Hi There

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

Please can someone possibly help me as I think i'm going mad....

In 2005 there were posts regarding playing the SWP version of the cyrstal maze (the ones where you do the puzzles). Back then a lot of people said it was hard to emulate but still possible.

I have downloaded nearly every emulator possible Mame, Mage, MFME, Itbox, indie and god knows what else all to no avail....
I really don't know what i'm doing wrong.

The best i get is either 'resetting swp' then nothing or the buttons load at the bottom. Both of these are through different emulators.

All I am trying to do is play the crystal maze quiz machine from years back, surely this is now possibe?

If so PLEASE will someone help me and tell me what i'm doing wrong. It would be great if I even knew which emulator i should be using.
Knowing me I'm probably in the wrong place altogether

Thanks for reading

J

Thank you Tommy. I thought if Jad829 is so desperate to have it, it might be good. How disappointed was I.... one play was enough.

This just a basic layout,it isn't a dx,just look at it like a classic layout.I'm sure there was a different version than this one though,somewere.

You need the 7Segs for crystals, otherwise your red and yellow buttons are your mous buttons, and click on Escape to quit out before being locked in.

Yeah thats the problem i had,it kept running out of time as the cursor wouldn't do what i was instructing it to do!

From experience, the cursor only works directly over the window, so it's best to slow your mouse pint way down in Windows first, and set ESCAPE to another key in MFME 2 layout edit mode. Even then, I think the timer doesn't seem to run correctly
