Thanks for the helpful responses all. Will check out joy2key/xpadder.

I did spot that one recently Should be good for playing MAME internal classic layouts that require simultaneous button holds (nudging reels up, holding cancel to slow skill stops etc)

This could be potentially interesting for slot machine layouts MAME now has support for touch screens on Linux and Windows 8 or later, opening up new possibilities for interactive artwork. If you have a suitable multi-touch screen, you can now play chords on systems with on-screen piano keyboards. Check the documentation for specifics on how touch differs from mouse control in menus. You’ll need to turn on the enable_touch option to use touch screen support on Linux.

I’ve had the streak on a 02 £4.80 Grand National. It does seem anything v04 £6 don’t have the same profile, likely due to the enriched period being outlawed. I’m still going to keep at these and make the line wins free, shame about those forced streaks as it was one of the pitfalls of doing the lines, giving it an element of jeopardy Still it’s kind of fun to experience the trick on the games we don’t have early software for.

Nice to see you are feeling up to carrying on with this, I only wish I knew what you’re going on about way above my head . We do all appreciate the hard work and commitment you put into this .

I don't recall getting the streak on any of the machines that were upgraded from £4.80 to £6. I really only played Pay Rise seriously out of that bunch. I don't remember seeing Grand National, with the streak chop shared recently, or Circle Line on anything less than £6.

I haven’t. But then, I haven’t played the £6 versions much in MFME (with the exception of Pay Rise which is the 01 program with spot the ball). I never liked the £6 program, obviously the lines were fixed by that point, but also the Nudge TIme feature was ruined for the £6 versions - just another example of a jackpot upgrade ruining game play of previously good games. Wasn’t the big streak chipped out at some point? The recent video by @Chopaholic suggested it was. Maybe an experiment with autoplay might settle the issue?

A little bit hacky, but more progress on the MfmeTools Extractor. Usually when right-clicking the left side of the layout to pull up the Properties window, we land straight on the first component (the background). This isn't always the case though, sometimes there might be a component like a checkbox there. So we must get back to the first component... I've added a large 'dummy test' lamp on the left of this Andy Capp layout I'm testing with, so we can test getting back to the first component. Here is the new window scraping code getting its first use, watching the component number change while clicking left, until it sees it has successfully reached the first component:

hey to everyone here nice to meet you all, cant wait to play some of those old classics that i used to play in the pub when i was younger

@johnparker007 Exactly, some of the original old revision code is still present in later revisions but routine never called in the update J

Thanks for the update, great to see you on this again
