Released build 26 today (see the EFME - release thread).

Nothing major, just a couple of bug fixes that were affecting Pook's Red Bar layout:
  • The buttons couldn't always be clicked easily
  • The coin payout sound when a win was added to the bank has been removed

Quote from: ChopleyChop on Jul 20, 2026, 08:33 AMMany thanks for this BarXQueen, I'm still having a proper poke around in all the various screens and options but this is a very comprehensive emulator!

Developer options > turbo play + George is quite the combo to get loads of cash through a machine quickly.

Can I ask what the difference is between what EFME is emulating and the Electrocoin games in MFME? If memory serves MFME runs the Concept ROMs for these machines, and I take it EFME is running the original Electrocoin ROMs, is that correct?

i.e. This is the first time the 'proper' Electrocoin ROMs have been running in an emulator?

You are correct. MFME handles Concept ROMs and some others like MAB, plus some early Electrocoin ROMs. The later Electrocoin ROMs either don't boot in MFME or offer a win every spin. EFME emulates Casino (Bar-X, Red Bar, Big 7 family), Upright (Magic 7 family) and Flat Top (older "Super" Bar-X and similar, including Pook's Red Bar release).

I have seen different ROMs for the sitdown machines, though I'm not sure the gameplay differs. Casino Big 7 seems to use the Red Bar ROMs, and the whole Magic 7 family (Magic BAR, Bar-X 7, etc) all seem descended from a game called Cool 7s from at least 25 years ago, which would be nice to see preserved too.

A few other games run that I have never heard of (Spinna Winna, anyone?), so it would be interesting to hear what others remember. There are more Electrocoin games out there than people realise, and I've been surprised how many have surfaced.

The ROM variants seem to be about protocols more than anything. I haven't found any with different profiles in what's available so far. I'm looking forward to the famous "silent streak" ROMs surfacing, and I'm convinced different operators ran versions allowing bigger variances, though that could be down to RTP settings.
