Great layout thanks a lot. One error I've noticed, the red trail for invincible mode does not appear to be working. I do not have thes kills or knowledge to put this right, nor would I want to interfere with your work.

Put the discs in your toaster and they'll work just fine. You'll need to fit a scart socket to your toaster though.

Gotta be JPM's Vindaloot in my book. Had this in our local for a while, and the gameplay was absolute bollocks. Have since downloaded the emulation, but even set at 98%, it is still a really crap machine to play. I know that most modern machines are poor experiences these days - the 'A' appears to have disappeared completely from AWP. Do you think we could sue them under the Trades Description Act? LOL.

Surely any routine that can be accessed purely by inserting money and then doing a set of keypresses cannot be classed as fraud by any stretch of the rules, as this is part of the programming (irrespective of whether it is faulty or bad programming). Using the argument of 'faulty programming' shouldn't hold water as it should be down to the manufacturers to ensure the product is 'fit for purpose', i.e. error free. If the machines are found to have a programming fault then it is up to the manufacturers to put the problem right or withdraw the machines as quickly as possible to minimise their losses, otherwise they are fair game. The same thing applies throughout the whole retail industry in relation to faulty goods.

In Topic: Why do we download/play Emulations?

Being 40something, my interest in emulation is purely for the fun of playing all the machines from my youth. Most machines these days are as boring as f**k and have no gameplay whatsoever (How many times on "Hill Billionaire" or "Nuns and Roses" does it have to go from 11 to 12 or 2 to 1 on the gamble before you realise it's taking the piss). I would rather bung £20 (OK I know it's only virtual money) through "Open the Box", "Autoroute", & "Razzle Dazzle" these days - ahh the 80's, a golden age in fruit machine development (IMO).
