Do any of the emulators allow for parameters which can launch an emu straight away, without going into a menu system?

Is it possible to mount fruit-machine buttons into a box with an encoder, then hook it into the pc via usb?  Anyone done anything like this?  Any help, appreciated.  Cheers.

Just wondering how people feel on machines being authentic in look but playing (imo) very cumbersome and keyboard centric --- against machines which have obvious visual alterations in terms of action buttons but play well in terms of mouse control and immersiveness?  I'm thinking JPM emulation.

I ask this cause I'm interested in enhancing the experience of playing fruit machine emulation and would like to contribute.

Given a true open-source reign -- I reckon we could create a much better experience, put smiles of peoples faces and get a lot more people involved.

Aside some coinage spurting out through my USB port --- surely its about smiles and kicks?

Any of you coders be interested in creating a point-and-click development kit for people create a software based fruit machines?

I've been searching for an authentic Quarter Horse machine for years, seems to be ultra rare.  Especially when you have to have the machine with working PCB, a working Laserdisc and only three types of Laserdisc players will play the game.  Tough ask.   I've seen the conversions which run on Linux boxes with a crappy looking GUI --- they go for around 1200USD plus shipping.  

My search took me to the daphne site a few years ago, but still -- I've never stumbled across the video files needed.  Just wondering has anyone ever found them or remember the game?

I used to play it inside an arcade on Blackpool front around 1982-1989ish.  It was a small arcade with white frontage and had prize bingo to the right.  Here's the flyers to help jog those brain cells!

Any info appreciated!
