I did actually find this photo when I was scrounging around for side profiles (attached at bottom, can't embed image for some reason) - it's hopefully enough of a side profile for me to 'make up' the bottom/proportions for doing a 3d model... so I'd expect to be doing some Jokers Wild / 777 Heaven type machines that fit this cabinet And yes more oldies planned - I think PCP cabinet is pretty similar to this one, plus there's a few good JPM System 80 layouts. Plus there's a nice Rat Race layout, whoever that was (BWB?). Part of the process is finding usable side profile pics, I may start begging side photo-taking favours (along with length/width/height measurements) on the Mecca for future models 2 hours ago, Big J said: @johnparker007 when I see some more classics in there maybe an Ace machine and some scorp 2's you'll get another bung but nada til then.

Reg Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Everytime I look there is an update - just excellent. I like the arcade machines in the background of this video as well. I know the arcade machines were not the purpose but they looked so cool flashing away in the background. You know, I think you need a ciggie machine on the wall of that arcade - start them off young - this is old skool, no vaping in here ! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I think you need a ciggie machine on the wall of that arcade - start them off young - this is old skool, no vaping in here ! Those arcade machines will be playable It's just super low priority for now, as I need to spend time to do it properly so that there is zero input lag, and the fruit machines are the main initial focus - I do also like having them around though even just doing attract mode In terms of ciggie machines, ashtrays, chairs etc - for the local arcade builder, there will be 'props' such as these that you'll be able to drag to where you want them in your floorplan editor. Or have the arcade 'generator' (that will generate arcades based on a list of settings) scatter them around in appropriate locations. Of course now I've typed this, I've realised we're going to have to have a 'kitchen sink' object in the prop list to keep @slasherhappy!

Did I hear no vaping but ciggies allowed lol very deductive thinking, keep on shoving 10 times the chemicals down your throat plus it stinks everywhere out but in the 80's and 90's vaping didn't exist so I see the realism.

For the online version I am planning to have some 'mirrors' on walls in the arcade so you can check out how you're looking Plus also of course everyone else can see your avatar, as you can theirs). 2 1 [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: http://arcadesimulator.net | Known Issues: https://tinyurl.com/yz4uom2e | Donation info: https://tinyurl.com/yzvgl4xo [ Community Drive ] The drive: http://tinyurl.com/yckze665 [ Fruit Machine Database ] Initial google sheets (WIP): https://tinyurl.com/2c5znxzz [ MFME Launch ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/MFMELaunch [ Oasis ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/Oasis [ Sound ROM Editor ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/SoundRomEditor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnparker007 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I've been on a bit of a detour with these new lower resolution layouts - led to bugfixes, then having to make changes in the data layout generation, which led to changing how the keyboard input is received (which will add support for US/other keyboards etc), which led to work on reducing the data layout filesize that I'd been putting off! Anyway, here we have three new Barcrest MPU4 machines that also use the 'Smash & Grab' cabinet - more oldies (If anyone knows if there was an official name for this cabinet like the later ones, e.g: 'Vogue', 'Eclipse' etc - please let me know - cheers) Edited February 6, 2021 by johnparker007 2 4 2 [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: http://arcadesimulator.net | Known Issues: https://tinyurl.com/yz4uom2e | Donation info: https://tinyurl.com/yzvgl4xo [ Community Drive ] The drive: http://tinyurl.com/yckze665 [ Fruit Machine Database ] Initial google sheets (WIP): https://tinyurl.com/2c5znxzz [ MFME Launch ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/MFMELaunch [ Oasis ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/Oasis [ Sound ROM Editor ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/SoundRomEditor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see a few more oldies because you know what that means, I'll be broke by the end of the year hahaha Thanks very much, it's truly appreciated.In terms of oldies, there are plenty planned, but I also have to keep general momentum towards an alpha release, so most of those oldie cabinet models (along with all their machines) will come a bit later. I'm thinking probably some JPM Vogue/Rat Race cab/JPM System 80 machines will make it in before the alpha push. And yes, I do love the Smash & Grab machine, with all the gambling/nudge saving strategy it's a ton of fun to play 1 1 [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: http://arcadesimulator.net | Known Issues: https://tinyurl.com/yz4uom2e | Donation info: https://tinyurl.com/yzvgl4xo [ Community Drive ] The drive: http://tinyurl.com/yckze665 [ Fruit Machine Database ] Initial google sheets (WIP): https://tinyurl.com/2c5znxzz [ MFME Launch ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/MFMELaunch [ Oasis ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/Oasis [ Sound ROM Editor ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/SoundRomEditor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
