Have one on me - your work is amazing and you are sorely missed.

if 11 boxes left - just about 1 in a 1000 (11 x 10 x 9)

Id like to see some rich person who DOESN't need the money, take offer 1.....

I will always be a gambler, I am resigned to that and can keep my losses in check (mostly - occasional blow outs happen) For me though MFME is a real boost, it does satisfy me, and I can equally happily play old slots rather than deposit online. If I had never had MFME though, would I have been able to just quit entirely? Possibly, but i'm not convinced. Having said that, my days of playing IRL are definitely numbered. I have lost fortunes on randoms down the year, and they, and the digital cabinets hold very little interest for me now. I have one arcade with a few £5 machines which I enjoy - but the pub days, I reckon are in their final 12 months.

I had one one the Dragon 32 - wasnt any of these pictured, but it did have a feature trail which would give nudes or (i think at least) some sort of win streak. I used to love my Dragon 32 - 1st home computer with proper keys

Hello and welcome to The Greatest Show on Earth - only without Hugh Jackman. Or P T Barnum for that matter.

Got my five year badge today, and what a pleasurable five years it has been. I love this site and the memories of yesteryear it contains and would just like to say a huge thank you to all who contribute, be it layout releasers, video releasers or just those (like me) who comment on the more fun and informative posts we have had down the year. Keep up the awesome work

This is a really interesting post - but WAY above my technical level - me just bash buttons.

Hahah - got my Hot Shot running a pretty Brutal ( but not zero paying) auto play set up. Its just double repeated on the JP - who would have thunk it?

The things you learn reading random posts... despite being a member here for a few years..... I have always loaded each game from my downloads - I never realised MFME had linked them all for me! I officially feel stupid, but @stevedude2THANK YOU!!

It takes some fiddling with, but I just use some very basic profiles to ram some money into games. This is my rather basic one for mega Deal or No Deal - surprisingly, cos of the number of boards which will hit Mega Streak on the shots, although this will get the machine owing a good chunk on % its not as high as you might expect. (It should be a 0 where it says insert - I must have knocked it taking the image)

Welcome You may want to consider a small donation to the site - this will give you unlimited downloads for the year - and is unbelievably worth it. If you remember any of these games from the 80's on (possibly even 70's) you are in for a world of pleasure.

I had to look this up

I have never used any security on my home laptops and never had any issues.

Naughtiness? On a DOND?? Surely not......

Harder?!?! They pretty much all take your pennies in the end...

Thats mental - or one HELL of a streak building up

Certainly on DONDs - there were some other Bellfruits which were exceptions though.

I presume, this was some sort of anti-player measure - cos lots of machines in the past have been in a lot of trouble once they too much behind percentage and over compensate like crazy. So to prevent this, they put a forced JP in the program.

I dont know how far behind the reflex was - i had it fully on auto play, so no boards - just gambling through the cash ladder. As I recall, it would do it consistently every £230-£240 afterwards - so sticking rigidly to percentage - but may well need to be behind to start with. That was probably back in the joys of lockdown.........

I have also managed Megs Streaks on consecutive boards on a Betcom - both were only for £100 though..... The reflex ones which are a bit Betcom like - you can also force for £200 - but it will give it off three credits, £100 plus £50 and £50. Its possibly THE best thing about emulation.

Plenty in the emulator - notable one getting Vamp It Up to repeat on JP ( it was over £300 behind percentage at the time). I like trying to "break" the emulator as it were - so playing for unlikely stuff is part of the fun. DOND east and west wing will spin in a JP on £100 if you get it far enough behind - don't think you seeing that IRL. Managed a £225 win on the three player Stars and Stripes. Red feature for £75, Hold £75, hold £75. Best I ever managed in real play was £75, £52, £75. Current project - getting Impulse's Big 50 to give £50! (or similar on the clone feature on Red Alert (Flaming Towers??)) - I feel this one may prove impossible.......

There are a lot (and of its clones like Super Streak) - its a Barcrest machine - so check the Barcrest section in both downloads and legacies

I agree with Vectra - there just isn't space for it anywhere sensible on that cab......

On Red Hot Poker - £6.00 JP - the cards are pre scripted - even if you change your holds at certain points.... You can exit with no RAM save and reload - the next ten or so cards will be the same at certain times when it wants to give a win. The fun thing here though, is that cos its a poker game - if you hold different things - you can get different wins! So 2 pair instead of a straight for example, AWP's were just Donald Ducked back in the day. This trend even continued to the £35 era - I have the video screen lo-tech Bullseye dart game saved at a point where it will give a streak of between £95 and £140 within the next 10 credits. It can pay it in very slightly different ways - but its always there. I also like getting a game close to streak - and seeing the different ways it will play out.
