Dougsta Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Evening all. I'm wondering if anyone has any information on the old Crystal MPU4 machines, and whether these could work on MFME 6. They did a fair few that we've never been able to emulate due to encryption on the ROMs, though maybe we did get Aladdin's Cave working on Amber at one point. I tried to fire up Club Twister the other night but couldn't get any life out of it, although there was activity in the debugger. I added some lamps and an alpha but no action there, even after a fair bit of fiddling around. Would love to do some layouts for these. Really good games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 They should all work on MFME V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsta Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have it running now - thanks for confirming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsta Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 OK so this will definitely happen, and I've made a decent start already. A few issues have cropped up: - The sounds aren't quite right and I suspect they are the ones for the 3-reel AWP. They're close but seem jumbled in places. If anyone has alternate sound ROMs tucked away, let me know - I can't get the hopper settings quite right and keeping getting a driver error. It also pays out 20p's only. Trial and error should see it fixed - I don't have Crystal reel symbols but am trying to scavenge some I'll be taking my time as I love this machine, but will be sure to do it proper. I've been waiting 20 years to play this again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsta Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Ready to go, but unfortunately I've not been able to fix the hopper errors. It's being looked at now by others who are more in the know. If and when these problems get fixed, I'll release this immediately. Not entirely happy with the way the Twister feature has come out, so that may need to be changed if I can find a better way. Plays a real good game this one, so there's something to look forward to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy-1 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Have you had a look at Club Bullion to see how the hoppers are set up. This is just an idea but it might be viable. That layout looks really good by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsta Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah mate, I've had a good look at Club Bullion, but it's using a Tube. I think I've tried almost everything at this point to get it to work right. Really hoping it's just a config fix needed and not an emulator issue.

wearecity Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) That layout look so cool, it's got that 2001 vibe. Edited March 25, 2018 by wearecity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectra666 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 looks great reel symbols check out layouts like ceasers palace or crazy casino maybe even club roller coaster ready to rumble is another try the same layouts as mentioned for hopper settings too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) This appears to have a serial based coin mech and possibly hopper too, so it needs work. I'll try and get it into 6.1 but no promises as I don't want to delay the release. Is there a manual for this anywhere?

Is it only the manual for this specific machine that would be useful to you, or would manuals for machines with similar design/components also be useful? Obviously a standard MPU4 manual is of no use for example, but let me know what specifically to look for and I'll go through whatever materials we have.

Wizard Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I think I've sorted it now, but it looks like those are not the correct sounds for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsta Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Great news. The sounds are definitely wrong - I would say they are the ones from the 3-reel version of Twister - and unfortunately they get quite annoying in places. I've not been able to find the correct ones.

vectra666 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) the sound roms i take it you've checked here?? https://www.emuparadise.me/roms/search.php?query=club+twister§ion=all here's set 3 from the site whats the sound rom number you have? club twister roms set3.zip Edited March 25, 2018 by vectra666 uploaded roms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsta Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah I've trawled all the ROM sites and all of them have that same twistersound.bin file, which is the 3-reeler sounds. I've opened all of the files and they look identical to the ones I am using with the layout currently. I'll have another check through all of the available sound ROMs tomorrow, but I fear we might be stuck with these ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsta Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Update. Coin in working, hopper working, meters working Sounds didn't turn up but we won't lose sleep. Will work only in v6.1 Autoplay overnight tonight to max out the cashpots and this will be available for download tomorrow morning. Next up will be Club Carousel, which unfortunately uses a disk reel and will take some working out to get right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
