  1. ACE COIN - BAND AID FREE WIN HACK

    I haven’t.  But then, I haven’t played the £6 versions much in MFME (with the exception of Pay Rise which is the 01 program with spot the ball).  I never liked the £6 program, obviously the lines were fixed by that point, but also the Nudge TIme feature was ruined for the £6 versions - just another example of a jackpot upgrade ruining game play of previously good games.

    Wasn’t the big streak chipped out at some point?  The recent video by @Chopaholic suggested it was.  Maybe an experiment with autoplay might settle the issue?

    I don't recall getting the streak on any of the machines that were upgraded from £4.80 to £6. I really only played Pay Rise seriously out of that bunch.

    I don't remember seeing Grand National, with the streak chop shared recently, or Circle Line on anything less than £6.

    you can get cheapish refurbished window tablets with touchscreens that work quite well which is something i did.I bought it just for mfme to have the touchscreen landscape experience.

    Even if you could get in on a phone it would be quite small.

    At one time i had a shadow pc so could load that up on any  android phone via the app but it became expensive and uneconomical to run so i dropped it.Ok for lo-tech 

    i also had it running on windows on the steam deck lcd version as well as the great arcade simulator but doesn't yet work on the oled version as there are no sound drivers available and that trips up mfme.Hopefully they will come soon was looking forward to playing them on the oled. 

    So there are options for a portable mfme.

    Same. I have an old surface tablet my son discarded that's perfect for mfme

    I am as certain as I can be after all this time, that Pay Rise spot the ball worked on the £4.80 version that had the lines fixed, before the £6 ‘upgrade’.  I’m sure I remember doing it, I can remember the feature occasionally offering 480P - an amount which the £6 version just did not offer.  

    It did indeed. I can still hear it.

    Da da da da da da da da da da da da da dah!

    Similar to me Mike. Loved the Aces and Donkey Kong was great too.

    DOND WIYB was probably the last full emptier I had.

    After that you're looking at manipulations rather than a full empty because I was working rather than a player and the machines were starting to be connected to the internet so you had to be on it immediately.

    @MikeP I did some play on the original 02 and this does in fact rolls lines straight in on the reels.   I've done more work on making the hack a little more elegant to reflect the 02 version.  I've found jump routines that the 004 doesn't do in the lines win scenario.  The 02 software sends it off to a jump point, looking at the 04 the data is unchanged in this region and matches the 02 code, so the fix is somewhat of a hack just to get those line wins accounted for.  This is what I'm preventing it from doing.  Anyway, am trying this new way to see if things work a little better.  Now my 04 is doing pretty much exactly the same as the 02 on line wins :).

    The challenge might be that some of the other machines were completely overhauled code base wise, though I doubt it, the line fix looks like a quick fix to get an update out, I mean there was also an 03 £4.80 Open the Box so the code hasn't changed an awful lot, just those free wins patched out, rerouted.

    I'll try and get another version uploaded later today with the new method.  I'm hoping I can clone this technique over to other machines, I'll certainly give it a try, as long as I can get this kicked into shape.

    Great thread this. As I'm sure many here are fed up of hearing I financed my uni degree by emptying ace machines, but I was nowhere near as expert at it as some others. I simply only took line wins which kept being available on the exchanges even after it forced jackpot wins on me. 

    I'm not technical at all, but to me it would seem to be a simple one extra line of code to make sure the machine counted any band aid wins as well as reel wins, and tightened up once it started getting over the RTP.

    But given the guy who wrote these programs went to jail for leaving this exploit, maybe he buried it a bit to make it harder to fix once discovered.

  6. Celebration Club won't pay its pot

    in Emulator Chat

    Posted

    Turns out it did pay the pot about £5,000 ago, but I exited without saving the ram to see if it would come back straight away like Super Blackjack Club does, but it's now had nearly £10k and hasn't paid the pot. 

    I've had a couple of jackpots gambling up wins and a couple from hi-lo notes, but no red bars.

    You definitely can't climb the pot out of this one in regular play (although again in the wild every now and again it would give you a 2 or an ace on hi-lo notes), but it should do its special spin and drop the pot in on the reels. 

    I'll try playing with 50p coins for a while

    Anyone know if there's a dip switch which makes/stops old Barcrests paying the cash pot?

    I've put nearly £9,000 through Celebration Club and both pots have been maxxed at £150 for as long as I can remember.

    In the wild these things would reliably pay the pot as a jackpot when the reserve was about ¾ of the jackpot value.

    Current config is all the top switches dipped which supposedly makes the payout 88% even though it refuses to go above 84, and the lower just 2 is switched which is auto hold suggestions.

    Hi everyone.    Normally I tend not to play the Deal or No Deal games, but today I've spent most of the afternoon on Can You Beat The Banker £35 jackpot by @vectra666.

    Great machine! I found myself trying out all the features, and trying to get a double mega streak (if that's possible!).

    Just wondered what everyone's favourite Deal or No Deal Machine is?

    @Chopaholic Can You Beat the Banker would be a great video for your excellent YouTube channel!

    🙂 

    Golden Game is the best DOND.

    Considering it was largely considered one of (if not the) worst DOND ever, i'd go with The Power 5, purely due to the trick to get DOND practically every board (unless it landed on Game Over)

    Of course if you dont know, just hold down "Play DOND" and press collect any time it landed on a Mystery square.

    Again, that just HAD to be a deliberate mistake by the dev.

    From experience it will happily let you climb out those pots again 🤣

    I remember only once in the wild climbing to the pot when it was about £25, but stupidly gambled for the jackpot instead of collecting £75 on the exchange. 

    Miraculously it allowed it, and span in the bells.

    Talking about machines being behind, played super red bar £100 £1 play concept roms classic yesterday. Already has a settled rom so was playing a cycle, normally comes every £800 profit not 800 in so takes a good few spins and play through. Yesterday it took over 2500 and ended up with my rtp at 81% it caved after a combo of wins and cash inserted at around 4000 in then the streak was spread apart it was still making why paying out, those updated 88% fixed roms from concept are a disgrace.

    Crazy days. 

    I never really touched the lo-techs having shoved about £30 through a 777 heaven while at uni without a single win. That was a lot of money in 1990.
