Hiya,

I know that the Phil the Power Taylor machine by Barcrest, is a clone of Bully for you. However, to what length is it a clone? What I would really like to find out, is whether the sounds are the same, in particular the feature music?

Any answers will be much appreciated as I have to decide which to purchase by Sunday eve.

Cheers
Toby

In terms of the overall gameplay, it's an exact clone. The sounds are completely different as are the graphics. I would buy Phil the Power if I had the choice, and prices are similar.

Can I just add, Bully For You is a fair few year old now and its in the Gen2 cabinate, where as PTPT is in horizon and was released only about 2 years ago.

They are the same game, basically the same theme for sound effects...though Phil Taylor takes a more competitive sound effect role, while Bully For You uses a more pub themed game. Bully For You SHOULD be emulatable as far as I know, but it uses 6 sound EPROMs whilst the emulator can only handle 4. So it would probably be mute, if it can be emualted

[Dougsta]

I think it was tried CB, and was definitely mute as you say. But there were more problems with it than sound - it crashed a lot and generally didn't run quite right.

I think Johnny or Ploggy was working on it.

Could there be too many lamps in use as well? The dartboard must be heavy on the lamping. I'm not sure if there is a limit to the number of lamps MFME can support.

asume theres 1 lamp per part

theres a double, single, treble, single so thats 4 parts

4 x 20 = 80 plus 4 for the outter bull & then 1 for the bull makes 85

thats a hefty amout thats just the super board (as such)

most will only have about 20/40 on a super board

[Dougsta]

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the 2 "single" areas for each segment are double lamped as well, giving 120 lamps for the super feature. Then add the long trail, feature board, prize stacks and various graphics and we could be looking at over 300.

Aren't the graphics that show the segment number e.g. 20 or 17 also lamped? That makes 140 for the super feature.

Maybe tobybennett can do a count for us once he buys his machine

any chance of releasing the layout so we can have a fiddle

Just load the .hex into MFME 10.1, and also a blank layout too. My theory is that this machine just has too much going on to be supportable by MFME without some form of update.
