I can see where you are coming from, but I'd be shocked if they are making any real money from it. Any that they are making will probably barely cover the costs of their production so as above, if it leads to more people seeking it out, and I'd say it's fair enough. Now, if they were directing people to 'buy' the games, that would be another matter

Many thanks, missed the Kickstarter last time! Got a Vega through Indiegogo (crap!), forgot to back the Vega+ (dodged a bullet there!!). Kept meaning to pack this but ultimately forgot. Decided to hunt around after people started receiving but refused the prices they were going for, so hopefully these are sensibly priced and I remember this time

I dread to think. Possibly £200 or £250 rehashes of existing £500 B3 machines in pubs limited to £1 play? To be honest I'd probably rather play one of them than some completely dead compensated cat C that somebody has used methods on and left dead for the next player. Don't quite get why private members clubs are limited to £400 jackpot at £2 play when you can walk into an arcade or bookies and play for £500 at £2 - the exception being B3A lottery machines which I sometimes did well on, and sometimes were utterly appalling. Note - I'm currently in a 'gamble free' phase do don't intend to gamble in pubs or arcades even when they do reopen (except possibly £5 jackpots and pushers e.t.c. at seasides!)

Well this is interesting (to me anyway!) Before stopping last night I worked out the cash trail manually, as well as the bits around the features that light up, 'Fat Bastard' mystery choices and a couple of other bits. I'd tried lamp test at the beginning but it went straight to the 'flash' test, which tests all lamps, making it useless to me. I assumed that this was because all lamps were visible on the layout (albeit not labelled) and therefore it assumed all the lamps worked. I've been having a play about in the config screen and checked the 'lamp test fail' checkbox - and now it's giving me all the individual lamps! Should be nearly done now, just working through trying to get the lamps for the names, reels, and a couple of the characters on screen, as well as working out how to get the LEDs around the 'disco' button to work One little snag though - I seem to have locked the width and height of the layout! I can't drag my window to the right any more and now have sliders at the top and the bottom. Any of you more technical types know what I've done wrong?! Thank you all for your help, I know it's not a new layout but it's given me something to work on the past few days and it's actually been pretty therapeutic, bit like a logic problem (with the way I'd been working everything out manually up until now due to not knowing what I'm doing!) P.S something that made me laugh - I knew this was a clone of King Kebab, but didn't realise the test mode would have all the King Kebab lamp names!

I thought it would be a lot faster using someone else's reels but it's still taking ages! I mean it saved me a lot of time (cheers Johnnyafc!) but the actual moving things about and making things light properly is taking a long time. Just a case of messing about in demo mode until the bits light that I need! Looking a bit better now mind. Got the desired result on the lava lamp - the new version of MFME handles the multi-lamped things on this and King Kebab significantly better (from memory!). Just got to work out the lamps for the cash trail up the right, the mystery options, and the characters then it'll be pretty much done. Oh, need to add a legend for the winplan too. Got rid of the purple background. Tried a few different shades but something didn't seem right!

I've been working on this on and off for a few days (don't judge the layout harshly at this stage, I'm still working lamps and things out before doing any real tidying up!), was going to attempt to work out the rest of the reel symbols and thought I'd see if there was another classic as if not I'd release it publically, if there was there wouldn't be much point! Turns out there already is a classic in the legacy area by Johnnyafc from 2007! I'm still thinking that a new classic would make sense for me as it'll have all the working lava lamp sections working since they have 8 lamps (2x4 coloured lamps) per section. I've worked all of those out and still plan on completing the layout. Something I did wonder though is Johnnyafc seems to have all the correct reel symbols for his layout (if you see my pic I've been working from scratch). Am I allowed to use these other symbols or do I need to source my own? I don't know rules of decorum for resources on here. Ta!

@justme2019 Here's the layout complete with ROMs and a RAM I've been playing with. Owes a fair bit so will give a few invincible boards from the off. £5_25p.rar

So much easier when you find the location of the second test switch! Really wish I'd kept my old Austin Powers (don't remember if I scrapped it or sold it), but wish I'd kept the reels and decals if nothing else. From memory the main differences were just more rounded bar symbols with the word SWINGER across them instead of BAR, and the sevens were more... funky? This will keep me busy tinkering for a while. Won't reply to this thread again as don't want to keep bumping it up the front page but thanks again Wizard and everyone else on here

I don't believe it! That was about the first thing I set to disabled and was convinced I'd changed it back at some point but hadn't! Cheers

Austin Powers : apow02s.p1 > p4 King Kebab : kbab11s.p1 > p4 Odd thing is I actually had Austin Powers boot! I then saved the layout, saved the game and reloaded. Now it's back to ALARM 30-51 m5austin.zip m5kkebab.zip

Hi all, Wanting to try making a few classic layouts. I could just modify existing ones but that isn't my style, so starting from scratch is what I'm trying to do. Having got some MPU5 ROMsets loaded from planetemu.net and changing a few settings I can't get past these 'ALARM 30-51' errors on the alpha. According to the MPU5 field service manual these are MUX errors I think? I've tried playing with MUX5E checkboxes, making sure I've got all the lamps I can physically fit onto the screen, but still no luck. I know these machines are Genesis so have left that selected. I'm sure I've tried every possible permutation of options within the Config screen and still the same!! Can anyone shed any light onto what I'm doing wrong?! Ta

Many thanks for that! I think I replied without refreshing so didn't see your post.
