I remember one pub in Norwich had 2 of these back in the day. Just had them on my list as Juice, didn't know what the heck they were!!

Was that The Solar Power Generator?

I never thought Manic Miner would look so good after playing it on the Spectrum in the 1980's. It is amazing how we can still recall exactly how to complete each level.

The last one I played in the wild was in Andy's at Hunstanton. The machine company guy told him to get rid of it from his arcade!

This is a weird one. The Count Yer Cash layout is using the Fever sound roms. There is a sound rom 95008249.bin which says Count Y Cash sounds in Notepad but it does a sound prom error if you load it in the layout. I think we need the second sound rom which must be 95008250.bin but it's missing.

I found this MAB Systems rom which is titled VivaLasVegas. Notepad says MAB Systems, so it can't be Viva Las Vegas which is a Barcrest. The rom isn't actually in the rom dat. Anybody know which machine this is for? Unknown MAB Systems Rom not in Dat.zip

Oh, I have no idea. I wondered that too. I'm sure I heard the nudge tune in an old Jack The Ripper film. It was the Sherlock Holmes one where he goes in the huge pub in old London Town and somebody is playing the piano in there.

I know what you mean, the Round The Town nudges tune and the nudge gamble tune. Have you not downloaded the layout? The sound rom will be in there. Cops And Robbers used those piano tunes as well and there another clone called Along The Prom.

Thanks a lot for these Ginge. Also thanks again to DAD for getting the V101 rom working in the layout. I have a feeling the original error I encountered was probably the sec thing which might be different in the V101 and V202.

Sec is in the configuration. If switch 4 is on then you have to set the sec to yes in configuration. Not entirely sure what it is, maybe something to do with the coin mech? The bingo program is just a different profile where the machine might play slightly different. Also, the bingo program might only switch to 30p stake. Most program versions have a separate bingo rom which only has the 30p stake. We don't have a bingo rom for the V101 but we have the bingo roms for most other program versions.

The DIP switch 1 is on which means the bars are £10 and xs are £5. Yes, V101 has the bar win I mentioned in a post above and this is free which does not affect the percentage. You can see it's free because the 000 hold will still be there provided you are not taking wins and only taking this free win.

V101 is the unchipped version.

We actually have roms for 10 or 11 different program numbers. The rom in DAD's layout was V202 which is the rechip. I found the V101 rom and loaded it into the layout but it came up with some kind of error. I sent it to DAD and he got it working. These are the 2 different versions working. The Decals for the Bars and Xs are wrong but otherwise it's all good. Classic Slot both versions.zip

I just found in my notes what all the switches do. 1 on is Xs £5 and Bars £10. off is Xs £2 and Bars £5 2 on makes machine dim in attract mode 4 on is sec 7 on changes to bingo program 8 on is auto pay out 14 on is 50 credits auto play and if 15 on is auto play in demo mode 15 on demo mode without auto play but if 14 on is demo mode auto play 16 on and it goes blank

Ah Classic Slot! Yes, this is a machine with a full empty! The original program has a setup where it gives a £10 free bar win. You need the bar 2 above on the 1st reel and the bar 3 above 3rd reel. Then it should hold because 000 on the line, so hold reel 1 and reel 3. Bar drops in 2nd reel. The machine will give nudges. Use 2 nudges to bring the bar down on 1st reel and leave. Bar drops down 3 places on 3rd reel. The next program doesn't drop the bar down on the winline on the 3rd reel. The existing layout by DAD had the chipped program so I found the original rom and loaded it into the layout, but there was an error. I contacted DAD about this a couple of years ago and he got the original program running in the layout. The only thing was the bars awarded a £5 win as per the layout decal. So, I found the DIP switch to change the bars to £10 which is what they were in the arcades. I can't remember which switch it was off the top of my head. Basically the new layout just needs to change the bars to £10 and also the Xs to £5.
