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..

Al Murrays DX by Multi Retro Man
Okay, where do I begin? Well I started this months and months ago and after straightening the machine up, I quickly realised how much effort had gone into the classic by @Reg especially on the dartboard lighting and thought I might not be able to actually do the DX after all.
Anyhow, after doing other ones and not thinking I couldn't do it, I thought I will do it and I have done so
As always with my thanks, it has to be to the late, great Wizard for his fanastic emulator. Still saddens me to think he's not with us any more.
Thanks to @Reg for the classic layout in the first place.
Thanks go to @infection as I'm sure I got the image from his collection and if not, I would still like to thank him for his efforts getting all he currently has.
I have created 3 images on the top right that show £5, £10 and £20 inserts. The lighting next to the coin insert is for inserting £1. I think I took the lockout off but if not, simply edit it and disable the lockout option, then you can tap it to insert £1.
Keys are the usual ones with the additional numeric keypad 123456 for the hi left, middle and right etc.
Now the good bits and bad bits.
Good - It works fine and I haven't found any issues
Bad - I cannot work out what light it needs for 50p play, so I used the same one as the 30p play. If anyone knows what it is, please let me know and I'll update the additional messages so you can edit it or I can update it as required.
Finally, as always, I hope you enjoy playing the machine and I hope you all stay safe and keep well.

Barcrest - Lotta Luck - UHD
By slotsmagic
Note - this might be a UHD / 4K release (it's 1600px wide by 2160px tall) - but note the source is my scan of the original flyer which is a little grainy, it'll not be as sharp as other 4K releases based on digital flyers, glass scans or high quality photos. I've done what I can with the source.
Also note - this layout was actually a sort of 24 hour challenge for myself. To the best of my knowledge it is complete and working correctly, if there are any issues I will correct them!!
Right, with that out of the way, here's my layout of Lotta Luck. @Chopaholicrequested a fix for an old layout, and I took it upon myself to quickly make a newer, updated layout which works in the latest emulator with hopefully better artwork.
Here's some layout notes taken from the layout - hope you enjoy it! Any issues do let me know

Austin Powers £15/30p/86%
By No1Stoney
As requested, here is and updated version of the brother of King Kebab.. Austin Powers. Set on £15/30p/86%.
Another tricky machine to lamp due to the 4-colour lava lamp. I hope it comes out OK on peoples systems. Took me ages to complete this as wanted to get it looking as best as I could.
Thanks to @vectra666 for the disco lamps around the start button from which I copied into this layout.
There is a slight quirk to the way the lava lamp acts in attract mode where the red lamps fill the lava lamp but the other colours flash at the same time, making it look odd.. I've checked many videos of this machine and it does this on the real machine so very little I could do. That being said, its not very noticeable.
Also thanks to the original DX creator (who I don't think is on here) RB from which I used to help me with some elements on this machine.
If there's any issues with the layout please let me know and I'll fix it. Enjoy.

£5/25 HOLY GRAIL DX
By woodsy
rip. wizard...
thanks to @infection for the images. to @Johnnyafc for the classics used to lamp map, and for the reel someone un-named??
had this knocking about for a while and despise the gameplay so much wasn't going to do the extra stake/prize ratios, as is i do have the decals for £8 but not £15. happy to give the art to someone if they want to bother with it haha.. seriously does anyone have a method for this clone of spice is right???
the only reason i did it at all is the monty pyhton theme..
still it works, looks good and is now off my hands allowing me to focus on my next and favourite game (top 3)
best wishes

£15 & £25 Spiker the Biker DX
By woodsy
wizard rip....
thanks goto the creator (unknown) for the beautiful reels that are included in both layouts. thanks for your efforts..
also to @Clo06 for lamp correction and endless kindness and patience, and to uncle @vectra666 for the assistance and patience with my continued requests for help!!
and thanks to @infection whose drive is always the the first stop for images and decals..
I started this when the heat was on and needed to take my mind off it all, and i also loved the game back in 1999!! there wasn't a £25 version yet so i thought why not, i soon found out why not, the meters were a pain in the butt.. but fortunately there are some good and kind members here who are always ready to clean up my errors haha.
the next release is finally at the point of completion and will be stunning and dedicated to wizard, way back when i never dreamt of reliving my favourite games in the way i can now and the next is one i loved so dearly it's only fitting to have it released in the name of a man i wish i had been able to thank and my thinking is for the time of the internet it will keep his efforts known to all, be it on here, on there or in the awesome arcade sim.
please let me know if you find any errors and i'll dutifully ignore you as i'm obviously perfect but then i'll accept i'm not and update with thanks to you..
best wishes and if you can't handle the heat just be cool.. ice cool...

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.

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.

