Hi there , I have been searching around for this and noticed you have the classic but not the DX, there are a couple of hreads dating back dec 2003 but lookd like people needed a better picture or flyer to do it, This is an absolutely great machine and was wondering if anyone had found a better picture or if any one has any plans in the future to DX this machine?? I did have a go at doing a dx of this but LOL you do not wanna see it , didn't realise how hard it is, so full credit to you DX guys thankyou.

Someone with immense redrawing skills needs to butcher the £10 flyer perhaps. :-(

As a side note, I couldn't find the club roms on this site, don't think they're here. Can the mods take a quick look, otherwise the classic is not a lot of use. Cheers.

Where is the £10 flyer available?
I just tried to look at what they have over at the Mecca Repository, but all I got was red Xs.

I wouldn't mind having a go at the Flyer to see if it can be salvaged.

OK, I've got the £10 flyer which is pretty good quality, and looking at the club flyer above I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to make the £200/£250 one out of it.

I'll make a start on it, and I'll post here as it progresses.

Just an update.

While I was working on the flyer to get the club version out of it, I thought I might as well make the DX for it while I'm at it (hope the other guys who were thinking of doing it don't mind :) )

Anyway, it's nearing completion, and it has worked out pretty well (I'm new to FME but I'm no stranger to Photoshop).

I'll have a screenie worth showing tomorrow, and should be able to release it within a week.

I do have a few questions for the experienced members around here though:

1] The rom for this Club machine isn't actually on this website, and I had to do a search and download it from a link in one of the threads. Is this intentional, or should I upload the rom as well as the layout?

2] When the layout loads, it mentions "Wrong Sound, Need V1". I know that pressing the start button allows you to play anyway, but I was wondering if this was just an oversight when the classic was released, and if there was a way to fix it for this release.

3] Can I set the toggle at design level that allows the reels to show more or less, like you can with F10?

Thanks for any help concerning the above questions.

I don't see any problems in uploading the rom with the layout.

It's not a Empire rom, and it is well old enough.

The sound thing isn't that important. Like you say, just pressing start gets rid of the message.

It happens on quite a lot of MPU4 machines, and isn't a oversight.

And the question about Reel Sizes.

I don't think it's possible other than the F10 method.

Unless you change the 'Reel Size' in the reels properties and see how it looks.

Will be interesting to see the final product. :)

Well, pretty much finished now.
Just got to play it for a while to make sure that I haven't overlooked anything. :D :)

A couple of points on the layout.
Firstly, I use the 'hiding taskbar' with my Windows setup, so to get all the machine on the screen you will need to resize your taskbar with the mouse before you play it, which is simple enough.

You'll also have to press F9 obviously.

Now, anything I should know about the uploading process?
