Overload - Barcrest
So here it is my first layout (well technically second as my first was Rich & Famous many many moons ago). Its been great fun to be able to do layouts again especially with the new tools in MFME. Lamping is so much easier nowadays compared to years ago! Decent photos were used for stitching together and the reels were recreated from scratch.
NAME: Overload
MANUFACTURER: Barcrest
CABINET: Genesis
SYSTEM: MPU 5
STAKE: 30p 85% £25 Jackpot
Thanks to the following for help with the layout:
@Wizard For the greatest emulator ever coded.
@Steveir For the classic layout which I used for the lamp numbers and configuration.
@infection For pointing me in the direction of the artwork
@BL4K For the YouTube video which I used many times for reference
@vectra666 For help with the overlays and testing
@slotsmagic For the reel images
@bungle For Lamping help and general guidance.
Finally thanks to the following for Beta testing and spotting some silly mistakes:

Throw a Wobbler DX
By woodsy
after discussion with @PekoJPF here is the dx version of throw a wobbler, he has been the vital ingredient in this process for without his classic i would of struggled to complete this as it had a few hurdles to manoeuvre along the way and as requested by pekojpf here are the people he wishes to thank for enabling his success and of course the sentiment is doubled by my desire to thank the following people for their involvement along the way.
@Matty.n (Test mode advice and overall support) @wearecity (Cracking the UNUSED INPUT error) @Reg (Allowing me to use his reels from Flash Cash, and hosting, running DIF) The ROM provider @serene02 for patient and detailed advice and guidance creating individual masks and lamping advice @Wizard (Without him, what would we have....?)
PLEASE BE AWARE THIS INCLUDES A EXPERIMENTAL LAYOUT DESIGN; the art i had was mainly on, so i used it as i do, but one of the bulbs on the real machine was broken/off instead of fixing it i ran with it as i have played many a machine with a broken bulb (who hasn't).. it's still there just unlit, so you can collect it and it doesn't change anything other than add to the authenticity that i'm striving for.. INCLUDED IS A SEPERATE FOLDER WITH THE LAMP FIXED AND WORKING IF THE USER PREFERS IT BUT THE BROKEN BULB LAYOUT IS MY SUGGESTED ONE AS IT'S HAD A LOT OF PLAYTIME THROUGH IT. There are also a lot of areas with light reflections so be kind.
please pay attention to the hi/lo reel as it's as close to a replica as my skills could create, i'm very happy with it...
the other detail that i've been spending so long on which has delayed my usual layout speed (for the better) are the masks, the cherry one is class and the whole jelly has individual blended masks.. DO NOT UNPACK THE REMAINING BLENDED MASKS AS THAT WILL DISABLE THE SHOOT LAMPS IN ATTRACT MODE WORKING AS DESIRED I HAVE ALREADY UNPACKED THE ONES THAT NEEDED IT.
I had extreme difficulty with the red jelly lamping and this is the style i've ended on after a good 20+ variances through testing..
the reels are by @Reg with the new number overlays being mine, the purple mystery win backing is authentic to the machine too.. all stressful and difficult haha. I hope you all enjoy it..

Psycho Cash Beast Redraw
By Bodie
In memory of Chris J. Wren
Thanks go to..
Wizard for MFME
Geddy & Bugs for their classic (used as a base for this)
Shortcuts included in the text file
This was redrawn from the flyer by me in 2008 and has sat on an old hard drive since, a case of me being disillusioned by the fact that the more elements i had to redraw i felt no closer to where it should be.
So i have decided to release it the way it was finished back then, probably a purists nightmare..
Take it for what it is..
Nick.
**Update**
Should be fixed now, knew i would cock it up.

Tik Tak Cash £4 TOKEN jp dx
By vectra666
Yes you are seeing double of this layout, but A BIG thankyou to the member from here for finding the Token rom version 1.0 the £4 token lamp lights up as does the correct token input lamp
so this layout pays out the Jackpot in Tokens where as the previous is All Cash and is probably a earlier rom than the all cash
So thanks again to the member from here
Enjoy it as it was on its original token setting and Happy Gaming!!!

