Did was, or will anyone work on a DX for Noel's House Party? One of the great machines back then, and never DX'd. I've been out of the loop for months, so I dunno if I missed an answer to this

BTW Amazing work on Gladiators

[Smiley]

I wanted to do a DX of this a short while ago, but couldn't find any resources for it.

If there are any resources available, I'd definitely have a go at it.

[EDIT]

If a DX is not available, at this moment in time it would be because [IMHO] - decent quality graphics are not available. That majority of DXs are made from pictures from Flyers [like A4 photos machines containing basic info sent out by suppliers], Digital camera pics, or Glass Scans [where the actual glass from the fruit machine is passed through a scanner].

If none of the above are available, the it may be decided against a DX release. I guess an example of this would be Gladiators DX for the M1a/b part of MFME :

I have no doubt that low quality photographs could have been found, but a glass scan was used due to the massive increase in clarity.

If you find a Noels House Party on eBay, ask the eBayer if they could take some Digicam pics of the front glass [you don't have to say it is for emulation].

I don't want to obtain pictures of machine through deception, but it may be the only way

Got a machine right here, currently in storage. Needs dismantling and scanning. Shouldn't be too long, it's a higher priority as there are no DX currently.

Glad you liked Gladiators, hopefully more of the same to come with Noels

Awesome news about Noel's - I hate to admit it, but it was probably my favourite machine. Back then, when Mr Blobby was cool, and Noel's House Party was essential Saturday evening viewing...

I have to say Gladiators is possibly M1Adness' best work to date

[M1Adness]

Good news on this for anyone waiting, following a screwdriver session at the storage unit this week the glass, buttons and reels have been lifted and transported back to base for scanning in.

Hopefully coming to an emulator near you in December

This December? Would you be a decent chap and not make it rediculously baf or at least make the scans available so someone can make a 'lighter' alternative? Many thanks.

[Memap]

I'd be happy to do the lighter version as I prefer those myself. I'd release at 1024 too

[Smiley]

And I'd love to do a fullscreen 1024DX of it too (unless that's what you mean to do Mark?).

I'd be happy to release it through the M1Adness site if that was required.

Smiley.

Bollocks, if I'd of known that I wouldn't of spent a small fortune on the flyer. :baa:

Communication - that's what's keeping the scene alive.

Then again I should've spotted the little green tick in the glass box over at M1adness's website.

and it was also posted on this site a long time ago that we had obtained a machine

Hmmm, up to the usual poor grainy standard of Maygay flyers.

It is quite suprising how poor most Maygay flyers are. After all they had the full size artwork in the computer somewhere didn't they, doesn't take much to resize it down (even in those days).

Looking at the glass, that flyer image has so many colour inaccuracies it is untrue

[Johnnyafc]

Any Update on this? Its Nearly the End of December

....even closer now

4 more days to MFME.... yay

[Bencrest]

Hmm...I was assumung it would be out on Christmas Day....probably 2005 though

I don't really mind, It'll be nice when it comes out but I'm not putting my life on hold for it
