Open The Box on my pc is playing reallllly slow. Can I speed it up? Using MF31. Win xp

[pete_w]

You can alter the speed on preferences. Either increase the throttle on the Auto Speed or switch off Auto and enter a manual speed.

The 3.0/3.1 loads perfect but when i try and load "Open the box" it comes up with "Cant create compatible DC",.........quickest one to tell me that this is a win 98 problem wins a prize!!

Sorry Badboy0 but it is a Windows '98 problem...Hence I've decided to give up my beloved Win '98 and go to XP as of tomorrow night. I need to play this f***ing game. I was too young to understand the "hidden treasures" and these things must be put right.

I get the same error message, plus loads of others on different MFME3 & 3.1 fruities.

I got 3 7's on win line which I exchanged for feature of nudges. I nudged in the reels so all were on LINE 7 & nothing happened. No bonus prize or anything like that. (Had to actually nudge in 3 bar symbols as consolation.)I'm sure in real life that would have won something. Does other times when all reels on same LINE. Hence the Band-aid to help.
Anyone any thoughts?
Was quite a few years ago when I played it mind in the real world!

3 7 and 3 10's give the same (I think) it's free spins.... however, on the original it paid out 7 or 10 tokens, whereas it cannot obvious in an emulator.

[DaemonX]

This is because the machine would automatically payout 10 x 20p tokens.

Next time you get line 10, or line 7 or even the mystery win (can't remember which line) watch the meters.

See above

[Steinman]

Aha ... I wondered what that clunking sound was eminating from my A drive!
Cheers!

[wearecity]

When you get those free 7 or 10 wins, if you press f9 to see the meters you will see the out meter going up, so it is registering the 20p tokens coming out.

[Steinman]

When machine offers nudges but no win can be nudged in, what's the best thing to do? Or in other words is there any point in nudging in any specific reel or not ?

[Domgoth]

I used to love this, in the days when I never even had the money to play it.. nice to watch.. and see what all 16 features were..

THANKS.

Just wondering where you used to go in brum center? i was always in bull st shipleys 95/96 long black haired goth lad and the 2 on new st. Wasnt keen on the oasis market place too many idiots n hangers on.now im here there n every where how about you???

[keigan1888]

thanks

[DildoDez]

Thats a good point Dez.... basically... you look at the reels, which ever is the best.... say you have a 3.... 7.... and 15.... when you bring the win in, hold the reel with the best number (15) and that'll be the reel which you gamble on.

Handy when you've got 2 6's and a 14

Sorry i never checked back on this. Cheers mate, puzzled me no end that one!!