Gold Rush Stampede (3 Player Stand Up) - Barcrest
By No1Stoney
Here we have Gold Rush Stampede - Stand up 3 Player. Set on £25 / 30p / 90% by Barcrest
Many thanks to @infection who again provided imaged for this release.
This has taken a LOT of time to get right. It's still not 100% perfect due to the quality of the images, and the strange thing where some of the lamps on the top board are lit using the slave units (this is the reason why the bottom 5 or so lamps on the left and right hand side of the top board are not lit - This is a limitation I cannot think of a way around). Also I've had to 'guess' a few of the lamp numbers so they may not act 100% to the real thing. These things do not have a lamp test mode to help! Also I have been scratching my head for a long time trying to figure out how to get the Barcrest multiplayers to work and link-up in the emulator. Finally figured it out 🤯
With that being said, I hope you enjoy this release as much as I enjoyed the challenge of creating it.

Barcrest - Weird Wolf - 30p - £25 - Mpu 5
By Mavroz
Barcrest - Weird Wolf - 30p - £25 - Mpu5
Thanks to @Reg for Playtesting.
This machine should be good to go although there wasn't much to go by to create the layout.
Possible failed test machine, it also has quite a few lamping glitches, more noticeable in attract mode.
Enjoy.

Barcrest - Monty Python's Flying Circus - UHD
By slotsmagic
Here it is, I'm pretty happy with how it's come out. If anything is obviously wrong, let me know - I will update it if required!
Only doing a £15 version at the moment, I will consider the £5 version later.
NOTE - I designed this on my two gaming PCs, this is a UHD layout and does feature a fair few blended lamps so will potentially not run well on lower specced / older machines. I do apologise if that is the case!
Thanks to @Reg for graphical advice and hints, and @Boulderdash for playtesting - do note that I have done some work on this after testing and may have introduced new errors, so again, if you find issues, let me know

Nickelodeon £2.40/£3 All Cash - £4.80/£6.00 Token Dx's
By vectra666
Another Re-release this time its Nickelodeon's turn,
Thanks to @johnparker007 for upscaling the image i had on the original Wip some 9 years back
Thanks to @Guitar for the original photos
There's Four to choose from if you only want to download the two token dx's you can simple tick the checkbox in the centre on the machine to make em All Cash
I made four variants as the All cash is how i remembered this from around 1991-93 and the All cash gives a good game some times repeating the wins on and on and on
not sure if you can change the percentage
Enjoy and Happy Gaming!!!!

Tik Tak Cash ALL CASH £4 Dx
By vectra666
Happy New Year to All in Fme Land
and here's my take on a old skool classic from barcrest, similar to the likes of action bank, action note, flash cash etc
Thanks to @CompostCORNER for his dx this is based on, even left the notes from his layout in mine
@stevedude2 for the flyer although still a tad rough as you can see with the layout.
Now the layout itself.. the Jackpot even though its hard enough to get, seams to payout All Cash as in £4 x £1's not tokens and the £4 lamp doesn't light up during play but is the correct one. Maybe its a ALL Cash rom or i'm missing a dip switch or checkbox
the token slot works as it should so it accepts tokens but lamp no.56 (token lamp) doesn't light up due to All Cash..
A Oldie Mpu4 manual could be useful if anyone has one knocking about
Shortcuts are as standard
Enjoy and Happy Gaming!!!!!!

Barcrest - Let The Good Times Roll
Tech: MPU4
Here is my first release of 2024 and the first release of 2024 too.
Fancy a nice game of roulette at the casino?, well try your luck with this game and see if you can hit the jackpot.
There are 3 layouts to choose from:
20p play £8 Cash
25p play £10 Cash Tube payout
25p play £10 Cash Hopper payout
I don't know if there is any difference payout wise between the two £10 payouts.

Cash Counter £4 Dx (upscaled version)
By vectra666
More Barcrest Token goodness in the form of the iconic Cash Counter the true skill players game
This is probably the third, forth or maybe fifth time i've made this, originally made the "other" version back in 2013/14 then this "alternative" cab version which at the time was a mini 1024wdx using the real lit machine images instead of just photoshop so its more authentic to the real machine in lighting techniques. i longed to make it for mfme6/-20,
but lost the starter images a long time ago.
Fast Forward to 2024 and along comes @johnparker007 with the original mini art upscaled which he's done a brilliant job with
so here it is the final/final edition from me (unless the other cabinet real images come to light lol) A super Large edition!!!!
Enjoy and Happy Gaming all over again

The Big Cheese £25 DX
By Richy1976
The big cheese £25 DX.
I have left this so it loads in 6.1 still, so you can see the difference if you load it in 19 with all of @Wizard hard work on the new emulator.
Best in mfme 19.

