  1. BGT emulated would be amazing. They did some good games as you say...
  2. 'Our fruit machines...' - probably layouts nicked from here, or maybe you've got to install them all yourself. Not cheap either, and that's without any payout stuff added. Why do you need a coin mech for each hopper? I'd like to see a video of a real one rather than some 3D rendered artist's impression. The button panel angle looks way too flat. It looks like they're shut for medical reasons. I don't think I'd like to have paid for one last week, only to then read that red banner at the top today... To be honest I wouldn't mind something like this, but I would probably get bored of it after a while, even as die-hard a fruit machine fan as I am. Probably best to get one second-hand...
  3. Welcome to the site I assume the game you are talking about is Indiana Jones (Norway)? I've looked at the ROM archive and we only have ROMs for the German and UK versions of the game - So getting the ROMs dumped would be useful for emulation purposes. However, I'm not 100% sure if the game will run in the emulator. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't but there are others on here who might know for sure. We have a fair number of European members on here who have made layouts for a number of export machines. Looking around the site there was a guy called @jespersen1984 who mentioned he was looking at doing a layout for the game, and also @LitaHOF posted an image of their machine, so it's possible the ROMs are already dumped and out there somewhere, and maybe even a layout has already been done, but it's not on the site for some reason... Either way, hi-res pictures of the machine would come in handy for emulation purposes. You can never have enough good pictures of machines. If the ROMs need dumping then it would involve sending them away in the post for someone to read the files off, or you can buy a ROM reader and dump them yourself if you know how.
  4. It's in here - https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/files/category/63-pcp-legacy/ Click on this - then this - and then scroll down the list until you find it
  5. I've wondered the same thing recently - a way of extracting all the graphics, components and their properties from the blacklisted layout and then loading them into a blank one. I suspect the component data is embedded within the .fml and cannot be extracted.
  6. There's a layout here - Click the blue button on the right and choose the game from the list. Various layouts and ROMs will be in the downloaded folder

    Flying Shark

    Loved this on the c64. Great music by Jim Evans. Tough game because the enemy bullets were hard to see on the c64 version.

    Welcome to the site! Click this box on the right of the portal page to get yourself started
  9. There was also that JPM Casino Las Vegas game in the Vogue cabinet, which was a bit like Sonic the Hedgehog but with every single vestige of skill and excitement removed. My word that game was bland.
  10. You can't beat a bit of 2p fun So many great games back in the day - Rat Race, Lucky Lady, Aladdin's Cave, Blue Streak, Test Pilot, Spoof, Crack the Nut, Copper Run. Fantastic times!
  11. You'll find most of the 2p games you like in the Legacy Downloads section. First click on the Downloads tab on the front page - On the right you'll see the Legacy Downloads section. Click on (and 37 more) at the bottom - Choose your manufacturer, for example, BWB - Click on BWB #-Z - Then click on Download this file - This will bring up a list of all the BWB games that are emulated. Scroll down and click the blue Download button alongside each game you want - And it's as simple as that. Most games will have multiple layouts in the folder when you download them. Some were done 20 years ago, others much more recently and will look better than others, so just find the one you prefer and hide the others in Game Manager or delete them. Also look in the Layouts section in Downloads as you'll also find some very recent layouts of older games in there too. Welcome to the site and enjoy!
  12. I remember playing an £8 token jackpot version of RC which used to give Test Your Strength off Last Ride, and it would nearly always repeat afterwards (as long as you got the jackpot from it). I would go as far as to say I never saw it not repeat. And certainly there were versions of the £10 all-cash ROMs that near enough always gave the full £28.80 off Nemesis. There was a 20p play £10 cash Roller Coaster in a complete dive of an arcade called Sunnyholt Amusements in Brean Sands back in the late 90's and it used to absolutely love a Nemesis to the top. They had some good bits in there including a Wonderboy video-game on which I could make 20p last for half-an-hour. Sadly it was one of those places that was owned and run by a family of wankers who would ban locals or anyone who looked like they knew what they were doing, and despite trying to blend in by playing pushers, video-games and even holding a seaside bucket and spade I was clocked before long and was banned by the woman sat in the change kiosk, a fat dreadnought who looked like Biffa Bacon's Mum. The thing is, the idea of a guaranteed £28.80 Nemesis feature might be non-compliant as far as the technical standards go, but it made the feature much more attractive and the game more exciting. Who the fuck wants to gamble Waltzers for Nemesis when it might stop at £5.80? And besides, it was possible to get things like that past the Gambling Commission if you were clever enough and willing to think outside the box. For a start, the fact that you could hi-lo against the numbers and fuck it up yourself meant that you could set up a soak test of the game that would, on a 50/50 chance, go the wrong way once per credit break, meaning when the GC look at the results the average win from the Nemesis feature would be more like a tenner. But on-site the actual average would be close to £28.80 because of 'player skill'. It's a bit 'grey area' - you're making the credit-breaks pass 100% of the time and then the player controls the rest of the feature. You could squeeze that past the GC but then months later they'd tighten up the regs to stop people from doing it. Half the fun with designing games back then was trying to find creative ways of interpreting the regs differently to how the other manufacturers were at the time, to try and gain an edge over the competition. With the Test Your Strength 100% repeat chance, to get that past the GC you just show them the total number of TYS features won on the game overall, and the number of them that repeated - it's going to be way less than 50% because there was practically no chance of that feature repeating if you took it any other way.
  13. Road Hog £6 cash.zip Andy Capp £6 cash.zip These should work for you @Patman. Let me know
  14. No probs - if someone links me to a location on Drive I'll get them uploaded
  15. There's also a couple of random, reel-based IGT games on the site - Double Diamond Haywire and something else.
