Ive got all 3 Emulators now and i have some Roms....

I just like to Say Great job for those who make these playable on the PC, that includes the Programs too, i will be having many hours of fun on these.

Has anyone seen the Andy Cap Rom? Thats a good game, i miss that, i think it was a £200 Machine, I dont know if it was a JP, or BF though.

My question is this....

How do I fill up the Reserve and Cashpot on BFM? I have Dr Who loaded up but the Cashopot is £2.00 and reserve is 20p

I appologise for my Questions but i only found this site last night, and i have never played Fruit Machines on the PC so i am a complete Noob at this.

Thanks for reading.

There is a £250 JP version of Andy's Big Time available in downloads by Barcrest as well as several other Andy Capp machines. It should run fine on MFMEv2 and above.

Oh cool

I found the Andy Capp Rom, I tried to open it Using BFMulator V2.02 but i get the following Error...

This is not a valid layout File, archive doesnt contain a .Gam file.

I have had the same error with another Rom, i dont know what i am doing wrong.

Ok i loaded MFME 3.2, went to File > Load Game

I then selected the Andy Capp folder on my desktop and nothing in the window, its looking for a .gam file and its not showing.

It's probably corrupted now,so download the rom again and retry in mfmev3.2

DAD told me i didnt have the full Layout, where exactly is the full layout for andy Capp?

I did a search for the Rom and downloaded one of them, how do i know if its the full layout and also how do i know which emulator its going to work on?



Ok i downloaded various versions, DX etc, I get the image of the machine but i get No Audio found, and then No Rom found.

Can someone point me to the FULL Layout of Andy Capp please.

OK Barewolf. Here I go.

Read the TUTORIALS on the left of the homepage before putting in any more threads. There are 3 different types of emulators. MFME, BFM and JPemu.

All machines will run on MFMEv2 except some technologies or machines previously designed for JPM, BFM which have been previously released....SP.ace and Proconn etc are newly emulated technologies...You need MFMEv3 or above to run these. Think of it this way, you can't run a game on a playstation 2 that was originally designed for the original Playstation. Same rule applies.

As far as Andy Capp goes...Read my thread again. I have already told you which emulator to play it in. The whole thing can be downloaded in one go. Layout & Roms.

Finally am I stating the obvious by telling you that you need to unzip the files into the SAME folder you downloaded the machine into and tell the emulator where to find it? It's worth reading tutorials and the FAQ files to see where you are going wrong sometimes.

Hope this helps.

I understand what youre saying and i have read all 3 tutorials, i dont have a problem loading most roms, i just have a problem with the Rom and Sound file thats missing.

i cant seem to find the Rom file, where is it? thats all i need to know, all the other roms i have seem to work, its just a select few that dont and the tutorial doesnt tell me why and how to solve the issue.

I presume you are still talking about Andy's Big Time Club? Sometimes the machines DX's / classics don't have the ROM files attached. Usually you can download them by searching for that machines ROMS though. The notes will usually tell you if the ROMS are there. If not, do a search for that particular machines ROMS and remember to save and unzip them into the same folder with the original DX or Classic file.

When you say "Rom & Machine" do you mean theres only 1 Rom file for all games that require the Rom?

And is the Rom on this site, or do i have to look somewhere else?

Nevermind I see now..

I goto Downloads section and the roms are there along with the game, i put these in 1 folder.

I get it, i was searching for Andy Capp and downloading what i saw, i wasnt aware there was a section for Roms Specifically

Ok Im all set now, but can you save your game, if like i won £20 can i close and play again next day with £20 saved, or does everything have to be reset?

[Barewolf]

Finish your credits off collect the bank and it saves the memory of the machine.

alth

ah cool, what happens when the Cashpot and Reserve runs dry? can i top that up to £100?
