Thanks for this Andy (I assume you are called Andy? )

 

Anyway, it works fine, I did find that I didn't like the colour of the 7 seg displays (I dislike grey on them, because it's neither pleasant to look at nor accurate).

 

I couldn't modify them in MFMEv9.4 (for some reason it only lets you set background colour, not ON / OFF / BACKGROUND), however I could change them in MFMEv10.1 so use that. 

 

In my opinion there are two ways of doing a 7 segment display - to have the 'off' digit segments the same colour as the background, or have them a bit brighter, somewhere between the background and on states. I've attached a picture of how it looks on mine before, and how it looks after

 

Oh, also, I made them slightly wider so they better filled the 'window' on the artwork, making each digit 30px wide instead of 28px wide. These are just little things that, for me at least, make the difference. 

 

Little picture attached to show you the difference, version on your layout is 'original' and mine is 'tweaked'. Only took a couple of minutes to do and in my opinion it gives a more 'polished' look to the layout. If you need any other advice, feel free to send a PM or ask and assuming I'm not out or busy, I'll do my best to help

 

Otherwise, it's a nice layout and I've enjoyed playing it

Thanks Bencrest

 

No worries, if you ever want a second opinion, or have questions while making a layout, feel free to give me a should and I'll try and talk you through it

[vectra666]

cheers for the layout

[Bencrest]

Many thanks for the layout,glad to see you took my advice and changed the colors,think it was my fault for not telling andy about the background color.

 

It's not about blame, it's about learning new things as you go along, picking up bits and pieces and trying new things

[andy-1]

Tommy you did advise me about changeing the background colour which I done and you also told me about the off colour too but I forgot about it but oy os all sorted now.

 

Thanks again for all the help in getting this done right.

I honestly didn't think you'd actually re-do it with new displays, but I must say I just downloaded your V2 and it looks a lot better, thanks for taking the advice in the right manner and you've learned something new, everyone's a winner

Thank you Andy for the lovely layout, especially the laptoppers amongst you all A very fun machine this, and a smashing layout for it too.

[jamesy4]

Great layout you have done, you took the advice from other layout creators and done a smashing job! will be playing this as it was an good machine back in the day.

[Bandits]

Thanks Andy this looks a good low-tech and layout.

[andy-1]

As you said Bencrest it only took a few minutes so was worth doing, There is an other DX version it was by Harvey and has the £10 roms
