    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! :)

    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.

    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:

    Processed / original:

    ...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....

    Would Joker Poker and clones run on mfme?

    Do you mean one of these three similar video poker games?

    None of them have the standard 'fruit machine prefixes' to the ROM names, someone could have a bash though, rom names are in the MAME window titles in the screenshots above.

    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...

    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.zip

    Very nice work, with the new buttons, the original ones on the bottom were practically blank I remember! :)

    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?

    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 ;)

    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 :)
    image.thumb.png.065d5bdbbd1e21206be5f9c4f43ddb46.png

    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:

    MPU2 - several cab side profiles.jpg

    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 :)

    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 ;)

    Im not sure if the german cabinet is taller or not, but for the rest its the same cabinet yes.

    Thank you about your compliment about the redraws.

    Thanks for the letting me know :)  I do various scaling adjustment to the models as part of process to get them converted to Arcade Sim, so when I get to some of your Dutch layouts in this cabinet base model (may be quite a while yet, but all planned), hopefully will be approximately correct dimensions :)
