Quit to windows

As it says in title...this happened to me on a Monopoly multiplayer lo tec today. Got the feature on the reels, then stare up at Windows Proffesional screen. Pissed myself and the techie reset the system. He said he'd play some supertokens (Nobles) through it for me until the next feature came up as I'd lost the last one. His reasoning being that the feature would still be due as the last one hadn't been 'taken'. Sound reasoning in my view and I wasn't going to argue if he was putting the credits in. Funny thing was it cost him £35 worth of supertokens to get the next feature, getting £20 worth of x's along the way. The feature went for £75 and when I asked him about the other £20 he said keep it. Nice guy.

every SWP is ran from a PC unit.. so its normal for it to bugger up sometimes. they also pay out at 37%

Its amazing that Monopoly runs on Windows 2k, wouldnt u just love to have a copy of the program, also did u notice the mazooma desktop?

...to get the ROMS for these games and run them on a PC? I would have thought so, I just wonder where to get the roms from

**Fruity_Expert** · 24th November 2004, 12:55 PM

since when do you need ROMS for PC?

.exe files you mean

No, ROMS are correct, they run in fruity emulators and mimic the exact program as used in the machine. Therefore the real machine will act exactly the same as the ROM does on your computer.

No, Multi-player monopoly is actually run on Windows 2k so therefore you should in theory be able to get the software. So is Party Games and most mazoomas that have a graphical screen.

sorry mate but thats wrong.

ROMS run on fruit machine emulaters because they EMULATE old hardware.

PC stuff is a completey different platform - thereis no need or anywhere to place ROMS.
