@vectra666 "Does anybody have any A. roms and B. images for the £10 original Andy Capp in the blue cabinet "
You may have luck checking in the Fruit Machine ROM Archive?

Imagine a laptop with an 8K screen.... that could rotate. Now that would be awesome
Those 8k rotatable monitors are expensive now, but give it another 5 years...

Then we can really get into the next gen of 'retina resolution' layouts!- 1

Nice work Tommy, thanks - classic machines these ones
For future ref, there's a potentially better quality image source on the Community Drive (http://tinyurl.com/yckze665) for this one - might be useful for a future ultra high res 8k version or summats with some fettling, like this I did from a quick edit:
Right I'm off to have a quick play on your layout for some nostalgia!- 2

I have a Rom card with the 10p £5 version roms hopefully going to send to @slotsmagic next week sometime with some other roms as he kindly volunteered to dump them. Looks like the tech is Pluto 5.
Nice one!

Hey @vectra666 nice layout from @spa's arcade photo!
I had a very quick tweak with the blance on the reel image, in case you want to use them, no worries if not Here's the comparison under the lamp masks in the layout:

...and here's the MFME .fml with the updated reels if in ya want it

Haha @Ginge pulling practically DX ready photos out I see manufacturer Project, unsure if a newer platform than current FME? Looks like a basic video ROM with probably an existing controller for payout etc... hard to say if/when will be emulated suspect it's a platform not yet covered... it all starts with ROM dumps and board photos/specs....

I couldn't find anything either but the following comment from riche100 over at the mecca got me thinking there may be one floating around: 'alan road runner has dumped my rom and will stick in downloads, soon as he can for anyone interested'.
I looked at all RoadRunner's uploads, none of them were the rom unfortunately - I see you added a comment over there, maybe they'll turn up.
In the meantime, there's always even more queen games lol

Queen image from the video - so at least I won't need to be doing 3d modelling for this one! Couldn't see any roms unfortunately, I did have a poke around...

Hey @Jamie28J
We don't have roms, but I've found yet another queen game! A guy Riche is selling it on the Mecca, here's a couple of photos:

I am sure it was called zillionaire's challenge by pure leisure, and the jackpot was £25.
there should be a classic of it somewhere.(maybe in the legacy section?)
Holy smokes, it's another queen game! Was indeed in legacy section:

Looks good @vectra666 I have AI upscaled those new reels, and updated the layout with those new high definition reels, looks much sharper (especially on portrait monitor or 4k monitor) - here's the zipped layout, only updated the 4x reel images, not touched anything else, so hopefully easy to update your release:
Add a Note £4 Dx+UpscaledReels.zipVery nice work, with the new buttons, the original ones on the bottom were practically blank I remember!

Here's before/after, some slight graininess that's not been resolved, but it does look better I think:

All cash on these barcrests plays a better game it’s what I remember from chip shop days in 90’s Nickelodeon is great on £2.40/£3 cash they another I must update sometIme I’ll have to ask @johnparker007 to upscale on of those layouts??
I've just checked, @Tommy c did a version around the same time that had a (different?) higher resolution base image - note the buttons are legible on the TommyC (left) image but not the Vectra (right) image. I think if possible you'd get a better result with an upscaled version of Tommy's image, since it has more detail?

I really like these flat crisp designs - bloody amazing - thanks.
@Amusements's full redraws are excellent

Nice
I did actually use to play the 2p Sunset Boulevard back in the 90s, it was in the front area of an arcade known locally as 'Big Smithies' (as Mr Smith also owned another, smaller arcade on the next corner of the same block - that one was known as 'Little Smithies').
If you have more of these MPU3/4 ROMs with chr problems, feel free to sling them my way, and I can have at least have a try, though I can't always do them with what I did on this one (I couldn't do Vectra's one the other week), so no guarantees of success- 1

Looks really good, nice work! I've added to the machine requests sheet, I'm tied up for quite a while working on MFME Extractor improvements/MAME Xml/config generation/other batch generation system, so no new machines for a while as I focus on that. But some of these tasks are of benefit to Arcade Sim in various ways, it's all worth doing
List is here:

Hiya
'Side profile' images are hard to come by, us you have or can get side profile images of some of these older cabinets that will be useful for building a 3d model of them, to ultimately end up in the arcade. I put together this rough image to show how best to take a side profile photo, with what a good one looks like
We then can 'trace' that 'flat' side image in the 3d software, provides a great starting point for building the cab to correct proprortions.
I do have this photo lurking around, not ideal, but probably a good starting point if we can't get a flat profile:
Also overall length/width/height dimensions are useful, but not critical as these can be derived now from photos of these cabs near other cabs with known dimensions.
Thanks for any side profiles etc you can hunt out -
Amazing layout, great work on the redraw
@GREDDIEAt some point we will get cabinets made for these old 'SRU' (?) type machines, and I will get some time, and they'll be able to go into Arcade Simulator- 2
-
Thanks for making it nice and high res! Been a bit busy with real life stuff of late, and had practically no time for Arcade Sim coding - I do have that cabinet made though, and the layout looks like it should convert with current process, might see about getting this in as a one off later

Andy's Great Escape £6 cash/token - £10 20p Larger Dx's
in Barcrest
Posted · Edited by johnparker007
The Fruit Machine ROM Archive only contains ROMs (an online mirror of @Geddy's full collection). It is separate to the Community Drive, which only contains images.
I'm unsure about images, but there appears to be a great many Andy Capp ROMs available in the Fruit Machine ROM Archive, so you might find that £10 ROM you requested
Sorry for confusion, they're two separate projects:
[ Community Drive ] The drive: http://tinyurl.com/yckze665
[ Fruit Machine ROM Archive ] The archive: https://tinyurl.com/3jhzbueb
Hope that clears things up!
