    Default a little help please

    Hi, i couldnt resist getting the ROM files but when I unpacked them to my C: it has created a folder called "Pokie" with a number of subfolders. From here I have not had luck trying to get anything to run.

    The best i get is when I click on one of the mainsys files it says "cant set the required video mode"

    Else I get various error messages about wrong path etc..

    Im using Vista , I have a heaps good video card with really hi-res modes available, would that be the prob or am i doing it all wrong ??

    Cheers

    I finally got it working, but when I tried it on my brothers computer on the weekend (He runs Vista) It didn't work. Has anybody got it working under Vista ?

    I think I sort of got them working under Vista, maybe no sound, (don't have Vista anymore) but it definitely worked better under XP. Try adjusting the Vista Compatibility Mode to XP SP2 or even lower.

    Default all working but a couple of glitches

    works ok on my Vista, had to manually change all the file location pointers (shortcuts etc) under preferences, but now I just click on the filename of the pokie I want and up it comes. However, on Indian Dreaming the "train" feature rolls but no way to stop the trains ??

    also, on the Lion there is no way to start the feature when it comes up?

    Has anyone had these probs?

    Cheers

    I used to use those pokies and had nothing but problems with them. I just spent around an hour going through my back ups and found the pokies I use.

    I have uploaded an iso that has 15 aussie pokie games and the all install through a normal install interface.

    All pokies run on vista and earlier.....much better IMO....

    its an iso, so either burn to CD or mount via daemon tools or similar.

    Enjoy

    Not too sure about the quality Shagga,

    To play the 4 pokie roms in vista make sure you set compatiblity to winxp S2 and also tick disable desktop composition.

    And from a fresh extract only unclick belly panel

    only 2 work without issue, 50lions and indian dreaming, the other two, Atlantis and Orchid start up but cant be played as there is no way (well that I know of) to reset the game settings.

    Any more exist?

    If so PM me any links that you know off to download from.

    update, got all 4 to work in vista, even changed 50 lions, atlantis & indian to 1c games with each recredit to $50 recharge ect and changed orchids to a 10c game which basically means max bet of $9.00 per hit (about as close to a $1 game as your gonna get), its interesting to see the internal settings for these games, in particular percentage winning stats, basically each has 4 settings with the lowest being 88% and the highest being 92%, indian dreaming is set to 88% chance and cant be changed which is why its one of the hardest games to sort of predict however makes up for it with the train hyperlink feature.

    now really if anyone has more PLEASE let others have access to them, if anyone wants the modded versions that i have ask me in a pm for the megaupload link.

    cheers
