Thats a brand new bell fruit machine mate, there is no chance of getting that emulated. the last bellfruit machine made thats emulatable is probably " road to wembly " and thats probably at least 65 years old.

The fme scene 's main purpose is to bring back to life machines that are no longer available ( all the classic 's) i.e roller coaster, cops and robbers, line-up et all.Not to make life easier for people trying to get "one over " on the lastest maygay/barcrest machine released (i know, its a shame)

Over.

if you really want the rom i can give it to you, let me know

What would you be able to do with the rom for cop the lot then ?

sureley there isnt anything other than decode all the lingo ?

[hurtand165]

you never know, we could have a budding emulator coder here. hahaha

i have a pc full of roms for techs which are not currently emulated just in case a website suddenly stops hosting them.

i am sure they will come in handy eventually.

Well your right, you just never know.......


Do you think if someone DID have the emulators to play current mpu5/current bfm technology(cant remember its name now) they would tell us ?

I think they would have to sign the trade secrets act if they did !




Loving the hoegarden(can hardly even raed the label) and not getting told of for playing the fruities drunk !

they exist to a fashion in the design houses's of JPM , Bellfruit and Barcrest
its what all the designers use to make the new machines...Someday maybe a part timer working for them may inadvertantly hit the send key and email them to the world... i know what is on my santa wish list...
:twisted:

So thats how its done then.Someone had to make one in order to simulate a machine already made?

I remember reading something from red gaming saying thats how they playtessted their games before deciding if they were good enough.

Now, were are those " dodgy " jpm programmers working now ???

thats how most design is done these days....motor manafacturers, fruit machine manafacturers, its cheaper to build something in an emulator and test the bollacks outta it software wise, than to build a prototype..

Which leads me to my next question.....


At this point is it decided to implement a " bug " in the software?

Who do you think decided " yeah, when it wants to pay out,we will let you know by the machine showing 1s and 12s on the number reel ??

Or, " hmmmm, this fruit machine needs a bug how about if you knock back this>>>> and you win more of this <<<<.

Superhold bugs, invincible manipulation, buzz this push that.

iam sure its all put there to make SOMEONE money.

Are these people corrupt ???

Who knows !

the software is designed to be a balance between screwing the punter and being playable....hence streaks...and the "screwed you samples for lose on 11 going lower" etc... software tends to be evaluated before being blown to eprom, and testers are used to try and cheat the machine so the companies dont lose out...if a software glitch is found a rewrite is soon implemented...even in the arcades...the first real glitch was on an mpu3 machine called lineup that had a"bug" that allowed a second JP to be had after a set lighting sequenceon the feature board...rogue programmer or bad software?? Look at windows...released with known bugs and glitches and combos that dont work...endless updates, patches etc... fruity world aint much better.....
