Looking forward to this. I’m overdue a laptop update anyway. Currently on a GTX 1050 but will be getting a decent spec RTX at some point.

The Arcade sim is what it is and I'm guessing that no further updates will be issued. Instead work is being done on software called 'Oasis' which looks like its comng along very nicely but like anything else it'll take time. I'll leave it to @johnparker007to fill you in with the finer details. p.s. Space Invaders works fine on my Laptop.

Either load each slave seperately and use Alt + L to link them, or just download the layout again. If you want to link them yourself then you'll need to click anywhere on the top box before pressing Alt + L. Then it a case of positioning the slaves to match the Top Box. If you're not familiar how to do this then I suggest just downloading the layout again as I mentioned before.

Converting from MFME 5.1 to MFME 20.1 normally works straight away. Occasionally Hoppers need attention as do sounds, it all depends on the machine in question. We can fix all issues but need to know which machine is at fault and what the error is. It's usually something simple

Could it be either Dialtone, Re-Animator or Guitar? They are the only coders I know who would spend time on Fruit Machines. The Video at first I thought was fake but looking at it again I'm pretty sure its genuine. However it's one thing converting a SC5 layout to a SC6, what about Dev tools etc.. I feel that if a full blown emulator release is forthcoming It'll be a long way off, but I'd love to see it.

Haha! Yeah the first dad DX. I’d have to troll through a load of old laptops or CDs to even find it again. It wasn’t speed throttled either so it ran too fast on anything faster than an old Elonex sx386 which I think I used when coding it. I loved messing about coding stuff back in the day. I actually got a city & guilds games programming certificate in 1991 IIRC.

Surely you remember my DOS based fruity from 96?? IIRC I wrote it in BASIC and It worked like a charm - exactly like Each Way Nudger I sent it in to PC Format and got no reply - BASTARDS lol

The missus & me stayed up while 5 in the morning after getting the Codemasters Fruit Machine Simulator for the first time on the speccy! I must have played that to death over the years. Fruit Sim 2 was OK too! In fact I think I played every single Fruit machine sim going, some were pretty good some not so. As for Dizzy, they were my favorite games. I coded an infinate lives cheat for Dizzy 7 using my multiface and sent it to Your Sinclair or Crash. Not sure if it ever got published but it worked just fine. Its a very long time since I poked anything

Yeah that was on the image so I left it there on purpose. Thought it was a nice touch.

I'd be happy to but I would need slightly better images, plus I don't appear to have the sound rom for Crazy Cash.

Knocked this together just for summat to do this morning. As you can see I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it On a side note its weird that the reel lights go out when using Autoplay!! Crazy Bar DX.zip

Thank you, any images are better than non. This is fairly low resolution but I'm sure it could be made into a DX with a bit of work. Anyone fancy the challenge? @vectra666

Normal LEDs are programmed into MFME and can be used to control both lamps images and reels. MUX LEDs unfortunately are not, so a workaround had to be found for those lamps like they were in Sharks of the Caribbean. I’ve done loads of layouts that use this ‘overlay’ workaround which is the only solution I can come up with. Plus I’ve still not found any way of using MUX LEDs in reels and I’ve tried EVERYTHING! Thanks must go to @Pookwho came up with the idea of using transparent overlay’s first in his monopoly layout.

That's brilliant and works like a charm. Thanks matey

The message “Your PC doesn’t meet the required standard” for Windows 11 doesn’t mean you can install it, or if you do it won’t work. I think it’s more likely they’re covering their arse in case there’s some driver issues. I've been running it for three years now without a problem on my I5 laptop with a GTX 1050.

Enter Design/Edit mode, then click Configuration. In the pop up window (top right) you should see the Service & Cash door switch numbers 39 & 38. Delete/Clear those then reset the machine by pressing Ctrl + R on your keyboard. You can then enter test mode in the usual way by checking door 'S' and using the test button (press once for freeplay, twice for test mode). Hope this helps

Delete the 38 & 39 from the door switches in config then reset the machine Ctrl + R. You can then enter test mode in the usual way by checking door 'S' and using the test button (press once for freeplay, twice for test mode).

Correct. I rarely use an existing Classic these days.

The sound rom is SC4 and the program roms are SC5. It clearly states this in the added 'txt' file. Do you not check these things? [EDIT] These are the SC2 roms.......no sounds though. Casino Bar 7's (Bellfruit) [Rom].zip

I gave it some time last night but didn’t get very far. I’ll have another look tonight. its very strange that DIP 8 controls the motor steps. I’ve never come across that before!
