  1. Spiker The Biker - £5, £15 and £25 4K DX

    By slotsmagic

    Here's a trio of Spiker The Biker layouts, made using my photos that I took at Skirlington Leisure Park. At least I think that's what it is called. It did have a retro arcade section but based on recent videos it looks like it's no longer running retro machines. Let that serve as a reminder to people - grab resources while you can, you never know if you'll see the machine again
    Anyway - back on topic. Layouts are £5/10p (I'd suggest upping to 20p if you want a faster game), £15/30p (you can drop to 25p if you want a slower game) and £25/30p (again - you could run at 25p but I prefer the speed of 30p at the higher jackpot).
    It's a brilliant machine in my opinion - I owned one years and years ago and still kick myself for selling it. Must be coming up to 20 years now since I owned it. For some reason it was never cloned. I'm sure others from the same era weren't either, but I don't get why it didn't perform that well. It's got a cracking sound package, decent art, interesting upgrade system, and quite a few 'hidden' things. 
    Maybe it didn't do very well as it's a bit predictable - but I used to feel very 'safe' playing it? 
    Hopefully the layouts are fully working with no issues - I've had a few lovely people - @Mort and @Boulderdash - cast their eyes over slightly earlier versions and they both picked a few issues up which I hope I've now corrected. Knowing me however I've probably introduced more issues as I've made those corrections. Fingers crossed I haven't!
    Some of the suggestions made I have not implemented but I will definitely consider implementing some of the ideas on future layouts!
    Thanks for @logopolis for providing a couple of different ROMsets for me - the £5 and £15 are running early ROMs (named : BIKE) - which is odd as I've only ever seen ROMs named SBTR before? The £25 layout runs the SBTR ROMs as the earlier ROMs aren't switchable for £25.
    Thanks to Adam on Facebook - I think he might be a member but he's not made himself known on here. He sent me great photos of his decals, insisted it was no bother and he wanted to help. Got me a bit more motivated to complete this release as without those decals it would have been £5 only and the decals I originally had looked terrible!
    Thanks to @Reg for the site. I'll still tag him even though the account is closed. Thanks to @Wizard as always for MFME and the last 20+ years.
    Thanks to everyone else who puts up with me and my ridiculously off-tangent WIP threads, waffling posts like this one, and who downloads and plays this release. 
    Regrets? I built the layout on a tatty old 22" 1920x1080p display and only when I moved it up to my 65K 4K TV last night did I spot even more issues. From now on I will exclusively design on that screen, at 4K, from the off. Way, way easier to spot issues. Probably would have allowed me to get a more even result as well. Working on large art on a small screen at about 1/2 resolution makes no sense. In edit mode you can only see a teeny bit at a time

    Enjoy what is left of your bank holiday - and if you find any issues do let me know! I'll swear, punch my monitor, and then fix them (in that order)

    *NOTE* - I have unpacked the blended lamps, but this might be a bit hard for older / non-gaming PCs to run, especially during busy lamp cycles (jackpot sequence e.t.c.).
    Runs fine on my old and new gaming machines at 1080p and 4K respectively. If needs be I can release a fix with no blended lamps for those who need it. Will see what the feedback is like first.

  8. Strike It Lucky

    By Reg

    Not the best DX, but the base resources were not very good and you can only work with source material.  However this is an ideal platform for somebody to make a better version of this DX if they have good source and materials.

  11. 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
    WOODSY
    now has @serene02 's unbelievably realistic redrawn coin mech, i did only learn photoshop at the same time i did mfme layout creation so i apologize for little errors  or big

  12. Super Match (Barcrest) (Dutch)

    By Laylow

    This one brings me right back to 1979. What a great memories. It's not the most beautiful layout, but resources are rare. Also the first layout I started from scratch.
    A huge thanks to Midibob from the Mecca who dumped the roms for a couple of these very rare Dutch machines.

  13. Super Two £4.80 Dx (v2)

    By vectra666

    Next up here is my 500th Fme release and it's back to the 90's for me with this revisted slot "supertwo" the sister machine of "TakeTwo" which i thing take two is better.
    I'll let you decide on that one. play em both side by side!!!
    The reason i've redone this as the earlier version i made was a tad small (1024) so found the original image i made up and relight it, making a few changes to the original layout
    thankyou goes to the original supplier of images @launton i think as he owed this machine before Steve Lancette had it
    what more can i say, other the Enjoy and Happy Gaming just like its 1991
    Now i must push myself into making a new layout for the 501st Fme release

  14. SWEET16 [DUTCH] MPU5

    By Damici

    I know this is something different than you guys are used in the UK, but its a very popular machine on the other side of the pond. Normally we have 5 or 10 winlines, this one is a bit unique in that with 16 winlines. At the bottom game you can win 2 credits if your card is higher than the bank and you lose 1 credit when the bank is higher. Top game you can bet 5, 10 or 20 credits with respectively 4, 8 or 16 winlines. Hope you enjoy this one.
     
    *don't payout per 5 (€1,00) since MFME doesnt support dutch mpu5 very well. 10 points (€2,00) works fine.

  18. 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.

  19. The Mating Game

    By Reg

    This release has two version, one with a screen overlay ( many thanks to @A:E ) for allowing me to use the overlay here and one without.
    Also a note of thanks to @Wizard for all the work he has done to make this game 100% playable and everything else for the scene as well as providing some source photos at The Mecca so I could confirm that there was nothing else to add here.
    Note that this game plays 100% perfectly from an experience point of view if you get yourself a trackball.  Here is one I have got from Amazon...

  20. The Temple Of Treasuer Club Wdx

    By Tommy c

    Here's another updated large layout for mfme 19 this time its the decent temple of treasure,great game and responds to a force which is belting, I haven't blended the multi lamps on this one as it uses loads of dimmed lamping so when there blended the lamps look pretty dull,I will have to edit the awp version too to stop it looking dim. Thanks to wizard for the new mfme 19,Machine is jackpot ready and has a gam and ram back up file in the layout.Short cuts are the usual.

  22. 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..

  23. 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!!!

  24. 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!!!!!!
