot-is the flyer clear enough for a dx mate??
