Mort

Looks great fellas

Stuart Campbell was a regular in the FME scene back then, he went by the name "Nick Special" if I recall. He got a bit heated on a few subjects and he also released a fair few early DXs (in the table cloth style!) He is a game journalist, having had a history in Amiga magazines etc, so he had the relevant contacts and access to get that article published. It was really good to see FME getting the publicity like that, and I also hope Reg's article brings in more people who would love the nostalgia that we get from the emulator. Article looking really good btw AND thank god we didn't chose Line Up !!

Great video. I echo your comments about TommyC as well, a brilliant designer and the work done on both these DXs is brilliant. Good time to be involved in FME again now, maturity of emulator, a wealth of techs, brilliant layout designers and no chemical fires !

Treasure Island Dizzy, now that was game ! I think you only had one life, due to some game bug, it was really tough. Loved all the Dizzy games, especially Fantasy World Dizzy. The good ol' days. I used to love entering those POKE cheats from the magazines. Then when I got my Action Replay cartridge I was well away. Everything is too easy nowadays

Looks good Reg. I think it's a great idea. I imagine there might be a few good people out there who have never even thought to see if FME exists. I can't imagine how amazing it would be for someone interested in machines to find FME now at this stage. The emulator and the choice and quality of layouts is amazing. I suppose we are very niche though like you say.

Oh and btw C64 is best

I'm waiting for the ZZap64 one to arrive on my doormat. I've supported many Kickstarters centered around the C64 and the Amiga over the past few years. Some of the books, DVDs and CDs which have been produced from these crowd funded projects have been amazing.

^ That's because we are all old codgers now

Never heard of anyone called Reg...

Always remember borrowing the Dreamcast from a mate at school along with Sega Rally. Really amazing console. Very much ahead of it's time.

Nice video again Choppers, but wow what a crap machine that was. I never had the chance (thankfully) to play it myself. Is there any chance though that the machine also becomes stuck in a gameplay state with regard to not registering any further money input, therefore compensator state sticks at point of it being “plugged” ? Or was the machine always this much of a tight twat regardless ? cerainly be good to get the machine into a happy pay state (if that even exists) then take a small win, plug it, and then see if it stays in that state. I might give that a test sometime.

Really enjoyed watching the Electrocoin video this evening. Keep 'em coming when you can Choppers.

Still not as slow to load as a C64 and a 1530 Tape Unit Although it's bloody close lol

Just catching up on things I have missed. This is a great series of tips in this topic, thanks for the info.

Yep really enjoying your videos, keep 'em coming Really enjoyed the Money, Money, Money vid - brings back memories does that.

Very nice idea, will try it out We might be setting up a training room at work with loads of PC's next year, I might get a DX running on each PC, combined with this sound bite in the background it's going to be my own arcade at work

Nice tip

Yep I found your DIP labels on the Bullion DX to be really helpful. Be good for more layouts to have labels when possible, so you can make adjustments to the game easily, it's great if you love to tinker around.
