Star Trekking by MDM.
Massive thankyou to;
@vectra666 for his assistance in helping to solve a few issues with lamps and excellent tutorage as usual.
@dad @WonkySausage @Tommy c @spa @serene02 @MPU_FIVE for contributing to questions regarding various parts of this machine that needed working out for a DX. Also @Wizard who without we would never have the joy we have here.
Controls are standard fare.
It's not 100% perfect, couple of lamps may be a bit off, also exchange points, no idea of how they light on original so omitted these as it's easy enough to use the alpha and didn't want to add in any more artificial bits than needed.

Barcrest's Weird Wolf.
Right, first things first. It's pretty janky. I could have spent more time and effort, but for the images available and that being the reason nobody wanted to embarrass themselve's with it, so I've taken one for the team.😂
Base image looked OK until lamping, so had to chop cash stack images from Vectra's Vamp It Up as using fonts it looked really out of whack. Symbols for the feature 'HOT' are actually stock images of jean rivets, FFS.😂 This whole thing is literally an exercise in me wanting the final piece of the Barcrest red and blue trail machines, regardless of how that was going to happen.
It's best on a laptop which hides some things better. Such as not masking the inner trails. I have other things waiting that are far more deserving of the effort really as this was never going to be perfect.
Added coin inputs 9=50p, 8=20p.
Massive thanks to:
@Mavroz for the classic and assisting with my questions and a really great conversation regarding MFME history etc. Top bloke.👍
@vectra666 for helping with advice and issues I had relating to lamps, and for the bits I pilfered from VIU.
@Amusements for a great resource for adding extra coin inputs.
@edwardb for really interesting thread on how anti stats code works and why on some machines a multiple coin input is a nessecity.
@infection for his archiving of images in Infections Images section. Always worth looking through just to find machines you may have forgotten about if nothing else.
Also thanks to the community on here that inspire doing this.
Anyone thinking of giving it a go should really consider it. If you choose something like this un DX'ed it kind of gives you a good chance to cut your teeth as at least it's something.

Vivid Connect 4 £25.
Here's the £25 variant. £8 and £5 to follow.
Massive thanks to;
@Tommy c for the original layout.
@infection for the images.
@WonkySausage for asking for this.
@logopolis for the decent ROM's.
I went with a lighter image, just because I think it suited the machine better. Can't believe this is from 2001, what times those were!
Also a big thankyou to @woodsy, @vectra666, @Tommy c, @dad and others who have put the time into helping me get to creating, still learning but these guy's and others have made it possible, so thankyou.

Battleships & Cruisers £25.
By Ze Frog in Bell-Fruit
First proper attempt with the clone stamp tool courtesy of @slotsmagicwho went above and beyond in creating a video tutorial for me.
Massive credit to classic creator, was no name attatched but i'm pretty sure @Clo06could be the creator so thankyou. Also @vectra666 for assistance and supplying another classic which was instrumental in some of the lamp numbers that were'nt on the original classic and providing extra material for the layout.
Still working on my patience as I try to slow down and focus on quality, I tend to get to a point where I just race to finish, not ideal for this kind of thing really.😂
Controls are standard format with guide in notes for anyone who does'nt know. Payout at 82%, realistic percentage for fruit machines by the sea at least or on the big resorts backk in the day, although probably far different these days with the handful of machines they do have.

Road Hog by Barcrest.
Road trip back to the 90's...if only.
There's a perfectly good example from @Ploggy, but this might be a little clearer on big screens just because the advances in image software and emulator since then.
Massive thanks to;
@vectra666 for his assistance in fixing a few snags regarding the hi lo reel and his pointers along the way when needed.
@steve phipps for the classic.
@Ploggy for the reels and original layout.
@slotsmagic and @dad for extra image resources.
And anyone in the thread pointing out things which were incorrect such as top glass sizing.
Controls are;
SPACE = Start.
` = Collect/Cancel.
1,2,3 = corresponding reel.
E = Exchange.
0 = £1
9 = 50p
8 = 20p
7 = 10p
6 = token.

Vivid's Bottle Bank.
From 2003, seems like so long ago now, what days those were.
Massive thanks to @Johnnyafc for the classic and reels.
My first attempt at blending lamps in this one thanks to @vectra666 teaching me how with Ace Of Clubs release.
Standard controls, only £1 input on this one as seems to be only option for MPU5, aside from £2, but that kept causing a STRIM error.

Astra's Fortune Teller £15 Jackpot
Fortune Teller by Astra, set on arcade settings with the option to gamble wins. If you want to set as bingo setting without gamble just go to edit mode with cash door checked, configuration and then alter. Have set this machine on 82%, about realistic for a lot of decent seaside arcades at least.
Massive credit to;
@captainhaddockfor the main image and allowing me to use his classic.
@vectra666for guiding me along the path ehen I have had questions.
@woodsyfor getting me started on the path of creation and providing Ps and the knowledge to use.
@Wizardfor this platform of joy and wonderment.
@infectionfor his wide array of images nicely compiled Infection Images section.
@dad@slotsmagic@Tommy c@spa@Clo06@Multi Retro Man and many others I have probably failed to mention for taking the time to impart knowledge and advice when needed.
Really a big Thankyou to everyone on the forum, to have a community so helpful and willing to assist people to achieve is absolutely amazing. If the world was like this forum we would be living in a Utopia. This isn't actually my first DX, I may release the first, second is kind of ongoing but not really great but will likely release at some point.
Quality will improve, only just getting used to Ps and laptop is a complete sack running old CPU, onboard graphics,very tempermental trackpad and a mighty 2GB of RAM!😂Goes to show its still possible though, and if computer illiterate like me can do this then anyone can, so hopefully this will inspire more to create.

Barmy Army by Barcrest.
Have not released anything for a bit, this machine already exist's but here's my version anyway.
thanks to;
@Johnnyafc for the classic,
@Ross for the original DX which inspired me,
@vectra666 as usual for answering questions and giving me pointers when required,
@Wizard for the emulator.
Standard controls, slight annoyance with step to nearest mask, but try as I might its persisting, but is pretty OK aside from that.

Empire's Club Tropicana.
Massive thanks to @Clo06 for the classic.
Also @vectra666 for teaching me a better darkening method, although I can likely implement better in future.
Also thanks to the community here as that inspires me to keep improving.

Jumping Jacks by Project.
This was something I was doing alongside something else I'd just started when Big Ghoulies caused me grief. Was literally just a test to see if I had sorted transparency in Photoshop.
Massive thanks to @Clo06 for the classic used as a base. @Wizardfor the emulator and everybody has has helped me along the path to creation.
This kind of thing I would never have imagined doing, computer based stuff really is'nt my strong point, but its gettting addictive. 😂
Controls are standard fare as per, was'nt quite sure what the deal with percentage setting on this was as no option to change. but seems to be around 80% after running a chunk of money through it.
