johnparker007 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) I was missing one of the settings from the guide, but otherwise, after rebooting it does indeed look good, in that checking Windows Update status, and it looks like it can't connect So Perforce is working correctly, and hopefully the server PC is now 'frozen' in terms of Windows Updates, so Microsoft shouldn't be able to push something out that breaks it, fingers crossed: This computer is purely for running Perforce server, and acting as a low end rig to test bare minimum specs for running Arcade Sim. Other than that it does absolutely nothing else at this stage So not really worried about missing security patches, since it's rarely even switched on, except to commit codelines to Perforce.

johnparker007 Posted December 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Finally can work on the reels again So now have added a little more to the reel data save file I'm building per layout, along with some automated reel background color detection: A demo shot of that working above, so the very light grey reels have been auto-mapped pure white, and the blue dice reel has auto-mapped to an average of the blue pixels from the corners. All values can be quickly overridden in the edge cases where needed. So where the reel background appears: Black to dark grey -> Make pure black Dark grey to white -> Make pure white otherwise, use raw average sampled color 9 [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: https://tinyurl.com/2kcrkprh | 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 [ Fruit Machine ROM Archive ] The archive: https://tinyurl.com/3jhzbueb [ Fruit Machine Settings/Tests Guide ] https://tinyurl.com/yuebw8b5 [ MAME (fixes/improvements) ] Commits: https://github.com/johnparker007/mame/commits/master/?author=johnparker007 [ 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...

highlander317 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi John Had this installed on the old pc, and loved it. Sadly installed on the new pc, all loads up, but when selecting fruit machines it just hangs with no progress. Video games open with sound, what am I doing wrong?

Cheers in advance LB You will need to install MFME v20 on the new PC, and then update it. Then run Arcade Sim and the fruit machines should hopefully work 2 [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: https://tinyurl.com/2kcrkprh | 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 [ Fruit Machine ROM Archive ] The archive: https://tinyurl.com/3jhzbueb [ Fruit Machine Settings/Tests Guide ] https://tinyurl.com/yuebw8b5 [ MAME (fixes/improvements) ] Commits: https://github.com/johnparker007/mame/commits/master/?author=johnparker007 [ 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...

agemame Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 That took me back, for a brief moment I was searching the sidebar looking for Crowns Anyway, the only holdup with BlackBox is essentially deciding how to do the sounds - with MAME never really being geared up for this stuff, it's trying to do it cleanly. Same as the layout art really - it's very good at pushing simple primitives around, but something proper 3D is a hassle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altharic Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 A coin pusher with no mechanical items has been pulled into MAME yet black box isn't because it has coin sounds. Let me know when the you have finished with the wall I want to have a go Dumped and added a skeleton driver for "Ballroom Glitz" coin pusher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agemame Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Just, just don't ask. The apparent double standard isn't lost on me. Admittedly my free time isn't my own right now, but at this point if that is the hold up, I'll hack the sounds back out and put it in mute if it helps. Problem is, no-one seems to be responding at all, which I agree looks bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
