Thanks @stevedude2 for your response as you can gather I am totally new to all this, I have also got your masterspy and goldbars classics and they have kept me busy for hours in these strange times and brought back some good memories so thx again. Also thx to you @Big J for your help today

@Ginge - Welcome to the site By all means use my classic layout if you fancy doing a DX. There aren't many pics of Aladdins Cave beyond those that you posted, in fact there were practically none until 2 or 3 years ago when a machine miraculously turned up - I'd been waiting for years to see one again. I think it was Roger off the Mecca who ended up with it, but he sold it on a bit later and I don't know who bought it. That unit is very likely the only one left in existence. There's a guy called Steve Lancett on the Mecca who has a Masterspy and a Bars of Gold; he's a top bloke and would probably be able to sort you some decent pics of those two games if you asked him nicely. If memory serves I think someone (might even be Steve Lancett again) has a brand new kit for Masterspy still in the box (or at least they did a while back) and that might be a better option for decent quality images, especially reel bands than Aladdins Cave. Either way help yourself to any of my Aladdins Cave, Masterspy and Bars of Gold layouts if you fancy having a crack - there's plenty of chaps on here who will be happy to help you along the way

So it begins...

Nice to see you still knocking about @stevedude2, loving those layouts still

You can send Pm's as well to people you need help from off the grid and work either publicly or privately together as a team. I tagged him so he will see this straight away as with all the lovely images Geddy has put up over the coming weeks(respect to him) and everyone elses interactions it can be a needle in a haystack in unread content. Steve is over at the Mecca too

thanks for the feedback guys much appreciated here are some pics I have of aladdins cave cant remember were they came from though think it was at the mecca don't know if I have put them on here correct still learning so let me know if ok. I have one more question once the layouts are done where and how do you put on the site ? Aladdins cave pics.zip

Fisrtly, its very good of you to ask about rules etc, and yes there are a few niceties to consider. If you intend to use 'bits' from other layouts its polite to get permission from the original designer (whenever possible), then make a 'thank you' reference to them when it comes to making a release post. If you use someone's classic as a starting point then you should definately thank them in your release and possibly even put their name in 'Caption' in the configuration section so it shows on the status bar. What you should never do, and many newbies have fallen foul of this is to change other designers layouts and claim them as your own. That is a definate NoNo!! Lastly, at DIF you'll find that this is the place where the current DX'ers hang out and most certainly the pace to come to if you need help and assistance. It always good to see someone wanting to try their hands at DX'ing and at first you're probably going to have some questions. If you do, don't be afraid to ask as we're always happy to help

Cashflow 126/129dfx works a treat and I can send you across a wiring diagram on how to wire it to either an ipac or a keyboard encoder. It requires a 12v power source (pc?) P.s my current build

Thanks Reg - much appreciate your help. Thank god I was better on fruits in the old days than using computers and EMUs lol. Cheers Dave
