About This File

Here is a series of layout mods for Pook's brilliant PEN1 DX.
 
The purpose of this was to simply test different ROM sets (I found out later we only have a few) and sort the versions we had. I made some small changes to the existing DX to facilitate this work, and with Pook's permission it made sense to now release these to the scene for anyone who has an interest in playing the PEN1 game at different stakes and prizes on an earlier ROM set than the previous £250 DX (which used 750-846 dated 20th August 1996)

Notes:

  • 3 DX's with different stake/JP all using the same ROM revision 750-257 v1.2 dated 26th July 1994: 5p-£75  | 10p-£100  | 20p-£200.
  • DM Busy flag changed over to switch 36 to fix sync issues between normal game code and dot matrix code (e.g. Capone's Caper out of sync etc.)
  • Pay-out custom sounds
  • Changed colours on Dot Matrix and 7 segment displays to match original machine a bit closer (personal preference)
  • Learnt from Pook's amazing Happy Hour DX on how to do masked DX's which can incorporate full screen (F3) artwork whilst not requiring the original side art to be hidden. I wish I had looked into this with CCnR. Each DX has a different background just to try and add to the realism and provide some variety, all just examples of what you can do.
  • AutoPlay profile added and used to get all DX's JP happy and CP's full.
  • Added flyer/cabinet/game photos  and .db files for MFME Game Manager.
  • Added game manual PDF

It would seem that these ROM versions opposed to the 25p/£250 version give a better game overall. Interestingly the 25p/£250 game has a completely different BFM internal project ID PR6574 whereas these versions have ID PR6331. This wasn't the case with CCnR which shared the same project ID across all versions including the later 25p/£250 ones.

This mod was released with Pook's approval, and the credit must go to him for the DX layouts.

I am only adding a few things here and there to these DX's and it's a simple job for me tinkering around like this. The work that layout designers do, both classic and DX layout's is the tough stuff.

Hope you enjoy and it's great to see people playing these DX's and talking about them.

Cheers,

Mort.

A machine and DX with so much history in FME, it took a lot of effort and emotion to bring this DX to us for all to enjoy.

I played no part in that, only the small modifications to the existing DX to make it work on earlier ROM sets.

Thanks to all that played a part in it, and allowed it to become a machine we can always play and enjoy.
