hi,
i am new here. this is my first post
sorry if my questions are inapropriate.

is this game 'HotSpot' from Novomatic (see screen-shot here) and more detailed info here)
a possible subject of an emulation or already emulated?

thanks in advance for any info!

[mrmystery83]

Is that an video game or a real machine? Never seen that game before. If it's a game then you might be better off using an emulator for whatever platform it was released on. This site only has real machines on it mate. If it is a real machine it's not one i've come across before or one that's emulated. Looks realistic though. Welcome to the site. That wasn't an inappropriate question. At least it was in the right section

10x for reply so far.

what do u mean by (video) game or real-machine?

in my opinion is a "real" machine because is made by manufacturer (see link above) and is very often meet in the casinos, bars, etc across europe

please explain a bit what u mean above?

[mrmystery83]

Sorry mate got my wires crossed. It looked more like a computer game than a real machine. The screen looks a little different to the similar types of machines i've seen. That exact one isn't emulated but do a search for the Mega Cash Sim machine on here. It's very similar and plays great. Hope that helps?

[smangla]

i've downloaded 'Mega Cash Sim' and looks a bit similar but it is not that one i look for.

what do u think, it is possible someone emulate that one i want? btw, how these games are emulated?
somebody (programmers, engineers, ...) take the real machine, get into his memory (ROM, ...) and "write the program" for the PC?

if you look in the main menu under reels of fun there might be something in there u might like.

lincsleisure1, thanks mate.

anyway, nobody want to answer me about: "what do u think, it is possible someone emulate that one i want? btw, how these games are emulated? somebody (programmers, engineers, ...) take the real machine, get into his memory (ROM, ...) and "write the program" for the PC" ?

I'm so sure that Harry Levy had a few of these at some point NOVO CASINO UK

Also a pirate themed one, from what I heard they use 2 pc's one for the bottom screen and one for the top.

This looks like the same principle as the slot machines on galabingo's site. You can play them for real there.

if i knew hot to do it i did'n ask for it here on forums
anyway, if i look at the answers i got so far, it seems a pretty complicated stuff. is anybody who can really do it? or it is so hard and nobody wil do it for free? how much can this cost?

Layout creators can only use the resources they have available mate. The technology for these particular machines isn't available. It's not very likely to be for some time to come either. It's looks an interesting one though. I guess with all the new machines being manufactured all the time there will always be ones we want emulated that aren't available. But there's plenty of other ones to play in the meantime. We're lucky that there are people that create layouts and other hard work for free. It's not the cost. If they could i'm sure someone would have a bash at it eventually.

Hope that helps

Yep like Steve said, to be honest the roms used to be got via manufacturers bulltetin boards etc. and also by people with the actual machines using rom readers. You would not be able to do this with PC based architecture, so unless you get an unshielded version (without needing a dongle) that runs on standard pc architecture (like Cluedo Quizmachine) you have no chance. By the time they will be done nobody will be interested I would imagine..

I hated this in the wild - it could suck £100 in a matter of 20 minutes - although it could also dump £100 quicker than that. Boring games though, very limited gameplay on them, basically just multiwinline games up to a maximum of the jackpot easy to simulate - but to get to play similar to real thing would be a real pain in the ass.

does anybody on this forum have any history with magic games?

the reason for asking is that the standard £25 jackpot game is far better the updated £25+repeat chance game, so my question is, if you cloned the HD of the old game, could you place it in a new terminal and access the old games?

The £160 run for the 7`s was phenominal.

Played em but never won so stayed clear.

My local has 3 of the sit down type.
