Cops n Robbers £8 Jackpot DX
By Multi Retro Man in Bell-Fruit
Hi, @andy-1 very kindly gave me permission to release this when it was ready. It was ready early on in the week but out of respect and not to upset anyone, I suggested that I leave it until at least Monday and he said I could release it this weekend, so here it is.
I did this from an image of the machine at the side, so I attempted to change it so it looked like you were looking at it head on. It's slightly wonky but I think it's quite good, despite this issue.
Anyhow, as always, many thanks to Wizard (R.I.P.) for his awesome emulator and Andy-1 for taking the time to do the classic layout (I wouldn't know where to start with it) so credit due to all you awesome classic layout creators because without you, I wouldn't be able to create the DX layouts and enjoy the positive feedback that I receive.
I have included both versions and thanks for Andy for giving me the unlocked layout and I now have a further appreciation of the effort involved that goes into the classic layouts, I didn't realise how long it takes to create them in the first instance!
Take care and stay safe everyone!!!!

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

Capt 'N Bear DX
By Multi Retro Man in Coinworld
Here's my DX from a flyer that wasn't brilliant quality so I adjusted the contrast and brightness to make it look okay, well I hope it does anyway lol.
Thanks to @Wizard for the fantastic emulator and @andy-1 for the machine in the first instance

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!!!

Corn of the Dead DX
By Multi Retro Man in Betcom
I am especially pleased with this as I did a lot of editing from a picture that had a long lighting stripe on and other parts where the light covered the images.
I made it darker as the original was a bit too light and didn't show the lighting up very well.
I saw a video on YouTube where it had a note inserter that had pulsating coloured LED lights on and looked nice but it currently isn't emulated and I think it might be too distracting.
I haven't done any fancy stuff on it like I did the others as I didn't think it needed any as it has Neon lighting at the top, red changing reels and plenty of other lights to keep the eyes athetically pleased looking at it.
As always thanks to Wizard for the awesome MFME emulator and Slasher for the excellent DX version initially.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed learning about the updates to the graphics etc.

Volcano
By Multi Retro Man in BWB
Works in MFME 19.8 (not sure about any other versions)
Firstly, I have been interested in fruit machines, arcade games and console games for many years now and have loved playing the various layouts over the years and thought I would do something to contribute something myself, but wasn't sure what I could do..... until now
After the excellent work by Robinhood75 years ago, I noticed that the red lights weren't shown and I wasn't sure why.
Having enjoyed playing the real machine before, I thought I'd have a look at seeing if I could work out how to show the red lights when the jackpot was guaranteed.
After managing to do this, I wondered how much I could improve the graphics and after someone posted the photograph of the machine, I thought I'd throw myself in at the deep end and give it a go.
I did a square version of the machine but didn't like the smaller left hand side so decided to do a bigger version of it (1600 wide) and after many mistakes and my laptop crashing several times, I finished up with the machine here.
I am still thinking of doing further updates on it, by improving some more graphics, but at the moment, I'm very pleased with the overall effect and hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed finishing it to where it is now.

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
