I see Steve lancette aka Steve’s fruits just got bfm cash force in similar to cash attraction YouTube vid of it
Steve wont let ROMS go, but if you were to engineer a holiday to Great Yarmouth and ask to see his lock up, he'd almost certainly let you in and take photos and the like.

ROMs are an absolute bug-bear of mine with this. The FME community has, through Geddy and many others, sourced, purchased, dumped and catalogued these valuable resources and freely give them up as open soucre on a quid-pro-quo basis. It helps our community and it helps collectors of real machines when the battery on the board has had a midnight feast. It pains me when I see an old machine turn up and the owner isn't willing to have the ROMs dumped and backed up for all eternity. Always my thought is "what if this is the last example of this machine in existence and then a power surge causes them to fry and be lost forever".
I think AMOT had the MMM Maygay machine Nudge Bug and sold it to JPM Stu. I have asked Stu so many times for these to be dumped and he refuses as he got called a stupid cunt at the Mecca many times. In his view the grief he suffered means he isn't amenable to supply resources. Gutted as this was a fabulous machine in its day and I suspect it is the last of its kind so when it dies, as it will, any chance of emulation dies with it.

...and you are the first answer.
I've pinned this post in this area - everybody - stay on-topic here, this is not a debate, memory or whatever thread.
Please just post acronyms and meanings such as @slasher and his post or below that maybe useful to new members.
- JPM - Fruit Machine manufacturer.
- BFM - Fruit machine manufacturer, also know as Bellfruit.
- Barcrest / IGT / SGC ( Scientific Games Corporation ) - Fruit machine manufacturers ( basically the same company across various owners ).
- RED - Red Gaming, was another brand for Barcrest back in the day. When downloading roms, these would be the same BBS as Barcrest years ago.
- Vivid - Again was another brand from Barcrest back in the day. When downloading roms, these would be the same BBS as Barcrest years ago.
- BWB - Another brand from Barcrest back in the day. When downloading roms, these would be the same BBS as Barcrest years ago.
- QPS - Once an indpendant manufacturer before owned by BFM.
- Mazooma - Again once an indpendant manufacturer before owned by BFM.
- Empire - Great fruit machine manufacturer that was very friendly to the scene many years ago.
BBS - Bulletin Board Service. A secure website operated by larger manufacturers to provide rom files and other technical documentation to subscribers.

BWB were Bonner Wilson and Bonner the 3 original owners of the company and, whilst using Barcrest cabs as a base for their rebuilds, were not connected to the Barcrest company.

LOL What's the difference? Edit the layout and play it in V20. If you are still playing Slots R Us layouts then you are going against Wizard wishes anyway.
By the way you don't need to hack mfme to potentially cleanse a layout? I don't even know if it would work as I don't play SRU layouts, not that I know of anyway.

A couple of V20 layouts released by him tonight. Wonder how he got V20 hmmmm.?

I am sorry I haven't posted before, just haven't known what to say, which is a common theme running through everyone's touching tributes. I was deeply ssddened to learn of Wizard's passing. Whilst it's true we had a turbulent past, in more recent times it was much calmer.
When he released his Cash or Nudge, shortly after I happened to mention the machine in a post, I was so chuffed that in spite of our past he had given me my most wanted emulation. He was like that, a bit gruff, but a big hearted spirit.
I hope he was justly proud of the scene he created and the admiration and adoration for his work, as expressed in the thoughts in this thread, shows that proudness we have in him. I doubt any of us have on our devices a piece of software which is so long lived, so well used, so complex and free at the point of use. That Wizard could have been incredibly wealthy developing and selling other software but chose to invest in our toy which was given for free and which had such a profound effect on so many peoples lives is truly astonishing and altruistic in this world.
RIP Chris / Wizard, wherever you are now they are lucky to have you and sadly it is our loss. Tonight I have toasted MFME, your most magnificent of creations and thank you from the bottom of my heart. The scene will be less bright without you around.

Archive it
The list is a moving feast and republished every few months., archiving is pointless in my opinion, unless a singular list is edited and found ones removed and newer ones added, but that's a lot of effort.

Hoe expensive are the Clickerty Click roms? Money has built up over at FE. Who made the Cash or Nudge layout?
Machine is £3k

Thanks, wasn't aware. Thought it was a UK machine originally shipped to USA en masse along with a load of Silver Ghosts.
The Cash or Nudge layout was on "that" video. Not having a go at anyone here, it just was.

Barcrest made some shit hot games which got rinsed by me(see other threads). Loved them and emptiers started there for me.
Don't get about the Most Wanted bit?
Most wanted equates to games or rom versions I would love to play again but are currently unavailable, either because resource hasn't appeared, layout hasn't been made or resource is too expensive.
Line Up V1 roms. Missing in action but known to exist
Hyper Vyper (MPU3) V1 roms. Missing in action and not known to exist
Adders and Ladders (MPU3l V1 roms. Missing in action and not known to exist
JPM Clickerty Click (SYS80) roms. Known to exist but too expensive
Cash or Nudge (MMM). Classic layout exists but not released.

Barcrest as my favourite maker and junky because I was an addict. Pleased I broke my addiction myself before emulation existed and so happy when I found it. Very few things left for me now, but hang around for a few things to appear. Maybe a subject for a most wanted thread.

Gauntlet. A game I loved but was sadly no good at. Great concept of allowing you to stay alive with extra coinage

Just been looking I'm sure clickety click is by empire games, not the newer version but the one with the blue bingo ball and reel symbols similar to clockwork oranges so bells for JP
I wanted Clickerty Click to be the system 80 version by JPM from 1981
80's arcade games

When we played Tempest I can recall a hack where if you were past a certain level had scored over x and your score ended in 83, if you let yourself die it would clock you some free credits, something like 20. There was another combo which triggered unlimited lives too.
