Hi guys, i am new to the fruit machine scene and was just watching a video on youtube of a lad playing on a maygay 'homers meltdown' machine. Every time he landed on the thing which has 'Fired', 'Pay Day', 'Doh' and 'Hi-Lo Gamble' on it, he always seems to get it to stop on 'Pay Day'.
yeah, obvioulsy the hopper dump was taking the piss hence 'seriously though' being in the brackets. Did it have any purpose other than to lock it up??-Surely it was put tehre for a reason
Thought the hopper bit was a joke .... if it hadn't i'd have been major gutted.
No. I never found a use for it other than to lock/reset the machine.
I always assumed it was there to make me feel clever after i'd lost in the machine
i remember this code, used to work on Wipeout. i thought (or was jokingly told) that it reset the machine, and blanked the last win, so if u just took JP, the JP win would not influence the run of the machine. or something like that. years ago anyway
yeah, I'm not suggesting it had ANY use at all for the player other than to annoy/confuse/interest other people watching you do it. But surely from the programmers point of view it WAS there for a reason? Used to do Homer's Meltdown code in under a second at uni, and probably htink I was cool in the process ops:
