Back in the early 2000's, in work, we set up an old 486 processor based PC with Windows 98 on it. Back then in work, the internet was off limits for non work wise, as it still wasn't seen, as pretty essential in life. So It wasn't connected to the internet, but I put MAME and MFME (which was actually called MPU3/4 emulator then) on it. It was great for playing during breaks and downtime during night shifts. I guess you can have an old Windows 7 computer and not have it connected to the internet. There may come a time, when a Windows version comes out and MFME stops working on it. I'm pretty sure many members will have by then an old Windows 10/11 device, to make sure they can still use it. I certainly will.

If you have issues with the layout in v20.1 I uploaded a fixed version in this thread.

Have you looked through the Barcrest Gallery. Sort by caption if you want alphabetical. Of course it wouldn't be uncommon for another manufacturer to rip off the idea https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/gallery/category/8-barcrest/

I'd actually be interested as well. I never liked Cash Counter, but lots here did, so hopefully someone will know it, as I don't remember any such machine and probably would have avoided it.

Just open up the cash door, let it initialise and then during its message on the aplha, it should show the target percentage.

Surprised no one has answered this, but no is the answer. The only real restriction, is the technology that the machine runs/ran on, being emulated. There's not many, but some older techs and a couple of the newer techs from 2011 onwards, can't be, or haven't been emulated yet. I think most companies, with the exception of Nintendo, realise that you are not going to stop emulation.

I got this, as one of my first Speccy game and one that would run on 16K (although I had a 48k model from the start). I remember reading a while back, that Retro Gamer magazine, were hoping for an interview with the game author. Can't remember if they did, get it in the end. Overall it's a pretty simple game, but I didn't care, as I had a ZX81 beforehand.

The admin @pete_w will be able to assist with that.

Back in the day, I used to have my collection on CD, still have a few CDs on my shelf with them on. Eventually I then moved to USB drives and then sticks. Now it just about fits onto a 32GB drive, with another slightly outdated collection on my laptop As for Ebay discs, well they've been frowned on for years. But I'm still 50/50 with that, as it's the easiest way to start, but do think then going forwards people should support the scene and not ebay sellers.

A very tricky/hard game whenever I've tried it. The Atari 2600 version, isn't as hard.

I'm probably being thick but what's the connection between quiz machines and Scorpion 6 fruit machines.
