I have found a rom in the recent flood by Trouty that appears to work fine.

There are a few problems to overcome, but I am sure it is possible.

The machine is dated 2002, so I don't think I am causing to much trouble by releasing this when done.

Be back with a picture soon.

The photos in this thread don't match.

The first pic has a '2' in the form of 'II' to the right of the top board, and theres quite a few differences in layout.

Still, looking forward to it!

I wasn't sure what tech it was either, so you can imagine my surprise when they worked.

The pictures I have are from a PDF document - but I have managed to get them looking extremely good even if I do say so myself.

The things that I don't have at the moment are a good picture of the cabinet it used, or any pictures of the buttons.

The PDF only shows the top, middle and bottom glasses.

Plus, I am having a few technical difficulties. I just hope it isn't a MFME2.0 issue or I'll have to see if it works on MFME1.0

Will PM Ploggy - when I get some snaps done, hopefully tommorow.
Plus the II looks more like the gemini logo, possibly a remake ? as the pics I have are definately euro games.

I mean it looks upto date

Yeah. I know what you meant.

For a MPU4 machine it is new. Don't know if there were any other MPU4 machines made after 2002.

[ploggy]

Fantastic news! I have been able to fix the 5p problem, plus the payout problem.

Everything is back on track - and has they say in Houston "We have liftoff"

[jamesb99_1999]

Looks good - Where do these little gems hide?? How come they just pop up like this?? For all us non layout designers what are these ROM floods??

Cheers

Hi

All i though this was MPU5 thay used to have a few of thease in blackpool the last one I saw was in Oasis, when thay reopend the downstirs bit after the file in grab city made a bit of a mess of the upper floors it was on 10p play 5 quid jacky. I am looking forward to the emulation though I have played the thing a couple of times but never fully understood how it works that watch out thing under the reels always fooled me.

Yeah, not a bad game at all, bit like a 7 heaven or Ace lines game. Eurogames used to be Gemini (who did Big Ghoulies), and then they went skint. Not bad for a cheap MPU4 game. They followed it up with magic Lines which was shit.

So Gemini and Eurogames are the same company?

There is a a bit of confusion over on FF because of the Gemini logo on the screenshot I posted.

I am glad that's cleared up.

[stevedude2]

No probs Ploggy!

Yep, one and the same company. I heard a while back on good authority that they were on the verge of crossing over to MPU5. Then Barcrest discovered that they were planning to bend the rules with them, so withdrew from the agreement, effectively putting Gemini/Eurogames out of business.
