agree. It works well for me, looks good and once you get the hang of it, only takes a minute or two add a new machine. Andrew has been massively helpful and is willing to add new features if they are feasible, making it a flexible front end too.

Have to agree with @davep180 thanks Andrew for the work you put in,although I think I’m still using one of the first releases you did, must download the latest version to see what changes have been made. I only use it for the fruit machine side as not got into mame or pinball yet did look into these but found reading up on them very daunting. I did download the latest version of mame the other day just to see what it’s all about still trying to work it all out, I haven’t downloaded any roms yet. I have a super console x which has a sd card in on the card there’s a folder that says mame and then in that folder there’s roms I’m going to try copying these over  to mame 2.40 which I downloaded the other day and see if it works.

[Ticket machines like dracula]

I used to work for UDC who distributed these types of machines from Dave Ellis`s company. its a standard fruit machine with a top box just like a golden game. i couldnt comment on the ticket emulation though.

We have numerous Ticket payout machines from Dave Ellis`s Eurotek they mainly work of pluto 6 boards which use compact flash cards. where I used to work had a adders and ladders rio cabinet which ran on mpu5 and if I remember correctly concept games did kits for scorpion4 genesis cabinets 2p play called tickety boo they also did some for the electrocoin casino cabinets like pound stretcher, don`t think these would work as they supplied a small board with a cr2032 battery in and a dongle with the tickety boo kit.

Lol 5000 tickets 

more like 10000 . There`s a lot of places going down the ticket route more so than cat d since the bacta guidence of under 18s must be with an adult to play them even though this is not law yet. Some places have even put the cat d machines in over 18`s area`s.

 Awesome work @johnparker007, reminds me of the mint arcade in Rhyl back in the day, having all these games in @Spidy21982 cabinet will look so . Have one question will I have to have Mame to play these ?. Never Dabbled with it is it complicated to set up ?.oops that`s two questions .I play most of these games on a super console x which has everything set up from the get go, I also have a bubble bobble themed 2ply button deck with pandora box dx which my wife bought me for Christmas from a company called bitcade it has just over 3000 games she paid £350, more money than sense .She must really love me .

I've just looked up the specs for your Lenovo m93p/tiny, it only has integrated graphics, so it will struggle.  There are some things that you can change that might  make it run a little better - set your settings to these:




That may help... though fundamentally, Arcade Sim does some heavy duty graphics stuff... so you may still be struggling - those settings are your best bet though  

Thanks for tips will give it a go tomorrow. The mpu4 cabinets look amazing @Spidy21982 for helping with the cabinets.

So, to confirm does it work sometimes, and not other times...?  Or does it now not ever work at all?

If it works sometimes, this is probably down to the laptop being slow/struggling to run it, perhaps the dll stuff is not running in time... though Andy Capp is only MPU4 so not very demanding.

Definitely my crappy laptop works sometimes . Just got to convince the wife I need to buy a new one wish me luck .Have put it on my bar top cabinet which has a Lenovo m93p/tiny with the specs below and it works fine but does sound as if it’s struggling a bit.

Hi John downloaded new arcade sim today  looks amazing and really love the new machines you have put in . This keeps coming up sometimes probably just my crappy laptop also comes up with the second picture, once I minimise the second picture it all works and you can play it, only does this sometimes others times works straight of as you would expect it to, have you any ideas why this is ? 

 

[Astra WOW Party Time Hybrid DX - launched next week ;) first peek!!]

Don’t know if these are any good,have some pics of manufacturers logos that go in the top of  @Spidy21982 cabinet.

 

[Project's Spot On]

A bit off topic couldn`t help but notice the H.B Leisure coin cup on the top. I worked for this company from 1989-2004.

personally, think you`r  phat application is bloated. why the fuck would u need a decent GPU to run something so visual and badly programmed.

i think, its lazy programming.

good concept, but excludes so many

So my pac controller fires all outputs as soon as i start the machine, it will only close down the outputs when mfme loads

When you ordered the pac drive did you order the special version ,not 100% sure perhaps someone else will clarify this also but if I remember the normal version has outputs on when powered up and special has outputs off.

Just transferred £20 to the bank account Jp .Already had you in my payees from previous donation.

Thanks @johnparker007 managed to get it working it was coming up with the below 

And when I went to downloads it was saying unconfirmed download had to open the downloads page and then keep the file before it confirmed the download then I got to the pages you posted. Looks amazing coming along nicely .

.  If the project gets super popular, then once the exe installer is stable/final I could in theory pay (~$400 I think it was) and get it signed.

If you get to this point I’m sure everyone will pitch in and donate. Are you still taking donations ?.can’t seem to find the page you set up.

How do I go about stopping this from being blocked I’m not very pc savvy. Please could some one help.

Anyone have an images for the buttons higher lower, etc the buttons i have dont have all the same type of font

Checkout this thread  lots of different images  and lots of button legends may help.

[50,000 Retro games.]

I bought a 128gb 41000 games version on eBay last month paid £80 with two wireless controllers. Not really played about with it yet the controllers feel cheap.This is my first console like this and didn’t think much of it so far, could just be me expecting a bit more.Don’t know much about the technology but think it runs on something called Emulec and a lot of the games run on is it retroarch if that makes sense to anyone.

[Autoplay button activation]

its funny people who made these games refuse and ignore my question like arcades and bingo halls turn the autoplay button off. Tell me or i will revoke my donation on paypal and close my account until people who made these games start telling people how to activate the autoplay button. If not, BYEEEEEEE

 what a ungrateful little prick.
