Right then Hells Bells 1600Wdx now accepts Notes and its refilled and volume up full to transfer notes two at a time you hold the start button down
i basically copied what i done on pink panther and it appeas to work admittedly the secs aren't completly accurate as should be set to in sec-8 out sec-2,3,8 or summut like that
got to admit the layout is in need of a major update the reels aren't the best, but it was many moons back this was produced as for tommy c's layout that has gone wrong in mfme5 no normal cash lamps showing on my file

This has the hoppers set incorrectly, please see this post:

And I'm not sure why you have set the Note Acceptor to NV4 as the ccTalk one works perfectly well once you have entered the BNV key:

I can only repeat myself so many times before I give up and leave you to it.

I forget sorry, I know the code 123456 for cctalk but does it matter which notey works as long as one does? As for the hoppers I just thought if they're counting in and out it didn't really matter but again suppose it does for the book keeping side of things.
I must slap myself with a wet fish and remember these things in future lol.

Because the ccTalk Note Acceptor always responds to commands, it's always better to use that rather than NV4 as the machine might then think it's got 2 Note Acceptors.

Maybe we need a mfme FAQ for setting up meters etc at the very least this should be stickied for reference.

Apologies for repeated questions I understand your frustrations but I don't always see all posts here I have limited time on the computer these days.

Last lot of Scorp 4 machines. I think I have now covered all that I have. Thankfully most of this lot over the next few posts, are very simple fixes and in some cases just to get the emulation in the background correct.

 

The following are just a case of unchecking hoppers in the configuration, because it is simply correct emulation and in some cases, it will also clear the refill messages on start up. So go to, design, edit mode, configuration tab and uncheck both hoppers for these machines -

Noticed if you resize some layouts in 5.1 the alpha does distort.

[richy1976]

Thanks for the fixes wearecity.

 

Could you post bar 7s £5 please, not got it & it doesnt come up in search due to 3 letter word.

Thanks.

[wearecity]

The ones I noticed have wrong characters. Some start showing goobledegook and some the writing can be fine, until you get into the features, where it'll goes backwards.

 

Bar 7's attached.

Another little improvement, which some may not know about is the 7 segs displays.

 

Load up Bedazzled for instance and look the display for picks. The little display, doesn't look good with the new emulator.

 

So go into design edit mode and you'll see you can drag off the overlay and reveal the true display underneath. You can then delete it altogether, by right clicking on it and err, pressing delete.

 

I appreciate, the layout designers are saying duh, really right now, but to people like me, it was a nice discovery.

Return Of The Count - Garbled alpha.

 

The first one I looked at randomly had the WRONG ALPHA to begin with.

 

I believe Return of the Count uses BFM Dot Marix Alpha.  Don't be so quick to blame the emulators Alpha here where the original layout maybe wrong.

Yes and similar. But some just fill up with ***&&&&***££"!"£$% at certain points.

 

I'm sure if people go through the layouts, we will find/highlight and correct many, if an easy solution is available.

I certainly, wasn't looking blame anyone Obviously in most cases, options and items, that weren't in early emulators, are now available, so it's understandable that some things may be incorrect.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

As an aside, I had this in my MPU5 folder, until I was going through looking at all the scorpion 4 layouts.

Yes because it's physically impossible to scale them with 100% accuracy

This does not bode well with sorting your GAME MANGER - go and check EVERYTHING again...

Yes, an obvious sign that they should be Dot Matrix displays! Blame the original layout creator as they would behave the same in any earlier MFME

[Wizard]

Also any layout using the old Alpha display should be updated to the new one to massively improve readability. It's easy to do, just load the layout, edit mode, design -> Misc Tools -> Convert Alpha

 

Then bring up the display properties and edit to suit, usually making the thickness 1 for small displays and setting the colour, horz spacing etc. Also be sure to select the right character set for the machine in question BFM for bfm. OKI for the majority of newer machines, and old charset for early MPU4s, also remember to check 16 seg!

[wearecity]

That's good news then, that it's an easy fix for most alpha.

 

I looked at converting some old alphas to the new alpha, as I come across them, but it's another thing that affects, a lot of layouts. So where, it's simply a case of  misc tools, convert alpha, I've done them. But some though do need to be edited more than just simply convert. So, it's another on my to do list.