£5,10,15 MONEY MAKER DX'S
By woodsy
WIZARD - RIP
thanks to @infection for the images and support. thanks to @captainhaddock for the classic which i lamped from..
3 versions and only 4 dodgy decals the difference between them, that and my attempted wording recreations. it's me after all...
how strange that 5-15 they still have the same cash ladder?!?!? madness but allows for multi stake play and there is a bit of fun to be had but all together a basic game tbh
they are probably a bit happy as been on auto play mainly..
any errors please inform me and i'll update.. there are three lamps i've not used and will not be adding as not needed.
decided not to blend the top logo for gameplay reasons and feel free to change that yourselves.
got a few images recently to work on so have a couple of my own to do then back to the wip requests.. thanks for the ideas and belief..
best wishes

Barcrest Cash Attack Mk 3 Wdx 50p/£70

The Jackpoteers £5 dx
By woodsy
thanks to wizard.. it's incredible the thought gone into the emulator and the fml side too!
thanks to @dad whose dx i used to lamp and the reels which are included too..
thanks to @Liverpool2008 for the beautiful image which i decided against editing to the preferred £15/25 versions of mine as that would ruin the base image imo!!
HOWEVER BY TICKING S DOOR, CONFIGURATION... YOU CAN CHANGE THE STAKE/PRIZE/PERCENTAGE YOURSELF TO THE WAY YOU WANT IT, THE BASE DECALS ARE OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT BUT THE ALPHA TELLS ALL AND THE ONLY CHANGES ARE PURPLE & YELLOW BARS, BLUE & RED 7'S, AND THE JACKPOT OF COURSE. THE TOWER ONLY HAS THE TWO CHANGES, TOP BECOMING YOUR SELECTED JACKPOT, AND THE ONE BELOW IS £8. THE £15 IS MY PREFERENCE!
There are multiple lamps i couldn't figure out, they are lamped and look good of course but the existing 3 versions have them off, and no matter how much i tried with the lamp boxes it just wasn't making sense!! @vectra666 if bothered may help and i'll update but for now it's in prefect working order with a little woodsy input on barcrest lamp maps!
my fingers are suffering from all the blood checks and it's really painful for me to keep working on lamping etc, i'm too addicted to fml to stop but i'm going to be a bit slower for the time being until i get my new life as a diabetic under control etc..
today marks a year on dif.. it's a great site bringing memories back from extinction! i'm glad i've been a part of that too, i will do my best to continue doing so!
as usual any complaints send them to po box 8008135.

Road Hog by Barcrest.

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

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!!!!

SUPER HYPER VYPER £6 20P
By woodsy
thanks to wizard for mfme, thanks to leehaim for the original layout, thanks to @Road Hog Mad for the idea.
thanks to classic designers all round..
It's more of a size increase than an artistic upgrade but tbh I loved doing it as I will all the layouts i create, I mean no disrespect to any and every artist in fml land but I will keep learning and loving making layouts as always, as well you all know I try very hard to fill in the missing gaps where possible DX wise, however they are running out of course and art is hard to come by at times, where possible i will seek permissions to add my version of a layout, obviously where high res recent work has been done there's no point but with the new 2022 software and mfme 20.1 options only now available it's possible to do things that weren't possible 10-20 years ago, basically I'm trying to ensure it's fully understood it's love of the games and the artwork that drives me to do layouts, not a ego trip attempt to do a better version etc..
I've started a request thread, I'll do my best to help as always!
anyways the mrs played this earlier, she's never played a fruit ever, after a brief tutorial explaining why the reels flash and move haha, she gave it a thumbs up and wants to go to mr p's to spend £20 hahaha
so that should tell you it's alright eh
enjoy

£5/15 Frenzy DX
By woodsy
thanks to wizard!!
thanks to @Liverpool2008 for the images, @Tommy c for the reels which i edited slightly to increase the numbers visibility, and the decals for the b/r 7's on top row.
thanks to @WonkySausage for sourcing photo of the top feature decals, to the rest involved thank you too!!
the £5 is completely hi res but to facilitate the £15 i had to use the decals from the flyer version of tommy c's.
YES THEY ARE ANDY CAPP BUTTONS, that's how the machine was photographed and for originality have been left in as i couldn't find the official ones and the flyer ones would of detracted heavily from the image. If anyone can provide decent images of buttons and also the top row decals please do and i'll update.
a difficult layout to lamp this one, and the forsee the future text is as clear as i could get it whilst keeping it original..
one of my favourite games to mess around with as demonstrated in a @Chopaholic video.. hours of fun can be had with this...
next up thanks to @Damici is one of my all time top 5 games.
best wishes one and all..

Cloud 999 £4.80 Dx's
By vectra666
Next up is this old skool favourite of retro players up and down the country, Cloud 999.
In the Zip file is two versions, a lamps blended and a lamps Un-blended version.
I've added both if the blended version runs too slow on your pc then the un-blended one is quicker.
On the Blended version you may notice a few lamps and the first reel "jump" slightly, this is cured in mfme v19 same goes for the speed due to the blended lamps it may run slower in v6.1 but again it's vastly improved when v19 is released.
Now the Thanks
Firstly to Kriss for the original 1280dx version used for the majority of lamping positions
A Big thankyou to Line Up Chris via the Mecca for uploading Hi Quality photos of the reel symbols, its thanks to these guys who own the older or any machines for giving us the images/roms for these classic machines
Finally to Richy1976 who has help greatly with the blended lamps around the cabinet edges form id'ing various lamps to adding the correct masks to them, and adding coin in/out effects.
Shortcuts are as standard.
So Finally Enjoy it like its the 90's and Happy Gaming!!!
