greetings from down under peeps!
I love this idea all!get a bit of a leader board going! Would deffo take part and contribute to this.
How about getting a jackpot on a really tight machine! Or getting a jackpot with nudges only!
so many ways to skin a cat!
Judging from the few replies, I'm not sure it would be worth spending days and weeks, creating anything like this. I might have a go at starting something, when I have a bit of time to get a head start on it.
I'm not that great when it comes to presentation of these sort of things, so it would probably just be a simple text document.
Also from the beginning, decisions need to be made as to whether everything should just be lumped together or something like by Tech or Manufacturer. I was definitely thinking separate Club and AWP list and possibly, a hi-tech/lo-tech separation also. I was a 99% AWP player and 90% hi-tech player, back in the day, so that's would be the area I would focus on first.

I think he'd be very happy to see FME still going on and new machine discoveries being made.
Also that this site is still very active and generally running very smoothly and new people discovering the wonderful MFME.

I was thinking about this sort of thing the other day strangely.
Some of my friends over the years who I have shown or got into FME over the years, say, what's the point, fruit machines, are gambling devices, so if you take away the gambling element, with unlimited credits what's the point.
Or say in the case of later era's people just force machines, so they never see the features.
So what I was thinking, was trying to set up more of an achievement/medal type situation like on Xbox/Playstation.
So you have bunch of machines and you have to various challenges on them. Some challenges need to be done in a single play, some can be either in one or many session and some could take many playthroughs.
An instance on the machine below, picture attached, so we know what machine we are talking about.
Trivial Pursuit (Maygay M1a/b tech)
1/ Get let em spin 5 times in one session.
2/ Get a Cherry win off a let em spin.
3/ Get a Double Bar win off the nudges during the feature.
4/ Get the £7 win off the feature board.
5/ Get 777 Heaven feature off the Go for Gold.
6/ Get Cash Falls off the Go for Gold.
7/ Get the Big Win Repeater.
8/ Get the Jackpot.
9/ Get the Super Jackpot and it repeat.
10/ Have a £10 profit in a session.
11/ Have a £15 profit in a session
You could attach points to each part or you could just tick them off when done.
I'm sure people could come up with quite inventive ones, where perhaps a certain feature is hardly ever red, so could take a good few hundred quid through to get it. It could also lead to people discovering machines for the first time or revisiting a machine you forgot about. Finally on the larger jackpot machines, it makes it a bit more interesting then just going for the jackpot.

Here's the roms. Crack on and make one.
Drac in the Box S5.zip 2.21 MB · 0 downloads Monster Money Cat C S5.zip 2.45 MB · 0 downloads
Not sure the original poster will do them, but good to see they can be done, if they haven't already.

This is the last version that worked on Windows versions from XP (possibly even 95/98) to Windows 8.1.1.
It's v6.1.
But any layouts produced in later versions v19 and v20 will not run in V6.1.
So basically any layouts done after July 2019.

Yep dicks missing a sound rom like classic spotted dick, like the way they’ve cheaply done the £5 decals making the £5 jackpot far to small
The Epoch emulator development page, say YES to sound roms for Return of the Dick, so good chance, someone may have them.
I couldn't find the program roms even, to try to do a mute classic at least. But then I only look at a couple of site for roms, in the Mame section.

You have +5 rep, and have been a member for a year, so yes, you must have posted before to get the rep.
You can donate, on the right hand side of the portal page, it's well worth it.
-
If the roms are available they could be done.
Although I do seem to remember something about Return Of The Dick in the past, possibly no sound roms so couldn't be done.

You are talking about electro-mechanical machines, which possibly can be emulated. But you'd need the schematics diagram for the machine at the very least.
Current fruit machines and those from the late 70's have rom chips for programs and sounds to tell them what to do and the emulator, reads those roms.
But before roms, it was very different. And basically the roms are replaced in the emulator, with information inputted from the schematic diagrams for electro-mechanical machines. But that's just the basics of it.
We do have a few electro-mechanical machines emulated, such as the one in the below video.
Watch our members chopaholic video (Harry Headwound on Youtube). Even if you don't want to watch it all, at least watch it from 29:05 for about 5 minutes for an explanation on how this machine was emulated.
-
You'll find it on the portal page to the right. Well worth it for the amount of downloads available.

