Double Jackpot PDX
By Multi Retro Man in Astra
What can I say. I didn't realise that Wizard had passed away when I made this and I guess he must have inspired me somehow to do something totally different but not too different, if that makes sense.
Here's my PDX of Astra's Double Jackpot but based in a 'One Armed Bandit' as they've always been known.
Many, many thanks and apologies to @hitthesix for the original Classic layout and for kindly letting me leave this on as I was and still am in shock of Wizards sad departure from this world.
I dedicate this to Wizard and I'm sure that MFME will live on forever!!!

Mario Kart 64
By Multi Retro Man in Maygay
Here's the first finished version I did then I decided to do the night/dark version.
I thought I'd post this one in case anyone didn't like the dark version.
Thanks to Wizard for MFME and Johnnyafc for the classic version.
Enjoy and please will you let me know which is your favourite version?
Thanks

Pink Pussy DX - by MRM
By Multi Retro Man in MDM
Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping well and safe.
I was asked by @CAshman_eq to do this layout and have obtained permission from @vectra666 to release this one, even though he did the bigger jackpot version.
Duplu who did the previous £5 DX version isn't on here so I can't contact him about it and hope that this is okay. If it's not, please let me know and I will remove it as soon as I can.
I am particulary pleased with this one as I have done a few bits of editing with some lit amounts etc. and used a graphic for the unlit graphic, so please enjoy
As always, many thanks to Wizard (R.I.P.) for his awesome emulator and Vectra666 for allowing me to release this awesome game

Little Devil - PCP - DX
By Multi Retro Man in PCP
Okay, after thinking this was going to be an easy one, I looked at another machine then got excited about doing a better version of my previous release of Mario Karts and then remembered this one and lost interest in this and wanted to just enjoy playing some games on my laptop and doing various designs for T-Shirts, Mugs etc and also putting some photos I've taken for competitions and won one.
Anyhow, enough of that waffle, I am pleased to release this one, even though the lit face has a bit too much light on it.
I will always give thanks first to @Wizard for his fantastic emulator and the help he gave me whilst I was learning how to create these DX's and hope he's looking down on us all with great fondness and warmth in his heart.
Secondly, thanks to @Mavroz for agreeing to let me release my version and I think @infection provided images for this (it's been that long and I can't find the messages, but think he deserves thanks for the new images provided for all the other machines and forthcoming ones I will be releasing).
I did my best to make it better but got to the point that I just wanted to release it and as @Mavroz is going to release a version with better graphics when they get better images, I thought I'd release this as it is and hopefully you will enjoy it
I did have thoughts of doing T-Shirts, Hoodies, Mugs etc. based on some fruit machine layouts or whatever and wondered what you think and what you might like to see?
I do have a Facebook page that I can upload these to so if you'd like to see them or anything else retro related, it's at Multi Retro Mania (I hope that I'm allowed to mention it on here).
Anyhow, I'd like to finish by saying I hope that everyone is keeping well and safe and I am so proud to be part of this fantastic MFMEF (Multiple Fruit Machine Emulator Family)

Donkey Kong - Updated DX based on DADs release
By Multi Retro Man in Maygay
First of all, thanks must go to the late, great Wizard for the awesome MFME emulator.
Secondly, I wanted a really good Donkey Kong and the one that DAD released was one of the best ones I'd seen but I felt it needed a bit of an update and I did a little update for the letter K in Donkey by adding a fading Bonus word on it.
Then I thought the lights of the reels looked different to the real machine so I changed it so it looks like the fruits etc. are lit and not all of the reel. Some look slightly different but I feel it looks really nice. I also changed the colour of the reels from the dark yellow to grey as per a machine I saw on a YouTube video and think it looks fantastic now.
I also fixed the double £1 insert as it had another £1 insert as a different section so I removed it, resized the machine and now it works perfectly.
Many thanks to DAD for his permission to release this and whilst it has my logo on it, I wanted to release this as a massive praise to DAD for the beautiful quality of the machine in the first instance.
The other reason for this release is that I don't like machines if they aren't in the middle when you go full screen, hence this version I've done.

