Timbo Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 (edited) It might be a good idea if you reset your browser back to default settings to see if that fixes your problems. You should also check out your firewall settings. Edited October 19 by Timbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merivaman41 Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 Silly question from me, if you can access it with VPN on what is the issue, and using VPN nowadays is a good thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally use a vpn so ended up having to download opera as a quick fix. After trying various browsers on different devices and operating systems including my phone it looks like it's an isp issue. Trying to view on my phone over wifi fails too but switch to 5G network all works fine. Looks like something odd with virgin media as my neighbour as the same issue, very odd. Anyway, the important bit is the emulator works so that's something new to play with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabbathehut Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 Seems fine not able to test at moment if this actually works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotsmagic Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Works for me!! Lovely bit of nostalgia. Volume was very low, didn't get a chance to play properly but assume it can be sorted via test mode, which you should be able to access using the info in the keyboard shortcuts. Hard to believe these games are so big (they were CD based) - the days before efficient video compression I guess Attempting to quit gambling since January 1st 2025. **Lapse on Wednesday 12th November 2025** Dusting myself off and carrying on.

J AFAIK this is the only emulator supporting cobra3, it's not emulated in mfme or mame. There was a video released on youtube showing this at the start of the year but all went quiet after that until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearecity Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Seems to work ok, although I only tried Top Of The Pops and the sound was extremely low. Would be more interested in Scorpion 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be more interested in Scorpion 6. Yes I tried tinkering in test mode but winding the volume up to maximum didn't make much difference. Absolutely playable mind and my PC audio setup is beefy (hi fi amp and floor standing speakers) so I can overcome the limitation... although any other sounds from other apps would probably blow my bedroom windows out Edited October 20 by slotsmagic Attempting to quit gambling since January 1st 2025. **Lapse on Wednesday 12th November 2025** Dusting myself off and carrying on.

Probably only recorded over once, but done so in super long play mode Having owned the original TOTP (the very same unit I used to play in the wild - bought it from a local operator when the pub it was in was bulldozed), it always made me laugh that they used video but the audio is some generic stuff on top. Probably done for intellectual property reasons, but in that case I'm not sure they should have used the videos either I genuinely don't think good quality video compression was a thing back then, would have definitely been pre-DivX and similar codecs.

davep180 Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 I wonder if the author is reading this thread? Or is the volume change just a coincidence? If the author is reading this, could we have the chance to edit the keys please? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
