Hi just joined forum over last few days and i was able to post but i keep getting oops something went wrong EX0 error code when trying to read any threads.can anyone help?

Hi looking some advice on getting my barcrest horizon rainbow riches up and running.i bought it non running and it seems to be intact with nothing missing.on power up i was getting characteriser chip id error so i replaced the varta battery with a new one as the voltage was reading 1.1v with board off overnight.it still gives error after battery replacement and voltage to rbow rtc labeled chip is showing 2.56v on leg.when i try cf card with the proper rom on it i get bootstrap version then pic ??? Then firmware version.when i press test it doesnt program the flash.is this because it cant see the pic chip?.i have a programmer and a blank chip but cannot find the file i need to write or how to create one

Morning Nick, yes that would be the plan I think! It's finding someone with the machine and the time to be able to help! Fingers crossed someone sees this that can help 🤞🤞

Still very usable Mike. If you can get some decent hi res pics of a bottom glass for sag you could go down the perspex route which would be cheaper than glass printing.

I had a go at making some replacement backlit bands for Tensation a couple of years ago. They came out pretty good, but it was a lot of time and effort. Sadly, I no longer have access to the printer.

I actually forgot that I have the top glass 😂 it's a bit ropey but okay

Which ROM version are you using, and do you perhaps have a sample photo?

Stiky

That would work! Only issue is I can't find any scans in the file section, and have no idea where I could get some from. Hopefully someone may have something on here. Here's hoping 🙏

Hi just got my first barcrest horizon machine (RAINBOW RICHES) and I have joined the site to gain experience in maintaining my new interest

Hello and welcome, If its emulation you are after then you need to visit Desert Island Fruits or for real machines then stay here

Newbie ... looking to delve into emulators, all fun (and games). Hello from North Yorkshire ...

hi has anyone got the vamp it up flash file please like the version in photos or any other file for the horizon cab many thanks in advance file on the card is VHOZ0.1DY

Thanks, Road Runner I’ve been thinking about it for a while, trying to get to grips with it. Producing reel bands Have you uploaded the symbols yet? In the downloads section. It would be great if there was a database of them I’m going to read through the thread again.

As far as I know there isn't one but just removing the battery would clear the RAM. You never say never though, there maybe a a ROM chip out there somewhere that can do it but I've never come across it. With MMM I always give all those resistors around the battery area the 'fingernail test'. If you put your fingernail under the resistor and give it a gentle lift and see if it breaks apart. If any of them do (which is normally the case) then it's best to change them all. You will probably find all the transistors have green legs too and will need changing. Have a look at my workshop thread for MMM for some really bad examples.

i Can't believe this thread is over 16 years old and sort of still going 😁 Anyway as for the project. When i started this in 2010 i was always hoping that others would take part and improve on what i did back then(which they have).Materials depend on backlit and none backlit. The best way is probably to look through the thread and see what different members have had success and failures with.

That's a remarkably clean MMM board, You're very lucky as I've seen a lot worse! Does the machine run?

If you have photos of the windows and the reel, there’s someone online who makes them out of vinyl film

Yesterday I took the Win stepper apart to soak it in vinegar overnight, and today I cleaned it – it was just like slime that came off. I lubricated it where necessary and put it back together. It took a bit of fiddling about and fine-tuning.

None of these are working. i downloaded 1 earlier too and that didnt. i have MFME 11 and 9.4

much abliged my friend. thankyou.

Stop The Clock (Barcrest).zip

the whole folder if you have it. i got one and it dont open

barcrest 3 pound please. i cannot for the life of my sign up to desert fruits it puts me on a loop . I just bought the real machine and i need to re mod it so the CASH PRIZE can go higher than a pound and the nudge stop can go higher than 8 But i cannot do it without the game running in the emulator so i can see the debugger running at the exact time thanks

So, I’ve made a bit more progress; I didn't have time for the project for a few days. The parts that had been sandblasted have now been painted. In the meantime, I started working on the mechanical score counter; I completely disassembled and rebuilt it. That was certainly necessary, as some parts were already wearing against each other due to stiff movement and a lack of grease. I also installed the coin tubes.
