That's not Barcrest, it's BWB - same tech though, I imagine...

Test Pilot is a PCP machine.

I am currently stitching the glass together which is taking ages.

The top glass I have finished, but the bottom glass is going to be an absolute pain in the arse I can tell you.

The roms are available, and are in the repository in the roms section.

Here's a picture of the top of the machine:

That's what I said - PCP...


(d'Oh!)

Looking Good Ploggy, I have those pics as well what a B**tar* they are to put together, its fair to say I am not having a lot of joy with them.

I will probably start with just a classic layout and see how things pan out.

It seems silly us both working with the same graphics, therefore I may knock the DX on head.

Do you need any help with it? I am pretty good with Photoshop CS?

I have done the bottom part Ploggy my old son, what do you think?

Do you want to make this a joint collaboration?

I now have the Roms and Reels

I wasn't planning on doing a DX for this.

I just wanted the challenge of stitching it together. So someone else can do the DX for it if they want.

Once I have finished doing the top (just a few clean ups to do) and the bottom, i'll upload the results to the 'Mecca Vault' so anyone can have a go at it.

I have also finished the stitching to Hotpot and Hi-Roller which I am going to do DX's for.

They are both cabbed up and ready to go.

Plus there are new scans available for two other machines (Route 66 & Jackpot Bars) that are nearing completion.

Busy busy busy.

Cheers Ploggy.

Who uploaded the pics in The Repository I better ask their consent before I have a stab at this little beauty.

Is the sound available, I haven't checked in The Repository yet.

[ploggy]

Why would you need consent?

The scans of all the machines are available to *anyone* who wants to have a go at doing them.

If you can make the effort to stitch them and clean them up, then who's to say you can't have a go at doing it?

All you need to do is give thanks to the original supplier of the resources after you have released the machine.

There are no seperate sound files to the roms for these machines.

The sound is included in the program roms on MPS1/2 machines.

[unclechicken]

MPS1/2 machines??

Arent they in MFME2 which hasnt been released yet?

Or do you have to be 'in' with the programmers to get it?

[ploggy]

I am not *in* with the programmers no.

I am just preparing the artwork for when it does finally arrive.

I think the beta testers consist of four or five people.

And I am definitely not one of them.

[Bencrest]

The 'beta' of MFME2 [which IMHO appears to be fully functional except for the MPU4 Video emulation], seems to be almost complete. Obviously people that have access are those mentioned on the 'Screenshots' and 'Videos' over at www.mfme.co.uk

People had asked why it was not made into a public beta - gaining a wider audience for testing. Personally I can't see ANY reason as to why that shouldn't happen - claiming that they would get 1% or less of people giving feedback is not really an excuse.

Having said that, it isn't open source software, and it'll be out sometime in the near future (and if it isn't, I'll have to come up with something ]

[unclechicken]

I didnt mean to be sarcastic about saying 'in' with the programmers.

I just wondered why people are making layouts for the MFME2 program when it hasnt been released properly yet.

...claiming that they would get 1% or less of people giving feedback... is not really an excuse...

SHIT, no! I'd give a full review, and I'm not even a programmer of any sort - that said, I'd love to have a MFME2 DX of an early JPM to my name sometime next year - maybe RoadRunner, or Tumble...

Fair enough.

Might as well get the artwork prepared in readiness for the new emulator.

Stitching the glass and cleaning it up takes a lot of time I can tell you.

It gives folks something to do as well until it's finally released.

hey all just to let you know that i cannot wait for this machine to be emulated.. this is my fav. machine.

[_Dom_]

any ideas on the status of this with the release of MFME
