Monkey Business - Smaller Version by Vectra666
By Multi Retro Man in Impulse Gaming
Vectra666 explained that my version didn't run very well on slower processors, so asked if he could do a smaller image version of my layout and I agreed and would like to say he's done a fantastic job of shrinking it and spent most of the day doing it, so major gratitude for taking the time to do it.
I don't take any credit for this version, but he didn't want to upload it himself as I had done the previous one, but I give many thanks to him for doing it and am so glad I'm a part of this excellent fruit machine emulator community!!!
Enjoy

Pie Factory 2 - MRM
By Multi Retro Man in Vivid
Hi, I decided to release this as it was originally released by duplu on another website back in 2007 then I didn't realise that @Ross (I presume you're the same Ross?) released a DX of this in 2013, until after I had completed my version.
Anyhow, I used some of the original images for certain things like the cash amounts on the top part and the features because I didn't think using the machine's image would be good enough.
Many thanks as always to the late, great Wizard for his amazing emulator and help that he's given me over the short period that I started doing the DX layouts but I'm so greatful to him for his help.
Okay, the one thing I'm not too happy about is the dot matrix but no matter how I tried, I just couldn't get it to look perfect. I tried putting a larger version at the bottom of the machine but I felt it looked a bit silly and it still wasn't right, so I just left the old one in.
Oh I nearly forgot, this was the first layout I've done using merged/blended lamps for the +1, +2 and +3 and it looks okay but when you get to the game, I think it's a bit too bright on a couple of parts but I hope you don't mind too much.
As always, take care everyone, stay safe and I hope you enjoy my release and you are doing okay

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.

Bucks Bunny DX
By Multi Retro Man in Cool Games
Good afternoon or morning wherever you are.
After being quiet for a while, I've been playing the games and emulator stuff, I played this game and thought I'd have a go at doing a DX for it.
Thanks as always first, to the late, great @Wizard for his superb emulator, without which, we wouldn't have any of these games.
Next and very importantly, mega thanks to @Matty.n for very kindly giving me the unlocked layout and helping me with the lamp numbers for the logos and the Cool image.
Finally, thanks to @infection for the images (I have worked out how to get the machine to look straight better than before).
A kind mention to @woodsy for offering to do a blended lamps for the logos but I thought I'd try and do it slightly different to how I usually do and it was much quicker and has the same effect as I wanted to.
Any issues or anything, as always, please let me know
Enjoy and stay safe everyone!!!

Mario Kart 64 - Version 2
By Multi Retro Man in Maygay
As always, mega thanks to the awesome late and great Wizard for the amazing MFME emulator.
Secondly, lots of thanks to @infection for providing the brilliant image of the machine.
Thirdly, thanks to @vectra666 for providing some advice that I may have missed (well I will have missed because it's something that I've not really been checking (the text that shows the maximum that can be won from any game).
Finally, I didn't realise that I hadn't actually changed the text for when I did the original DX version of this machine (can't believe it's not been only a few months since I did it!).
I was requested by @infection to do an updated version of the machine and I hadn't realised how low quality my last release was until I started working on this one (approximately a third in size). Since I have learned so much doing them and enjoying seeing people love playing them, it gives me great pleasure to release this one at last.
There were some green and blue colours on the game part that you couldn't see what was what, so I manually edited those.
I have also edited various parts that had flash flare (is that the right term?) on and I am really pleased how I have removed them, including the bottom part (red), some of the buttons and other parts of the machine.
Anyhow, enough waffle, enjoy the game, take care and stay safe

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.

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

All In A Days Work - DX
By Multi Retro Man in Global
Hi everyone, hope you're all safe and well.
The past few weeks for me have been hectic, stressful and at times a bit of a mare.
Anyhow, without going into much detail and being boring (great Pet Shop Boys song) I'll just say decorated 2 bedrooms, new beds put up and repaired as one was faulty, car problems (it's a Vauxhall Astra Twintop so no surprises there, it's a love/hate relationship) and I acquired a new second hand laptop only for the hinge to come away from the lid and break (I was devastated as I only had it a week and actually shed a tear because of the problems I was having with the car etc).
Anyhow, back on with the release, thanks go to @Wizardfor his awesome emulator and legacy he's left, @Clo06for the original release and my wife or letting me buy me second hand laptop MSI PE70 6QE (much, much better than my old Acer 7750G laptop but I still love that one to bits.)
I realise that this one is quite dark but I think it shows the lights up quite well.
Hope you enjoy this mute release and I think my next project may be to revisit Volcano now that I have more experience with the emulator and GIMP program

Arcade Retro - PDX based on Electrocoin Big 7
By Multi Retro Man in Miscellaneous
I love the game Big 7 so wanted to do something based on retro emulation in order to be an addition to my Guide To Retro Gaming book and I haven't advertised it in the release and as I changed the name of the folder halfway through the editing, I had to change it back so I hope it works. If it doesn't, please let me know.
I published the layout but it uses the same name as the original one for some bizarre reason.
As always thanks to @Wizard for his awesome emulator and Google for some of the images and MAME for the games with the screenshots that I produced.
Enjoy

Cash Lab DX - Single and Full Screen Version
By Multi Retro Man in QPS
What can I say? I have learned how to do a full screen version and apologies but this has taken me quite a long time to complete because I had other projects on the go, including my book, Guide To Retro Emulation and forthcoming book of poems.
As always, thanks and always in my memory when I work or play on fruit machines to @Wizard R.I.P. for his amazingly fantastic emulator.
@vectra666 for the original release and images.
@infection (it's been that long since I started this I can't remember whether I got the images from Vectra666 or Infection so thanks to both for all the help over the years).
In this version, I've added extra keys for additional coins (7 - 10p, 8 - 20p, 9 - 50p) - usual 0 for £1 coin.
I initially tried to add something so it wouldn't run out of pound coins but that ended up making the machine do crazy things with the hold buttons flashing away so I managed to revert to the original (for some reason I thought that the original had the same issue) and updated it properly
One thing I notice is that next to the number, there's lights for Hi and Lo but even looking at a video of someone playing the machine, I've no idea when they actually light up because playing the feature and winning the jackpot doesn't light it up at all. Oh well.
Hope you enjoy playing it as much as I have working on it.
Here's a plug for my 104 page guide to retro emulation. If you would like a PDF copy, please send £5 to deffstar@hotmail.com and I will send you the link to download it
(it will soon be increased in price to £8 and will also be available on Amazon in eBook and Hard Copy at a price yet to be decided but possibly £8 and £15)
