Just gave it a quick go and yes it's a case of "reversing the reels" all 3 play reels plus the number reel....
Like Logopolis said,in mfme v20.1 go to design mode, click edit (top bar goes red) then right click on each reel and select properties... in the properties box click the top right "reversed" box... click apply apply box (bottom right)... once all have been changed (band 1,2,3 And 4 need to be changed) exit out of dialogue box and then click back on design tab and untick edit to return to normal mode.... enjoy game

Nintendo Wii are so cheap now (just picked up a red one with 2 wii motes and and 3 nun chucks for £15) and so easy to soft mod would defo recommend people getting hold of a real one... as for retro Mario kart it's a toss up between the wii version (using classic controller) and n64
not a bad effort for using a wheel (or wii mote for that matter) much better than i do with one ... i only use the classic controller myself
nice video, hope to see more pc based emulation with dolphin, I also highly recommend Redream dreamcast emulator (I paid the £5 for the pro version)

10/10 for mentioning EE mags, used to love that. Still got some back issues somewhere........... right I'm off to build an FM Transmiiter, a plantpot moisture tester, an RNG using a 555, and a car cassette power supply.
I posted a link to every back issue of ee//pee on page 119 of this thread

Looks like the last known company for Mr Palmer...

I believe the designer of that version of chip was a guy called Robin Palmer. From an interview he did " At that time my company, Chromatronics was based in Harlow Essex. However all our sales went through CEL Electronics Ltd; also my company. In 1981, the business moved to saffron Walden Essex, about 30 km south of Cambridge"....
If anyone is interested this is the link to that interview:

I am actually quite amazed I soldered well way back then with only a antex 25w mains soldering iron!!
sadly I don't think the chip will be any good, it doesn't play anything correctly now, its worse than when it was removed!
I think battery vapours have taken its toll on it!
I MAY even have the magazine inn the loft I made it from, If I do it will have a circuit diagram in it and I can look into seeing if its permanently bad, or if repairable

Just to add, a small request. Could we set our own keys for the arcade games down the line?
Off the top of my head I believe you can by using the "J" key to pull up the mame options menu, and using the q and a keys to move up and down the menu and "B" as the selection button, go to the "inputs for this game setting" , press "b" then highlight the buttons you wish to configure , press "b" to configure each button, and press the new key for each button you wish to configure when it asks , once done press "j" to exit back to the game... not sure if it saves the information or if you have to do it each time though.

Have you tried a different psu? if it's a new phenomenon it sounds like a motherboard / graphics card / or psu problem... I know when I had that problem on my old tower I was recommended to get a modular psu... no idea what that was so got a new laptop instead...

Real life always trumps all this, but nice to have you back all the same... how you managed any of this just blows my mind, so any progress is good progress, no matter how long it takes.
Thank you for all the hard work you put in

Geddy reminded me of this in Reg's burger time post, my mum worked this out pretty early on and could get to the kill screen on 1 credit, I on the other hand was rubbish at it

The first Spectrum game I played was a clone of this called "Mr Wimpey", that added a small arcade cross the screen game before you got to the burger time screen, both kind of remind me of MrDo's Castle

Indeed, back in the day, can't remember the magazine but they used to basically compare Arcade games to the 'home' equivalent. I remember them showing the maps for Pac-Man, that if you followed would never get eaten by the ghosts and showed a similar method for the Atari Home version in the same article.
The ghosts moved in a set way... they had a programmed way to decide which way to move in comparison to where pac-man was... you could use this knowledge to find certain spots on the map to "hide".... my mum could get to the kill screen on 1 credit... never knew it was a big thing living in Croydon... certainly could have beaten billy mitchell any day of the week (without cheating
)
Sure there will be a video on youtube explaining it (it's to do with the pixels in conjunction with pacmans position and each ghost only being to move a certain way at junctions, far to hard to explain in words even if I could remember the specifics) but it WILL melt your brain lol
