    You're welcome. Just a daft project but hope you enjoy having a go.

    Thanks Gary much appreciated

    Yep I really enjoyed doing it - I've never really tinkered much with it before. Be aware the sound editor only works with P1/P2 files. I did have a quick look at making it work with other sound files but some are baked into the actual game file as well - which means any change in sound would require it to be the exact same memory footprint or it would knock everything else out. I'm happy to share the source of the sound editor if you wanted it so that you could use ChatGPT or whatever to enhance it if you wanted to spend a rainy afternoon messing around with it. Just give me a shout whenever if you ever want to go down that route

    This is just a silly remake of the original Andy Capp that I did as a project to teach myself how to tinker with MFME and to use in our "pub" (summerhouse). The pub is called Shenanigans, hence the branding on the machine. It tells the tale of me (John) trying to get to the pub whilst my ever-suffering wife (Angie) tries to stop me. It uses our voices instead of Andy/Flo from the original and I got ChatGPT to make a bit of Windows software that would allow for sounds to be replaced within P1/P2 sound files in order to achieve this. You can try that software yourself below. I thought this might inspire others to just do a few daft personalised machines as a talking point for wherever they play their machines and maybe help others learn how to tinker more with MFME.

    For my own cabinet I used an Ultimarc iPac as a USB encoder and an Ultimarc PacDrive for the LED driver. I'd not heard of a Reyans Zero Delay controller before. Maybe there are better solutions for cabinet building today as I've not researched it for quite a few years.

    Great work!! I love the artwork and the bottom LEDs. Looks really smart

    I think anyone can program nowadays with the advent of ChatGPT etc. Just tell it what you're looking for and it will be able to help.

    Not sure others machines but, for the one I built, I wrote a small accompanying bit of software that tracks the payout value in MFME and just pays out whatever it counts via two hoppers (£1 and 10p) - although it accepts payments from everything from 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 - so, you are right, for £4.80 in tokens or money it would just chunk out 4 x £1 and 8 x 10p but others might have added other functionality.

    I had a crack at "servicing" my hoppers. Only took 10 minutes. Not sure if I did it right as I was just trying to work it out as I went but thought I'd post it here in case anyone else finds it useful. I used a couple of alcohol wipes, a couple of cotton buds and a lint-free cloth with some furniture polish on it. I took photos as I went and annotated them so that you can see what I did. If you have more knowledge and can add other steps to these or correct me if I've gone wrong then I'm all ears.

    I needed a Clear Logo for my cab for this so had a go at knocking one up (it's rubbish but thought I'd post it here as if someone is looking for one it's better than nowt).

    Great machine. Feel sorry for Andy! I had to do a Clear Logo for my cab as I couldn't find one online. I did find someone else's logo though so just made it transparent and sharpened it up (can't claim credit for it!). It's here if anyone needs it.

    Thanks for this! Looks great. Very reminiscent of Each Way Shuffle I think. Look forward to playing it.

    Thanks for the link. I've got a quite a few of those touchscreen-type games (albeit the mouse controlled ones as I don't have a touchscreen) but didn't know we had a section here with them in. Will have a browse through. Cheers
  16. uptown47
    Nice one. I'll check those out then. Cheers.

    Hi all, I really like the old quiz machines that everyone used to gather around in a pub and shout "It's D mate" and then... "Christ Jim!! Only shout out if you definitely know it!!!" I know that we have Barquest, and Strike It Lucky. I wondered if anyone knew of any others? Cheers

    Looks amazing - great work Tommy. Thanks for sharing

    Thanks for this one Vecs - great work as always. Looking forward to putting it on the cab for a whirl

    Thanks Tommy - not seen this one. Looking forward to playing it. Cheers

    Amazing work!! Great machine! Thanks

    Yep I prefer silicon oil. I did use to use WD40 a lot until someone told me that it isn't actually a lubricant. But I'll get the hopper out the machine on Friday and have a proper look at them. It might obvious what to do. If I need to strip them down then so be it. It might even be that they don't really need maintenance but I doubt that. Thanks
  23. uptown47
    Yep that was my first instinct but ideally wanted someone to confirm. I'll probably give it until Friday and then give that a go mate. As the old saying goes... If it doesn't move and it should then use WD4O. If it moves and it shouldn't use gaffer tape.
  24. uptown47
    Thanks for that. Yep, I may need to clean up a lot of the 10p's as they have become very oxidised. I also could probably do with cleaning the coin mech as well but that will be the next question!

    Great layout - thanks for this. Much appreciated. Looking forward to playing it over the weekend
