cheers for the info. so it will be years before this happens then?

also is every machine that can be done been done?

Not Every machine is done by a long way. There's still quite a few sp.ace machines to do, the BWB machines such as Blues Boys can't be emulated because of the copy protection, some old proect coin machines such as cool million still aren't around and then theres probably quite a few I don't even know bout because I'm not old enough.

Cool Million and Blues Boys interest me way more than the Spiker the Bikers etc.

Word has is that and MPU5 emulator can be downloaded along with the M1A Video board emulator.

is spiker the biker mpu5? and wots the law on the newer machines that was mpu4 can they not be emulated for a certain amount of years?

No Stu, I think you mis-understand it mate, re:- Emulation, there isn't a 'time' law at all.....

Basically, we all produce these Emulations and never ever charge a penny, the reason being is that's the 'law' side of your query...they arn't ours in the first place.

Fe, DADs, Mecca, FF, DXcellent to name a few......these are all sites that have respect to the makers of the machines, the 3 year rule you are thinking of is basically 'unritten'

The purpose of FME is to enjoy machines that arn't up-to-date..........should this ever arise i'm sure the makers will take a different view and our sites will fold quicker than you can say "I enjoyed it while it lasted"

Newer machines cannot be Emulated anyway due to the Encryption etc....

A crude reply, but a basis for others posted.
