So, as I used to play the earlier versions in the wild till they got chipped, sadly we only have Open the Box 02 with the lines trick in tact. Past few weeks I’ve been figuring out by looking at the Open the Box 02 and comparing it with the fixed 04 programme. I started with Line 1 - Unlimited Nudges and have managed to make this line free. So will be going through all the lines and doing the same, I hope to take this over to the other clones we don’t have free lines working roms…. So Pay Rise, Pound for Pound, Camelot, Grand Prix and maybe Hi-De-Hi. J

Also going to look i to the Sys1 Play it Again Deluxe as early £6 token versions were also emptiable via lines. We have version 03, which is the fixed version, so hoping to do this one too as it was a personal favourite as it was a lot more trickier as there were no features like Nudge Quick to make it quicker. Also only 3 max nudges to play with so you had to know roughly were the reels were landing and manipulate those. It was fairly easy once you got the hang of it as the machine would offer max nudges on almost every credit once it was behind percentage. The good thing about these ones is that it didn’t have the percentage watchdog so these don’t do those mini streaks to level out. J

It is a bit of a pain, especially for non-donors, but also I feel it encourages people to actually play each game and appreciate the work that goes into them. I used to download complete sets when I was into console and arcade emulation. Then actually play 0.01% or less of the sets I'd downloaded. I'd feel overwhelmed by the amount of content, have too much choice, and either stuck to what few games I knew, or just leave the lot. These days I'm way more disciplined, and find I actually play what I download rather than just grabbing everything because I can and then not using it.

Most forum ranks are garbage anyway, you can be a prolific poster of absolute garbage / human spambot and climb to the top rank, giving a false impression to newbies that you are actually a competent / knowledgeable member. I do wonder if that's part of the reason the original admin went with Greek like that, because people's value isn't just in the number of posts they make?
