Both MPU5 and 6 versions are reliable in the MPU side/  respect, but the 6 is much better and tells you whats wrong on the display when alarming which is good.

As for the themes yes they are selected when you want them they don't change auto...

and Bash im sure you will be able to get exec 10 yourself

Sorry nails I have to disagree and stick with my original comment, T7 hard drives fail / corrupt fairly frequently I have had to replace 3 in the last 6 weeks alone which is on ave 1 in 14 days.( we don't re image we get advance replacements )  Admittedly this is based on a large number of T7 in use but is higher than you would want to risk as a personal "at home" machine due to you cant just ring SG up for an advance replacement anytime you want / need. 

Also remember that the executive also updates the MPU6 as well.

And now since I wrote this I now agree with you again on your next comment   lol   Damn you !!! 

As fruit bash says get the HDD backed up as these fail quite a bit.

And the latest executive is 10. something

Just been a massive update for T777's  that removes the 9 game menu limit.

Pretty cool

Thank-you gent's....

Spent a good few hours on that yesterday, and several of the 'lamp flash' bits are removed and also the buttons are on, right now i'm trying to redo the JP Symbol.....really enjoying doing this Emu.

One really weird thing though, whilst playing with some lamps I thought i'd see what an alpha would do (as I remember it this dosn't have One)...yet on booting the machine it say's FLC (Fuit Link Club) and on playing gives the Hi Lo etc?

That dear chap, is quality  well done!  I'm impressed, very neat and professional.

 

makes no diffrence if coins are backing or not. 

Back in the olden days there would have been some merit in that if its "backing" its was a potential good sign but as shaun says  these days  no not at all.

Since operators fill them mid week, when they go empty and on their "collection days" as well as things like note acceptors  it means nothing.

Back in the day before notes,  then  it could give you a little nod to a potential winner if you knew more history eg  it hadnt been filled no large wins and how long its been backing and the type of game etc, but was still risky to some degree.

 

 

 

On an offtopic question when you played with tokens did the machine play on a different cycle/% cause again never really got any return on token play

 

 

Many machines did have token vs cash reflexes  as been discussed on here somewhere. So if you put a lot of tokens in it would lessen the cash wins and sway towards token wins etc.

Compensated games can work so many different ways, and if you play them enough you normally get a feel for each manufacturer or coder. Its the ones that have anti force code in that can be very nasty lol.

However when you learn what triggers the block and how to take it off you could make a fortune on it, of course Im not talking about more recent times. 

Vortex! I designed a game when the same name back at Mazooma - didn't go anywhere. There's a funny thing about space themes in gaming; "putting your money in a black hole". Same as games that are overly green......they never seemed to be popular.

Apart from money mad martians  then

 

What was once a vibrant industry with many different styles of games has become one-dimensional and over-run with terrible games providers who don't really understand or care about the maths (especially on the random games) - not mentioning any names here.

 

I 100% agree, there is probably more math calculation in my SIMs than some commercial games which is just crap really, they should do more math and make them work better, but like you say some to not care about how it plays.

My pet hate on random games is a random decision shown to the player that isn't random or is but it don't match the true odds displayed, if you work the math out correctly you can make it true instead of all the " bending it a little"  

I accept some games will need to modify the perspective it a bit to get it to fit the profile but on a standard  pick me with only set values it should just be true picking FFS

Agreed. The business was ruined by beancounters and greedy pub companies.

Law should enforce 90% payout and a better stake/prize ratio. AWPs should be fun. The clue is in the title.

The good games we all loved won't happen again which is very sad.

I actually believe that the beginning of the end was  when the section 16 loop hole was exploited. Once gamblers had a taste of  fast games with frequent £500 jackpots  it was game over for the AWP.

As since then all they done is pushed for bigger stakes bigger prizes and bad ratios.

That combined with shite profiles and not much better games or game play is obvious why its going down the toilet.

So if you wanted to put some anti force in you could make the compensators think a win has been collected even though it hasn't or part of a win and then you would never be able to force it as the differential wouldn't get high enough.Is this correct? Have machines been programmed like this?All very interesting.

Not really, anti force code normally will monitor certain variables, if forcing is detected then it would set a flag, this flag would be removed only if certain conditions were met,  1  either you take some smaller wins for it to remove the anti force flag and would resume normal play or 2 it would remove the flag automatically when a certain pre determined level is reached.  The point is that 2 is normally set so high its likely to take so long to resume normal enhanced play that the player doing the forcing has either run out of money, has resulted in being forced to take wins for fear of running out of money  or have played so many games that by the time they force it to streak mode to recover all the % due it will have eaten a big chunk of its operational %  eg  profit  ( basic principle of the more games you play the more the machine should have made = the harder it is to show a profit )

........ has anyone had any email from union jackpots???,...i signed up 2 be a beta tester and i aint heard anyfink!!!,.....has someone left the countdown timer on and gone on holiday or summit????

......im gonna be watching tomorrow at 7pm,....more exciting than the opening of bbc2,....power cut or not!!!!

They probably fixing the free credits bug

f***ed if i know....




At least someone is willing to work on an emulator with consistent reports on how well (or not) they are doing. If it all goes shit faced due to the coders limitations, (or otherwise) so be it, its not as if Chris is even contemplating an update or releasing the version that pete w has, why should he.
f*****g off the people that are at least having a go is just going to be counter productive, and serves no real purpose for the scene (whats left of it), as at least guitars postings have generated interest across the foums in the possibilty of something new being available.
Tonys abandoned Jpemu, ReA has abandoned BfMemu, Chris has given up releasing Mfme,(im sure he updates his own version).

So should we all piss on the little fire remaining........or help fan it back to life.

What's your actual achievable downstream ? Should it be like up to 9MB/s ?

I pay for 20Meg but receive on average 1.2 to 1.4MB/s download speed from Sky Broadbrand. Think it cost like £10 for internet (Surcharge for not having sky tv) aprox £12 for telephone and £35 for sky TV (front room and a bedroom) TV was registered in separate name and was free installation as a result.

Do you reckon it possible to merge both subscription accounts and reduce the monthly costs or at least get better broadband speeds. (Sky is trash anyway but my brother pays for it) and No one ever uses telephone but requirement for broadband. Get nuisance phone calls at least twice per month from people dialing the wrong numbers which is strange cause they call mistaken us for all sorts: friends/relatives, take-aways, companies calling to speak to so and so last one thought we was a cottage and she had a room rented with us.

You need to research that as sky say "up to" 20 meg and to be honest there is very few places that can achieve that with them, there is a site that can tell you your expected speed on sky with your postcode but cant remember it off hand.

My mate was told upto 20 meg then he said what will I really get and the sales person said   1 -3 meg tops for his area  lol  joke company!  No wonder its  unlimited and they never slow you down even at peak times  cuz if they slowed some people down it would stop altogether!!

Grassin on ya lol. I can't talk when i was not online I used the national express busses and the next doors too
