Amusements

I used to have the older version of this called Derby Stakes (6 players). I once had environmental health come round with a sound meter to measure the volume of it across the road from my arcade, because someone in a high rise complained about the noise. That went nowhere! Apparently the manufacturers in Oldham closed in 2024. Coin-op amusements news | Whittaker Brothers closes its doors | InterGame

You could run Task Manager (Ctrl/Alt/Del) and view CPU and GPU % and view the performance. 8 GB of Ram might not be enough.

No issues for me using edge from Asia.

Each layout has an xxxxxx.fml file which keeps all the layout/config settings and is updated when you save(F7). An xxxxx.fml.bak file is just a backup.

The Ipac only controls inputs. IE: buttons and the Opto sensor on a hopper (Coin out). You will also need a PacDrive with a special ID for actually running a hopper motor, and lighting up any buttons. There are numerous threads in the Cabinet section with lots of incite, including various types of hoppers and coin mechs.

Or you can press 'F3' for full screen or 'shift+F3' for full screen stretched.

I always keep a back up of each layout and put in a DX or Classic folder. I then copy each layout, reset the RAM, top up any hoppers, make sure the sound is on full, and edit the layout for my cabinet in config... I also add a TAG. You can put in the tag box anything you want, so long as it is one string of characters, and you separate each TAG by a space. Then you can use the filter option in Game Manager. I then split my layouts in to hopper pay-out configurations. I then add TAGS to each layout

I think you should buy an Arduino kit and play with some code on chat GPT. Get one of them Arduinos with built in wifi and you should be able to press a button on your phone for a coin out.

Yes....These are cheap from China, and 12/24v hoppers are not readily available here unless you pay a fortune in postage. As an example. Here is a 24v (The only one I can find online here) and it is 82 Squid. https://shopee.co.th/Coin-Hopper-for-Coin-Exchnage-Machine-i.230857249.22046526098 A 220v like the big black one I have, is easy to find, and only cost around 20 Squid, and can hold 1000 tokens.

The black one is 220v and the blue one is 110v

If you change the relay that says PACDRIVE to a switch or button it will spin the hopper until a coin spit out. //pins const int pulse = 2; const int opto = 4; const int motor = 12; int relaya = 0; // off int relayb = 0; // off void setup() { // output: pinMode(motor, OUTPUT); // input: pinMode(pulse, INPUT); pinMode(opto, INPUT); } void loop() { relaya = digitalRead(pulse); if (relaya == HIGH) { digitalWrite(motor, HIGH); } relayb = digitalRead(opto); if (relayb == HIGH) { digitalWrite(motor, LOW); } }

I have done a few things regarding payouts without using a layout. A key switch that you turn to rotate the hopper (It simply connects the 220v to the hopper motor) An old kids money box that sets off a couple of timers that spit out x amount of coins, when you insert a note or piece of paper. A JY-142 board from Aliexpress that converts pulses in - to credits/coins out. An Arduino Uno that converts a button press to a coin out. (Based on the simple "press a button to light an led" free example) Another Arduino Uno that converts notes in to key presses using my note acceptor. I have some old threads in the cab section. I think it might be possible to make some sort of change machine based on MFME, using some of these new AI tools to program and assemble some code?
