EFME - Release

[DAD]

@DAD Hope it's ok to post this archive, it's a fair chunk but the limit is 256mb, so hoping it's all ok

Yeah fine, and thanks very much for the roms

[Geddy]

Many thanks for the emulator.  Awesome to say the least.  Much appreciated.

@BarXQueen Hey, sorry meant to PM you this, but can't figure how to add an attachment to a PM.

Anyway, I came across this MAB Systems, upgrade kit.  It looks like the extra board is called the MEMEX board and gal security and programme chip are added to this board, then I assume this plugs into the phoenix mainboard?

Not sure how much help this is?

Thanks, everything helps. Do you have MAB roms? I assume this is a different daughter board from the Concept one?

Thanks for this BarXQueen. What a year it's been, who would have thought emulators were like buses?

Hi BXQ. Not sure where the bugs and fixes should be in, but I just wanted to say, great work so far. I am noticing that the OXO machine has a sound issue. When I hear an OXO machine on a youtube stream and compare it to the emulated machine, it sounds a lot higher, just slightly in the emulator. It's no big deal but I hope this can get fixed. On the non-sampled machines and Bar-X 125, the samples are fine. Wizard had a lot of time playing with this and only got this in MFME 5.0 exactly, and yes, I know this is v1 of EFME, but wanted to bring this forward to you. As said, it doesn't bother me as it's only slightly out. Once again, big thank you for working on this. I'm checking back regularly for updates, as also checking for updates seems to chuck me back into the help menu for some reason without a dialog box stating no updates available which also would be nice to see.

I believe these are MAB roms.  But it's difficult to know for sure.  I believe these are 'Chuzzy' roms.

Again, it's difficult to determine as they are all lumped together, we don't have a specific MAB Systems folder.

Yes, they are MAB Bax-X ROMs. I've added them to the list

Can you link to the YouTube video please so I can compare them?

I know it's a £5 jackpot but all oxos should be like this.

There are a lot of Electrocoin roms categorised in MAME.  Might help with identification purposes.  I don't think MAME is up-to-date with Geddy's rom-dat though, so they might have different names to the roms in the dat.

And about future EFME features.  One thing I would like to see in a future update, mate, and that's meter click sounds.

P.S. Absolutely love the coin animations in the payout tray, by the way.  Really well implemented.  Nice to see the old Pound coins again.  Prefer them to the new Pound coins personally.

I could always record some meter click sounds, again via youtube, saving as a wav file and see if they'll work when supported. They will be official electrocoin sounds too.

I can grab it from MFME (I got all the other machine sounds from there). The one thing I am missing is the authentic "dropping through" sound. The BFM Casino Cabinet (Bar-X family) and upright (Magic 7 etc) have different sounds. Maybe a bit obsessive but it would please me to have the correct sounds 

Freedom Fruits has some long play videos and probably features the dropping sounds if you're up for it

[Ploggy]

This video has the Pound dropping sound, right at the beginning.  It's the BAR-X Ten variant on £5/10p.  Linky dinky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ0kyigSLU4

This video is BAR-X 7even with 20p's dropping.  Linky dinky 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7jfb4GrRPE
