Today would have been Uncle Chris (Wizard)'s 56th birthday. I'm sure he's been in your thoughts a lot over the last 5 months, but let's keep him in our thoughts even more so today. x

Happy birthday Chris, I hope they have fruit machines up there to tinker with You are very much missed around these forums, and I wish we could have worked on the new 3d stuff together - rest in peace dude.

Happy Birthday Chris. Gone but never forgotten.

Happy birthday Chris, you are missed mate.

Happy Birthday Chris, wherever you are mate have a great day, wish you were here as they say but i will have an ale for you later. Cheers...

Thanks for the thanks @Big J and thanks for the S6's @slasher ! Been a lot more work with these alpha displays than I thought... making progress though Everything has ended up a bit smaller again now I've got the accurate scale from matching a video, so need to beef them up a bit to work around the graphics issue. Fixed various corrupt character issues, sorted out the 3x fonts that they can be set to since I found my £ sign was coming out as the & character, and also got the 'dot' working which involved far too much work lol, close up screenshot below of a working dot, since it kinda gets lost at the moment as it's so small, scales down to nothing! Also got the nice fading in/out working... maybe another night on it and they'll be done enough... Brief vid, shows the fading and the new correct scale (though now the segment lines are a bit too thin again)

Happy heavenly birthday Wizard

Happy Birthday Chris (thanks again for everything), and thinking of your family too on this day.

It must be getting on your tits the constant thanks, well tough here is another. Thank you for your continued service and videos.

Have to confess, no idea what went wrong with those at the end! I've not seen it do that before... looking at it for a bit over breakfast, then can get some proper work in tonight, hopefully get some of these bugs fixed

That is along the lines of how I upgraded to Windows 10 and have never looked back.

As far as I know you can download Win10 from Microsoft and STILL use your windows 7 key on it. In fact here is a 2 week old article about it. Windows 7 is dead, but you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free – here’s how to get it | TechRadar

Windows 7 was great, but you gotta let it go, sir! https://youtu.be/jeK7NQnulbM

it was made for windows 10 thats why

Lovely @johnparker007 bang on the money

Ok sorry for the quick follow-on post, but turned out it was an easy fix after all, it was due to sub-pixel sampling stuff -looking much more legible now, had a big sigh of relief seeing them work, I thought they might be be doomed to look a bit glitchy Still got to get hooked up to mfme, but at least they can be clearly read now.

Love that artwork! Did you make it yourself, or is there a company that sells reelband pictures?

I've been looking into doing these alphanumeic displays for the oldies, as it's different to the dot matrix display the new ones use. Due to those differences (it has a fixed font, no custom segments to deal with) I'm thinking I can just use overlapping alpha textures, which allows me to add a 'glow' effect Probably gone a bit overboard with the glow here, but shows promise...

I would suggest checking you have all updates installed and if you do then run this in an elevated command prompt dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth It may take a while.

What's going on with the reels near the end there lol have they span too fast and fallen off? Do we need to get an engineer out?

Just added 67 DONDs off the top of my head although some are scorp 6 so feel free to wipe them as it's not yet emulated
