A layout no matter how old it is will stand the test of time depending how good the creator is and it shows just how good retro fruit was, shame they're not around now with mfme V6 just mages the graphical work they could do now!

[fuzion]

I don't think it's how good the creator is. It's mostly all about the source artwork. M1adness had access to glass scans as he purchased any M1a machines when he could so it's no shock that these still stand out as excellent DX's.

I don't think creating a DX can be considered as much of a skill to be honest. Passion and time, some basic photoshop skills obviously. I think working on a classic is much more difficult, especially on an older tech.

Ultra hi res photos or glass scans are the main ingredient.

Shame Chris isn't still around. Was a decent guy and was extremely passionate about his M1a machines. Wonder if he still pops by.

Did you ask someone to add a 20p button to the rainbow dx? That would make a good vid!

 

You can then show this,

Keeping it back in the golden era of AWPs with this one, but dredging down into the shady depths of dodgy dealings,

 

THE PLUG/SPARK.

 

Amazing how well this layout holds up some 13 years (!) after its original release.

 

Good video this used to do this sort of thing on ratrace, Get £1.50 jackpot as its banking the £1.50 wait till theres about £1.30 in the bank and turn it off and back on it would start banking the £1.50 again and keep doing it

I took on the challenge myself, and have managed to seamlessly, nay, elegantly, added both 20p and 10p buttons to the layout.

 

Admittedly it's hard to see with the naked eye how I've accomplished it.

Sweet, you can see what I do in the video above. One of the best tricks ever! So bad this was put in!

This will be my Sunday night in bed, before Monday morning work entertainment. What could possibly top that.

Heh

The thing with £35 jackpot was, it could cost upto £45. Ok on a £70, no good on a £35. Good for 1 on a £35. On a £70, one was best. 2 at a push, 3 and you are pushing it to critical alarm. Be nice to have a £70 superhold rom. You could critical it. Machine just reset, critical alarms, no money paid!

I see the site is working correctly again now. There have been many new videos uploaded to the channel since I stopped updating this thread (there didn't seem much point once the front page list of updated threads stopped working).

 

I have rehomed this thread to Desert Island Fruits and will use that thread going forward - http://www.desertisl...n-extravaganza/

 

You can appraise the updates since the last post to this thread below. Also please note that in the list are the first two parts of my 'Fruit Machine Emulation History' series, which tracks the FME scene from its very earliest days, going right back to early 2001, utilising restored archives of mailing list and newsgroup posts, and emails - from a time before there was a single fruit machine emulation site/forum on the internet.

I have also started a 'Hall Of Fame' series, where I nominate what I think are the best fruit machines ever made. (Currently in the list are Screenplay, Indiana Jones and Double Chance.)

 

In addition there are some videos covering rare and previously unavailable ROMs that allow emptiers to work. Those are covered in their own videos and I have uploaded the layouts + ROMs to this thread at DIF - http://www.desertisl...t-ramgam-files/

 

Cheers!

For those who aren't aware, my channel is still going and will be celebrating its first anniversary next month. (It's kind of like the Queen's birthday, but with fewer crowns and less inbreeding.) I've done at least one video per week over the last year so there are plenty to have a look through if you haven't seen the channel before.

Latest video is an in-depth look at Ploggy's brilliant Hi-Ho Silver DX and how the layout finally came to exist in MFME after so many years. (The machine is from 1990, and the tech has been emulated since 2005, but this is the first layout to ever exist for the machine.)