I was looking for this version but could not find it?
thanks Ronnie
This is a Dad DX layout, so was released at Dad's site
https://dadsfme.com/index.php?topic=846.0
Sign up for free if you don't have an account, you'll find a lot of releases, that may not be in the regular downloads here.
On DIF, you will find them in the legacy layout section, but you need to be a donator to access that area. But you will find hundreds of layouts, not in the main download section, in the legacy section.

Never had this game, but my mate was obsessed with it.
He managed to complete it and he wasn't great at computer games either.
Whenever we reminisce about the past and our game playing days as teenagers, he always mentions Bugaboo.
-
Not seen this one before either.
My first Spectrum experience was the Horizons tape around my mum friends house. I remember when it said press a key to continue. And I didn't, so got the error message. Which to a 13 year old me, I thought was great.
Got my first Spectrum soon after and it came with just the horizons tape and leads/manual. Although Whsmiths, did include a couple of games with it at the time, nothing official, just their own bundle.

Never heard of it, but definitely, if I had a PS back in the day, it would have been a game, I would have played a lot.
Quite clever how they managed to keep the draw distance to an absolute minimum as well, with tight courses.
Back in the days, when the sight of that cable car, would have bought the exact reaction you had to it.

there was a post on it when Jeeves (undercover name) changed to Wizard when he released MFME. He had mpu6 cracked
I must have missed that through all the excitement of MFME getting a release after many years.
At least it shows it's possible perhaps in the future with another emulator or MAME.
-
MFME, was a one man project and sadly that man died in 2020. https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/forum/71-wizards-rest/
MPU6 had security that needed to be cracked. Perhaps it was cracked, but not included in the public release of MFME, because of being a current tech. There are a few older techs where the security has never been cracked.
But for MFME it's a case of we will never know, if MPU6 or these other techs would have been incorporated into it. MFME is in its final state, so we will have to either see a new emulator for MPU6 or it emulated in MAME at some point.

Thought u on about machine based on it found this yes it a big file as it a UHD flyer
Too new for this era of machines.
There is an old classic layout for the machine, but it's mute. Looking at roms site, it looks like no sound is available for this, unless I've missed something.
Wouldn't have been released with this artwork, had it been some years later.

Very surprised, this hasn't come up before. Surely the most fruit machines in a pop video. Perhaps not many Erasure fans around.

I'm not sure MPU6 and Scorpion 6 were emulated, even in a non public release.
Scorpion 5 was possibly going to be removed when V5 was released, but just the £100 jackpots were taken out of it, until later emulator releases.

Did that and it still does the same lol
Did just get £104 out of it tho even with the problem
Sounds like it might be several lamp numbers wrong then. If I get time (read can be arsed) I'll have a look if nobody else does in the meantime.

Just got it again £15 plus repeat and the display said £3 plus repeat lol do I just swap the lamps over?
Yes just swap the lamp numbers over. If they have red lamps also you might have to swap them as well.

Used to get this, when using the angle feature when creating a layout. Drove me crazy when trying to create a Monopoly layout.
I alerted Wizard to it and he sorted that part of it out, before v20.1 was released.
Other than that, I think it can occur, when a layout is a very large size.
Running Mfme and jukebox on windows tablet
in Newbies Help Area
Posted
I run MFME on a Surface Pro, works very well. I can't say about Jukebox Videos. Never used it.
I got mine on Ebay second hand a good 5-6 years ago now, still functions absolutely fine.
This would be a good starting point, comes with proper keyboard and good battery life. It's a Pro 4 model.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115438481148?hash=item1ae0ab6efc:g:EVsAAOSwuU5gW4P8&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwE6ifHlIayVZJVC%2Bzv9YaKiIH5NG5iPvIcthRji5ZaPd6%2BaEsi1khAdpLb%2BWaHNTda9A9jt6NMLcEANYlbKLWCirZc177%2FcDtHM%2BCORzxVrelSX%2BeDWP5x8EfheiSAqPOnhDIzLvarY2hHkZ45AVWfqZas26lu298xqTtEdu9sUp%2BeTPtE%2B%2BunvNEtim6docvG9LVMkkRJqn1ra0WEnSS4Ab%2BMUuE8jSsVUKgk%2BngLb0lxl3z57EqwM%2FTYof5KoR6A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8Sfh4LTYg
Use that as a starting point, if you can get a Surface Pro 5 with keyboard in budget, it'll be worth it, paying £20-£30 more.
If not I would suggest you look on Facebook Marketplace or local sellers, would you can see the goods.