Barcrest's Gold Strike £25.
By Ze Frog
There's a £15 variant by @Tommy c , but wanted a £25 version as well, so here it is. It's not my finest in my opinion, my 2 best so far will be released over Christmas.🙂
Couldn't find a name on the classic, but whoever you are thankyou.
And credit to @Tommy c for reels used.
All standard controls.

Barcrest's Club Vegas £200.
By Ze Frog
3 of 3 Christmas release's.
Probably my nicest looking yet to be honest. Started messing about with it at the time of Road Hog. This machine does already exist but was made a fair while ago I think so I thought I would go ahead. The neon effect cash values etc are actually done by hand as I could not find the font. I know not everyone is a fan of clubbers, but this is actually a good game, plus anyone having a quiet Christmas, hopefully this helps keep you entertained. Lol, if you are chasing the cashpot it should keep you going for bloody ages, it moves up very slowly, almost thought it was broken.😂
Massive thanks to @vectra666 again for better reel symbols and also fixing coin sounds and giving me pointers during final tweaking.
Also credit to @stevephipps for the classic on which it was based.
And Merry Christmas to you all.🙂

MegaZone £5 Dx (Re-release-resized edition)
By vectra666
NOT A NEW LAYOUT just a resize as Inbetween Jobs atm found the old art for this layout i made back in 2015, which was a mini 1024dx.
Someone pm'ed me not so long ago asking for the mini version so hope they like the bigger version.
the disc reel still isn't added to this layout, due to me not able to make them, or at least not tried making them, but runs ok as the smaller version did
Shortcuts written on the rightside of the layout and added on a text file within the layout...
Enjoy it all over again!!!

Road Hog by Barcrest.
By Ze Frog
Road trip back to the 90's...if only.
There's a perfectly good example from @Ploggy, but this might be a little clearer on big screens just because the advances in image software and emulator since then.
Massive thanks to;
@vectra666 for his assistance in fixing a few snags regarding the hi lo reel and his pointers along the way when needed.
@steve phipps for the classic.
@Ploggy for the reels and original layout.
@slotsmagic and @dad for extra image resources.
And anyone in the thread pointing out things which were incorrect such as top glass sizing.
Controls are;
SPACE = Start.
` = Collect/Cancel.
1,2,3 = corresponding reel.
E = Exchange.
0 = £1
9 = 50p
8 = 20p
7 = 10p
6 = token.

Barcrest's Weird Wolf.
By Ze Frog
Right, first things first. It's pretty janky. I could have spent more time and effort, but for the images available and that being the reason nobody wanted to embarrass themselve's with it, so I've taken one for the team.😂
Base image looked OK until lamping, so had to chop cash stack images from Vectra's Vamp It Up as using fonts it looked really out of whack. Symbols for the feature 'HOT' are actually stock images of jean rivets, FFS.😂 This whole thing is literally an exercise in me wanting the final piece of the Barcrest red and blue trail machines, regardless of how that was going to happen.
It's best on a laptop which hides some things better. Such as not masking the inner trails. I have other things waiting that are far more deserving of the effort really as this was never going to be perfect.
Added coin inputs 9=50p, 8=20p.
Massive thanks to:
@Mavroz for the classic and assisting with my questions and a really great conversation regarding MFME history etc. Top bloke.👍
@vectra666 for helping with advice and issues I had relating to lamps, and for the bits I pilfered from VIU.
@Amusements for a great resource for adding extra coin inputs.
@edwardb for really interesting thread on how anti stats code works and why on some machines a multiple coin input is a nessecity.
@infection for his archiving of images in Infections Images section. Always worth looking through just to find machines you may have forgotten about if nothing else.
Also thanks to the community on here that inspire doing this.
Anyone thinking of giving it a go should really consider it. If you choose something like this un DX'ed it kind of gives you a good chance to cut your teeth as at least it's something.

£100 10P Golden Dragon Club.
By woodsy
thanks to wizard, and to all creators.
GOLDEN DRAGON CLUB £100 10P - one for the die hard fans i reckon..
thanks to @Tommy c who's disc reel saved me a lot of pain, thanks to @WonkySausage @slotsmagic for working out the dips and such, and to @MikeyPosh for the images and help.
the disc reel overlay was making it look untidy so any perfectionists feel free to get it spot on, the lamping is as best as i managed but after such a break it's not too shabby.
put a few quid in to liven it up a bit but blimey who'd play this i don't know.. well we all would given a chance i suppose haha.