Golden Shot DX
By Multi Retro Man in QPS
Now before anyone asks, @andy-1 very kindly gave me permission to release this version and sent me the unlocked version so I could include my thanks etc.
Anyhow, as always, the first thanks must go to the late, great Wizard for his amazing emulator.
Massive thanks to @andy-1 for the unlocked version and help finding the better images that I used for the symbols and cash amounts under the reels as the original ones were partly lit and some were unlit and I ended up trying to fix them but they didn't look very good so in the end I used the better images and although they're small, they look much better.
I was going to release it tomorrow but given the rubbish weather and the awful experience I had with Tesco mobile (I won't go into it on here) I thought I'd release it so it hopefully cheers everyone up
Hope you all enjoy this machine as I enjoyed working on it

Crazy Fruits Community Party - Bell Fruit
By Multi Retro Man in Bell-Fruit
I was loading some old games and found this one (I love Crazy Fruits) and when I played this, I thought it might need a DX doing so started it yesterday and finished it today.
I published it before I changed the title so after lots of editing and messing around with backup files, I managed to get it fixed properly, so as always, Back-ups are so important, remember to do them regularly.
I edited the top reels because when I saw a video on it, the back was white not black so I thought I'd edit it to look more authentic.
As always, many thanks to the late, great Wizard for this fantastic emulator and his help throughout my learning of the machines.
Thanks to Infection for the images from his collection (I thought about trying to get them from YooToob videos but they weren't very good).
ISSUES:
I know the lamps for the titles and outer fruits are wrong/missing, but I thought I'd release it now until someone can advise what lamps they are (if you know) because it doesn't detract from the actual machine gameplay.
It has keys setup for pound inserts but there's no machine to accept it so it shows "coins only" when you try and use notes in it.

Mario Kart 64 - Night/Dark Version
By Multi Retro Man in Maygay
Welcome to my DX version of Mario Kart 64.
I have never played the machine in the arcades but I saw a video on YouTube to try and get an idea what the lights looked like on the machine when it was running.
My biggest concern and thoughts about it was how on earth am I going to do the parts that run round the gameplay and get them to look like the same lighting without any bits missing. I sorted this by lightening the image of the crops on the machine itself in GIMP and then using each one to mark the end of the previous one.
I thought it would take the longest but when I got into it, it only took around 8 hours to do altogether.
Anyhow, as always, thanks to Wizard for MFME and Johnnyafc for doing the Classic layout.
I have got a lighter version of this as well and will upload it but I think I prefer this version

PDX - Random Spin 'N' Win
By Multi Retro Man in Mazooma
Firstly, Wizard is still missed and cherished by the use of his awesome emulator, that goes without saying and I feel it should be the first thing on everyone's "About" when releasing the first time after his sad release from this life.
Secondly, I just wanted to advise that I had seeked and obtained permission to release this soon after the original classic layout was released but out of respect for everyone involved with the classic layout, I decided to give it a while before I released this PDX layout
Finally, info and stuff as always:
Thanks to @andy-1 for the classic layout and providing me with the unlocked version I have been updating my Mame Roms recently and whilst it's almost finished, I wanted to do a layout that was quite easy to do and not take up too much time as some previous ones have. Normally when I get into something, I get bored quite quickly and go onto something else but doing PDX's is great as it gives me a chance to experiment with different things and allows my imagination to run away a little, while staying in the parameters of what should be done, as it's still a fruit machine at the end of the day.
I wanted to do a touchscreen type machine and then realised that it needed buttons, so I found an image of a red button that was angled (normal flat buttons didn't look right on the machine) so I used GIMP to change the colours and add writing to them.
I have provided a Mute version (Thanks to @andy-1 for his help with this, I knew how to add the sounds (I'd done this with Volcano) but not worked out how to actually remove them to make it Mute) and a sound version that used his previous Pink Panther sounds.
I didn't experience any issues whatsoever when I was creating the layout, despite it being unmuted (if that's a word).
Anyhow, apologies for my waffle here, I hope that you're all very well and hope you enjoy my PDX

Monkey Business DX
By Multi Retro Man in Impulse Gaming
What can I say but this is the largest and possibly quickest one I've done so far.
I presumed the lighting for the fruits and values on the top left were full squares and not just the fruits but if it is the fruits then I may update it (I like it with the full squares)
As always thanks to Wizard for the brillant MFME.
Thanks to Clo06 for the game in the first instance
I didn't include a text file with it as I didn't think it needed one (okay I forgot to add one before I uploaded it and thought it not necessary!!!)
I don't apologise for the size of the Zip file because I wanted to use the best quality I could and thought by making the machine smaller in pixels, may reduce the quality when maximised and I think it looks great as it is!!!
