Either my memory is completely shot, or something weird is happening under emulation (and possibly only to me).
On almost every Barcrest machine, the 'taxi' bonus often (but not always) behaves in an odd way, in that when it stops going in one direction and reverses, it flips off that last square really quickly.
Does anyone else see this? It didn't used to be like this on the actual machines, did it?
I'm not sure but there was an issue with the shortcut key for the Mr. Barcrest button on some machines. I think it was something to do with the shortcut B or M. Can't remember exactly.

Yeah you have to go to Design then Edit Mode. Then open configuration and you can change the Data Pak to yes.

That 71 error looks like they are data roms. It means you have to go in configuration and tick where it says data pack or something similar. That could fix it.

Hold down the shift key and then put the mouse cursor anywhere on the machine and then you can drag the whole thing.

Pretty much as the title says really. Haven't played anything in many a year but whilst socially in the pub, bemoaninng the Barcarest machines that used to be in the place of the iPubs they have everywhere, I was wondering whether any were worth playing these days and is there somewhere useful to get information on them?
Apologies in advance if this sort of question is frowned upon but do bear in mind this was posted in the Newbies section for a reason
Best to play them on reset. Other than that the games don't really get much play and will always have the same last win them for weeks.

Dough Ho Ho also worked in the same way and Butch Cashidy.

There is an empty method on Can You Beat The Banker £25 early program. I'm not sure if Degsy covered this one in his videos.

Nothing in the rom dat for this.
-
Some older MPU4 need to be changed via the switches.

Pure Madness £70 by Empire is one I always wanted to see. Cash Box £70 by Empire has a layout so I assume Pure Madness £70 can be emulated

Play on 30p stake then.

You can get £70 Jackpot on the Revolver feature. Hit the 12 5 on the number reel for it to step up 17 times to £70. The proper way is to hit 6 12 which is 18 steps for Mega Streak.

top one is banging away or global i am pretty sure
4 is vivid v similar to 6 shooter
I was thinking along your lines but then I noted there were 4 hold buttons which made me think of club machines. Maybe the 4th hold button is just a spare button then.

Most of them are club machines because there are 4 hold buttons.
The second one with 5 holds is definitely Hot Hot Hot as infection said.
-
Cannonball Run can shuffle the Jackpots there for Super Hold. If there is no win available on Super Hold (and also 3 numbers in a row isn't there) then it will step 2 up and 2 down. You can get Jackpot from this kind of setup.

I mentioned a few things in the comments on the YouTube video. All the rooms you explored up to the 12:45 mark are what I consider the basic level rooms. That room at 12:45 is kind of a stepping stone to the next level which is probably 90 % of the whole game and where the puddings are distributed. Although it's not unknown for a pudding to be somewhere in the basic level of rooms.
The best strategy is to concentrate on replenishing your energy by hitting the correct things. Good things to eat are Dragonflies, Wasps, Birds, Bats etc. Then the bad things are balloons (as you said) and those oysters with legs. For example if you enter a room with all bad things then it's a good idea to go back and re-enter the room and hope for all good things to manifest. Especially in those rooms where there isn't much space to dodge the bad things!

Never seen this game before. It's basically Jet Set Maria! I have a feeling it will be slightly more difficult to avoid the security guard's arrows!!
On your previous Jet Set Willy video I notice you didn't jump up the ladder in the Ballroom East. This leads to East Wall Base and eventually the Emergency Generator at the Top Of The House. There is another "hidden" room, if you go up the rope in We Must Perform A Quirkafleeg, it will lead up to Watch Tower which has a few flashing objects to collect. I never figured out how to actually survive in the Entrance To Hades room where it flashes DIE MORTAL.
Another platform / adventure game I used to play a lot and actually completed was Pud Pud In Weird World. It's a huge game (bigger than Jet Set Willy) with over 100 rooms and 8 objects to collect before you find your way out. The 8 objects seemed to be a theme as this was the number you had to collect in Dynamite Dan also.

Ah yes, it was Cash On The Lash that said Clever Clogs. That and Cash Explosion I used to play for hiddens as it would often give Hit The Top / Biff The Bouncer even when not that happy (it wedges from the 7 to the 12 I think, so if you can exchange to hiddens on a 7 it helps). If it opens the super board you could play for Skill Spins / Firkin Hot, but the third reel slips so you need a pot on the line (I tried wedging it and it definitely slips). It tends not to give nudges once you have the feature lit so the best thing is to either get enough shots to guarantee it and get the nudges, or be on nudges on a good number and take shots, then hilo to put the pot on the line for the feature.
Cherry above the green bar 4 on the 3rd reel for the wedge wasn't it? It did work but maybe that was on early programs. Hidden feature skillstop you could hit it on bonus 4 and it then finished it off itself? Or am I dreaming about that.

I did better on the £35 jackpot Cluedos than the £70. The £35 ones often had value but the £70 always seemed to lose at the hi lo cash area which means it's dead. Probably due to the longer recovery time on the £70.
Other games like Bedazzled and Cash On The Lash were decent too. The only one I didn't play out of those mentioned was Trail Blazer. I think I only seen one of these in the wild. The Impulse Trail Blazer was good though. They would spin 1s and 12s if they had decent value.

So here is the video. This is straight from the RAM reset with it set to 80% pay out. I haven't put chapters in because there are many different phone traps in here. Eventually you are hoping for a good box or a good swap box. If you have a bonus when you play Deal Or No Deal then you are guaranteed a swap box at the end.

I was not aware of that.... TBH though - I only ever saw one - in an arcade - it was not a general release round here....
There were a couple floating around in holiday camps round here. Also another one that would turn up in a few pubs.

Was never a fan of this - seems quite well controlled - especially all those "I will not Deal" boards......
Ha not at all. There are several ways to trap phones when it doesn't want to give them. I have made a video which I haven't yet released on YouTube because there might be a few of these about still. Actually I think I might release it, why not! These never got upgraded to £100 and I don't know of any about anymore.

Loaded the £70 roms into the £35 classic layout and set it to 80%. Has value from the RAM reset but soon loses that value once you get some decent wins. I'm in a bit of a battle with this trying to get ahead. Over £2000 in and still keeping with it.

In the green zone, the Stop A Fruit feature sometimes lets you eliminate a reel but not always. Does anyone know if there's a way to tell before collecting it? It makes a big difference.
Looks like it's random.
Temple Of Treasure (Barcrest) - Any earlier ROMs than 0.5 available?

This is a bit complicated because we have lots of different programs.
The DX will be running TOTR 0.5 which is a £5 and £15 program. We do have TOTR 0.4 £5 and £15 which can run with no problem in that DX.
There is also TOT2 0.2 and TOT2 0.3 which are both £5 and £15 program but if you try and run it in the DX then all the lamps are wrong.
Then we have T1TR 0.1 which switches to £25 so this is obviously a later program.
Finally we have T1TR 1.0 and T2TR 1.0 which switch to £25 so these are later programs.
