Hi there, I love old fruit machines, the kind that were around in the 90's, I used to spend everyday in my local arcade playing and watching people play. Over the years I have bought various emulators etc and my fruit machine folder is getting complicated!!

I found a bootleg version of Tuppenny Cracker (first game I ever played) and tried get it to work but couldn't. It came in a zipped list of games on a dvd, I have no idea what emulator to use with it and when I extracted the files there were two files, neither of which seemed to be registered as .gam.

Can anyone help me? In fact I have no idea how to get any of the zipped games to work, they are mainly barcrest games.:twitcy:

Could be a corrupt rar or zip file.

Download and try this version..

Fruit-Emu (Fruit Machine Emulation) - Download: - Tuppenny Cracker 1280 DX

Bought???

As to you post you do you know you need ROMS and LAYOUTS to get the games to play. Depending on which emulator you are using depends on which format the layouts take.

Thanks todd1970, I had great fun playing that game this afternoon, all working fine. Think you were right- the file was dodgy to begin with.

When I say bought, i few years ago I bought a couple dvd disks off ebay with roms etc and stuff to start off my collection. Never even knew you could get them back then. there are so many games and emulators.

Find it at DADS - they won't host it here:policeman:
