 Next up and following on from richy1976's classic is this Dx version of Red Hot Poker by Bwb which includes the "better" earlier roms v1.9,
thanks to richy1976 for all resources used in this. the artwork was given to me pre mfme5
Even though i ain't a clue on the dodgy cards tricks and emptiers its still running at 200+% lol but should settle back down
It's been reported the gameplay speed is slightly slower than the classic version of yet we don,t know why, so as a result the sounds maybe slightly different too but doesn't affect gameplay!!
 
Shortcuts are
 Draw/Gamble = Spacebar
 Swap = S
 Holds = 1,2,3,4,5
 Collect = C
 Tokens in = 9
 £££'s in = 0
 
      Enjoy and Happy Gaming!!!!

Fantastic release Vectra.

 

Sadly I get sound and game problems even with the 2nd rom you posted.

Runs real sluggish.

For anyone having problems download the classic it runs better on slower comps.

Cheers for the info.

Does anybody get the dx running correctly?

Find it odd as ive not had a problem with any slot bar the odd sound issue.

Runs good on my pc.

No good on my old lappy.

[vectra666]

As said earlier the reason it's running slow or at least the sound is slightly distorted is due to the video screen is bigger than the standard size wizard made which on some laptops/PC's is causing a speed issue, not by much and the game is perfectly playable on any device. My laptop runs it perfectly well Almost. At least we're getting these to run just think less than a month ago you didn't so it's progress.
And I'm making bigger layout's than my screens capabilities so all Good.
Sorry for any inconvenience this layout may of caused again just because mfme5 v1 is almost perfect doesn't mean the layouts will be, hopefully this video/layout problem can be resolved in the next update (mfme5.1).

It runs fine for me, just with sound distortion in places.

 

Like emulators in general, just because what is being emulated is miles behind in tech power to what even a £299 laptop contain nowadays, doesn't mean things will work perfectly. MAME is a prime example of that.

 

Some emulators require far beefier PC's to run things fine, but sometimes the most powerful pc, still won't run things perfect and in some cases, some emulators need speed regulators to make sure a modern pc doesn't run things too fast.

 

Of course we all love V5, but like all emulators, MFME, doesn't provide 100% accurate emulation and doubt it ever will. You can only work with the info you have and there is always something that pops up, that is different to everything else seen before. I have speed issues in MFME, with some scorp 5 machines, to me they simply run too fast. I bet someone with a £299 with find they will run a bit slow or about right.

 

I'm not sure here, whether it'll be possible to have this DX running perfectly with sound, either by a change to the DX itself or an update to the emulator.

[Wizard]

MFME has a built in speed regulator, it couldn't work otherwise. If a PC runs it too slow, it's purely because it's CPU can't execute enough instructions in the alloted time.

 

The sound distortion is because it can't feed samples to the sound hardware quick enough due to the load. There is nothing that can be done to fix this in the emulator itself.

 

As I have said before, the way to fix this is to simply not make the layouts and screen so large in the first place.

[wearecity]

Thanks for the explanation, at least that clears it up. I've a feeling the subject will come up again 

[andy-1]

Thank You

Does mfme make use of multi core cpus?

Making the screen full screen borderless max improves the sound and the gameplay.

It's still a fantastic release Vectra and a crystal clear dx.

What is the exact cheat? I have tried lots of things and they don't work.

[richy1976]

You need to be on 1.9 rom version.

 

What you have to do is play it one credit at a time, get red hot repeat, dont put no credits in & empty bank out.

Now you have to wait for it to go into attract mode, you have to let it go round to the 3rd cycle, when you see red hot repeat king & 2 put another token in & it will stay on the 2 & go higher.

 

Keep doing it & can empty the machine (in real life).

Thank you

[vectra666]

thanks to richy there is now a arcade v1.9 rom version in the downloads it still has the cheat but plays a bit tighter than the bingo roms (v2)

[richy1976]

Plays a proper game now, them bingo roms were off their t!t$
