Your gona get shot down in a ball of flames for that post
Fruit chat forum is your best bet for this post.

Fair enough, but with this being the Any Topic Forum I would have thought it would have been ok.

Hi, the main problem is the machine is in test mode, and as such it will not play the same as one in normal mode,I went over to Blackpool to see why my layout would'nt work when I was having problems with the display crashing the emulator,I won £75 while I was there off one of the features(red hot I think) - I've tidied up the layout a bit if you want it.

Cheers for your second layout mate, like how you've tidied it up.

thanks duplu.

It really bugs me when people start slagging each other off just because something isnt with in there reach. Its childish and does more harm than good.

I totally agree mate.

I've got to say I think there will be a bit of a 'buzz' about them at first & then it'll die off. As Kriss said U could go into an arcade with a tenner to have a quick 'flutter' & 1min later be back out again.

What's going to be hard to believe is some people will put exactly £70+ in just to get a £70 jackpot which is just barmy really.

I used to go into an Arcade in Chester & this was when the Golden Game (3 Player) machine was pretty new & one of the female worker's once told me there was a woman who would go in there most day's & she'd go through £300+ just to get a £25 Jackpot plus other 'X' amount of wins. How barmy is that? If I had £300+ in my wallet I don't think i'd throw it all into a machine.

We've got a number £35 jackpot machines in our local bingo hall apart from obviously having some £500 jackpot machine's. The £35 jackpot's are 50p per play & still yet when i've seen folk playing them i've never seen anyone get a jackpot. I'm sure someone has no doubt but it still make's me wonder how much that person would have been willing to spend just to try & get it.

Are people still getting that runtime error? I posted a solution both here and FruitForums a while back, but obviously with the previous 'issues' here, it got removed. I do not guarantee that this will work for everyone, and also you perform the below actions entirely at your own risk.

NOTE - The below is hopefully a solution for the 'Kerching' sound, followed by a Runtime error problem.

Right, think I've got it sorted now, it needs an MPEG2 codec, so when installing FFDSHOW, you have to tell it to install that - it doesn't do it by default. I got Reel King working, then uninstalled FFDSHOW, reinstalled FFDSHOW with the default settings, and it no longer worked. I then narrowed it down to the MPEG2 codec, which FFDSHOW doesn't install by default, so you have to tell it to during installation. Just follow what's written below, it's a piece of pish!

Here is a copy of my post from Fruit-Emu on the matter :

Looks like it is specifically the MPEG2 codec. If you have just installed FFDSHOW and have not used these particular settings, then uninstall it (you can find it in the Start Menu, or probably 'add/remove programs' in the Control Panel as well.

Therefore, when installing FFDSHOW, on the 'SELECT ADDITIONAL TASKS' screen, you need to do the following :

1) Check the 'Video Formats : Decode the following video formats with ffdshow :' checkbox

2) Scroll down that page until you see 'MPEG-2', and check the 'libmpeg2' box next to it.

I reckon that'll get it working. If not, go out to an arcade / LBO with a Reel King and try and win yourself a new computer.

I did what Bencrest had suggested above & my Reel King £500 works no problems at all now. I'm not getting the error message & can quite happily play it.

Cheers Bencrest
