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!!!

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!!!!

JPM Golden Bars DX by Multi Retro Man
By Multi Retro Man in JPM
After only finding one image for this, courtesy of @infection, it was a sideways image, so I tried to adjust it and make it look as straight on as I could get it and after lots of fiddling about, I managed to get it to look how I wanted.
Thanks, as always, go to the late, great Wizard for his awesome emulator.
Other thanks must go to @vectra666 for his help with the graphics for the matrix for the cash amounts and little other updates that I used
It's a machine that I thought the lighting was wrong on the cash amounts, but the 3 red 7's are right. The cancel and take buttons seem to be the wrong lighting but I did it that way so they go from right to left in attract mode.
I edited the reels images to match the actual machine because the bars were the wrong colours, the blue star was a red bar and the red and blue 7's didn't look right so I had a go at editing them and whilst not perfect by any means, I think they don't look too bad.
If I make any further edits to the reels, I'll upload the images here so you don't have to redownload the files again.
Anyhow, if you find anything not right, please let me know and I'll try my best to sort it

Tree Amigos PDX
By Multi Retro Man in Impulse Gaming
Okay, before anyone shouts at me for releasing it quickly after the classic, I have got permission from @wearecity to release it when it was ready and I am so pleased and excited by it, I wanted to share it with everyone
Okay, thanks as always to the awesome Wizard (R.I.P.) for his emulator and @wearecity for letting me release my PDX.
** It's a mute release so if we get any sounds in future for it, I'll gladly update it and add them **
I'll not waffle any longer, just wanted to say that I'm not 100% happy with the Hi Lo location but I've achieved my overall layout that I had in my mind and hope that you enjoy it too
I created everything apart from the buttons on the bottom of the machine. I deleted everything else from it and did all the icons etc. myself because I couldn't find the machine anywhere so had nothing to compare with so thought I'd do a beach scene. The palm tree sky was grey so I thought it needed some colour and what a transformation it is!!!
Enjoy the game 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

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
PS - If you'd like a PDF version of my book before it's released on Amazon (at a higher cost), please send £5 to deffstar@hotmail.com and contact me on here and I will send you the link to it

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

Club Roulette DX
By Multi Retro Man in Crystal
Hi,
After being quiet on the creation front, I decided to have a go at one I'd not played in the arcades for @MikeyPosh and previously the classic layout was done by @Clo06 who very kindly sent me the unlocked version, so I used a previous graphic image as the intro where it has my logo and Clo's as well.
So as always, many thanks to the late, great Wizard for this incredible emulator, which none of the fantastic released would have been possible.
The blue numbers on the game are not very good but given the original image, I don't think I've done too bad a job.
Finally, and more sadly, I would like to dedicate this machine to a very dear friend of mine who sadly passed away several days ago, Jason Boddy. We met at college many years ago and kept in touch on and off ever since and I'm so pleased to say that we saw each other more in the past couple of years and the last time was just before Christmas. He was the first close friend that I've lost and I am still in shock, so please be kind with your criticisms with this machine, although I hope there won't be many negative ones, if any.
Enjoy the machine everyone

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.

Reel A Win - DX - Multi Retro Man
By Multi Retro Man in Vivid
Welcome to my DX version of Reel A Win.
Firstly, I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year and hope that 2023 will be a good year for you
Without a do, thanks go to the following:
The late, great Wizard for the superb emulator.
Wearacity for the classic and allowing me to do the DX and release it.
Dad for the image that I used for the machine (I adjusted the bottom section to make it look like a real machine).
This is the first machine that I have used almost all the lamps for the off-image as I realised that one of the features uses a darker version of the amounts when the lightened image repeatedly scrolls from the bottom to the top and without the off-image, it didn't show any of the lit images at all.
I used a slightly different number reel along with a slight edit for the colours for the background of them. It's not totally authentic but the colours were nearer to the actual machine rather than the blue that was originally used for the classic layout.
Finally, enjoy the machine
