  1. You could call them identification tags/signatures.
  2. Hahahaha fantastic mate, pure goodness.
  3. People like you really have brought some really great stuff to the surface. When I joined I thought i was only going to play English retro classics WRONG and so glad I was. DIF is global now thanks to our brilliant overseas friends, can't get enough bud. Thank you.
  4. But the actual truth is who gives a shite
  5. Nice mate loving it especially the Big Bucks but are you that rich that you don't need the £8
  6. It's good to have you here Deadpool.
  7. It is the same set up for both Taverner and Joker.
  8. Nothing, I'm a minor being led astray well at least for the first few years anyway. I have been caught by police in a kebab shop near Mitcham and with a clicker, was stripped searched in the van and given an option "hand the clicker over and all the money back to the shop or be arrested" a no brainer really, shame though as things took a turn the following week. I've been to court, got in a fight with a landlord as he wouldn't take no for an answer (was a right scallywag back then), grown some brains since along with respect and common courtesy but I bet a fair few of us here got up to no good as a teen. The best one was when I was facing a court appearance and the prosecution wanted me to tell them how I emptied a Pink Panther and a couple of Ace machines hahaha yeah right, incriminate myself, nice acquittal that and yes I am proud of it tbh one-upmanship was quite important against the law and proprietors back then, it was always ride or die as the only purpose was to walk out successful emptier or not. Sorry Chops if I have veered off a bit.
  9. @wearecity lol and regarding the video I respect the honesty as if he said the opposite I would of had to correct him, no point beating around the bush either as it is what it is but my memory is this since you are sharing, When I was around 15yrs old I use to come home from secondary on a train and when it arrived into the station as it was the end of the line there was a little pub in the corner and in it had a Taverner, yes I was an addict at this point and have a bit of a peppered past to prove it but when I approached the pub there was a short stocky punk rocker guy playing it and as I was peeking around the corner watching him play (as never went inside) I noticed that the machine kept flickering off and on and thought "hey he is up to something", he never put any money in but the reels were spinning and he had 90 odd credits, as I inched slightly forward he noticed me, smiled, then called by waving me over, I was reluctant but being an addict at that time just went with the flow. He bought me a coke and told me to stand on the right as I was about 5ft 10in and fairly chubby so obviously I was blocking everyone's view of seeing what he was doing which was turning it off and on very quickly by the switch and listening to it ticking inside the machine, each time it ticked he did it again and kept on repeating this, when it came back on after doing it for around a minute the credit display was scrambled and he just played it for all sorts of wins (must of been a good 170 creds odd iirc), he only took out enough cash and tokens to leave a fairly good float in it as after it wouldn't be totally dead as there was no "manipulation" like say an emptier like Barcode, Galaxy or a line emptier for example. When we left he gave me a fiver or a tenner (which I lost in a cafe in the same station) and met him back there the next week, after the second time he asked me if I wanted to make a bit of dough for the day and I said "yes" so he bought me a Travelcard (as we never had Oyster those times) and we went all over the place but he never wanted me to play anything that couldn't be manipulated so I complied. He was making about £600 a day and my cut was £50, a bit of a cunt but at the end of the day it was like having a wage at 15 years old....... (slight momentary pause as needed a drink for the rest of this) ..... from then is was all easy as peas and after a few weeks was on halves, knew exactly what he was doing and we split and met up at night to split the profits, between the two of us we were clearing between £1000-£1500 a day buying Rail Rovers and travelling all around the country, I packed up school and ditched college which I kind of regret but you don't need a degree to fall flat on your feet plus we were pulling in serious dough. We then met his spotty mate Chris would was kind of obsessed with the BellFruit emptiers (Galaxy and Barcode) but never sold anything as he would only swap places that he knew or got banned from, he had an advantage that he knew how to drive but he was several years older and also had a thing for the girls, me I wanted the dough and wasn't interested but our mate Chris would never take us anywhere not even for a lift as he was a loner and we respected that, we also had a code never to touch another's place which all of us always stuck by and the rest is history. Croydon Train Station was the biggest killer as the staff didn't care, the machines back was facing them and the plug socket was on the wall next to it with two machines side by side, so when my mate Steve wanted his reset I did the honours for both, Cloud 999 and Blue Moon next to each other, on the other other platform they had Galaxy and Spectre and on the other Blank Cheque and something else which we played all our tokens in and fucked off as many token wins as possible to get the cash . I could tell you a lot more and probably will do in time but friggin happy that my fate was sealed in this way and if I could do it all again I would but make a few modifications like not blowing a load of dough on fake friends and bullshit and just focusing on that every day of the week as I was pretty slack at times and took everything for granted. Well there it is, this is how it all started for me and have only shared this with a couple of close friends over the years.
