Evening All, 

 

Following on from No1Stoney's, Uptown's, Andy2003's and others who have built their own fruity I have had a pop too.  Here is what I have done so far: -

This is based on a  Barcrest Elvis Sitdown cabinet which I picked up for £19 (well it was £20 but I found a pound coin inside it when I was taking it apart!).

 

I am going to leave this as simply a single poker machine, BWB Red Hot Poker is one of my all times favourite games.  It will take coins and pay out coins but so far, all I have done is what you see, made Big Red Poker full screen, it has a touch screen so that I can select the holds without having to use the buttons and it takes new and old £1 coins!  

 

There is still loads to do but not too shabby!

 

A massive thanks to No1Stoney and Uptown for their help and patience in getting this far.  Appreciate it guys!

 

Any input or comments are welcome.

Legend, i got the real mc'coy what the dx is based on

Great use of a cab and it takes coins. Shame the dx buttons are still there can you make a fresh set of buttons within the cab.
And how does this payout being as the dx is £6 tokens?

[thecodfather]

Thanks for the comments, 

 

I can change the buttons, being lazy/busy, hadn't got round to it yet, the roms that I have are the £6 all cash ones.

 

The payouts are not ready yet nor is the pacdrive for lighting but I am sure I will get round to it!

Would love someone to explain how about how to start doing one of these!!

[Andy2003]

awesome stuff... im so excited about this now. you know these machines will only get better the more time we put in.... ive got to get my coin mech sorted out but im still correcting the errors i made in the beginning... i looked over on a pinball forum and one site is redoing all the pinball layouts in 4k....... can you imagine that happening here..... jeez that would be nuts.... 

 

nice one codfather...

if your not good at ply work stripping out an old jpm impact machine like ive done is a good place to start.

There are a few posts kicking about regarding this. I'm just in the middle of a build at the moment and i'm planning on making a video to quickly talk about it when it's finished. (I'm no expert, by the way, I've just learnt from the others on this forum).

 

Andy has done a brilliant machine by using an existing cabinet and then modifying it. Or you can look at this thread - http://www.fruit-emu...e-4#entry306028which shows a cabinet being knocked together out of 18mm plywood. Or Reg and No1Stoney have both made great machines too with working lights/buttons etc. 

 

Good luck hope you have a go at it :-)