  10. Tbh they were not done for their profile mainly preservation and @bungle likes picking things that have not been done yet as classics were but nothing else so we just cracked on and and did them, I knew the review wouldn't be so great as there is not much going on even at the best of times and you are absolutely right, play wise they are utter shite but it does have a a couple of things on this which are covered on the actual thread of one of them. I'll assure you the next one will have more of a playability factor Did a happy file for it just to perk it up a bit but the only ingratiating thing about it was getting free creds to empty it back then as would never of touched them, best you could do was sling a fiver or a tenner in and get a few holds on a few wins or maybe two on the JP but it wasn't guaranteed to give a good symbol on spinning the one reel, have had a triple JP out of this on the happy file but it really struggles still to catch up to percentage. If you fill the faces on either of them it is a mystery win which is anything from 60p-JP and it could also give an irregular amount which is not on the pay table. Thanks for the review and agree with everything you said except one thing, it should of been "finally he has done his first layout"
  11. Download v5.1 from here, Open with this and when you close it save it then open in v20 but you may first need to download this, https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35 and also read this,
  12. To those that want the happy file
  13. I do have a happy file which I did for the classic several months ago, I'll test it and report back tonight.
  14. Think it was a combination of editing the CHR and a dodgy Rom but we never fixed it so maybe @Clo06 can fill you in.
  15. "Pleased we can help each other out" is a massive understatement with what happened tonight and you are so right about that MRM, all will be revealed soon and sorry to veer off topic. Some fantastic people on here and the most important thing is to keep building to make things go from strength to strength by capitalising on resources and make him proud of us a bit soppy but definitely true. Love the layout and thanks for all you do
    Very good playability factor as that could be because it is on 25p play, lots going on and to figure out as never played this before I don't think. Cheers Chloe and a pleasure once again.
    Awesome mate and thanks for the playtest. The 2p play is not too bad you just get more plays rather than action but can still belt out a few quid, there is a way around it just flick the bugger and it will be buzzing like mad after a while. You can watch the Searchlight emptier in my emptier thread as is the same principle, might do a vid on this tbh. @Multi Retro Man you can choose the feature you want just hit cancel and press them in different sequences.
  16. Love how the lamps show up and very pleasing to the eye, remember though to take your rest breaks as am sure this stuff can drain you after a while, drained me on completing a layout so dread to think of the intricacy of this project you are creating. Nice one John
  17. No probs. My main rule now is to triple check everything before I release, sorry to have messed everyone about, thanks for everyone's patience and I'll try and get it first time next time round
  18. I most certainly second that as it is refreshing to play machines other than English ones which I have been doing since I could crawl. I also want to send a massive thanks to all other designers from around the globe who have contributed to no end within this community. Thanks again to all designers here but a special one to our foreign friends.
  19. Nice win there but you sure you never plugged it
  20. Oyyyy moosh what's up with that crazy profile pic hahaha. Had a few drinks and thought my mind was playing tricks, you're a nutter🤪

      Lol but My Little Pony, I won't disrespect it as it is a part of history like many retro fruit machines here, wonder what goes through your bonce at times. You could of picked Thundercats or He-man.
