Poker Machine Emulation

Ronan|Raven

Have been looking for an entertaining video poker for mame. Something along the lines of the HI/LO poker machines you see in a lot of the pubs in Ireland. Obviously not the noraut ones as I don't think they have ever been dumped? Although I could be wrong on this.

It seems now Noraut Poker has been dumped in some way and is available on the latest version of the MAME platform:
http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/norautpn

I have no idea how to get this to run though!

I have compiled the latest MAME version and have the Noraut ROM but it does not run!

Anyone know how to make this work???

Ronan|Raven

Interesting to see this at last will have a go at running it later and let you know. Thanks for the information reni10.

Get yourself the latest version of MAMEUI a precompiled version. Saves you a lot of hassle. I can confirm it is running in this version

Yep grabbed MAMEUI and all is good now!

It seems there are still a few issues with Noraut but it is mostly working.

Now just need to work out what each Dip Switch does.

Aye, with them all off by default you get no HI/LO play. Must sit down and see what one does what.

i have got as far as the f u screen any ideas on how to get past that??????????????

Ronan|Raven

I assume you are using mame32 as the emu? usually when the rom loads it is a matter of typing ok on each screen. Tell step by step what you are doing and I will try help you out better.

JimStavros is a f'n poker machine and that's what's up

im using mameui i can load the rom as far as a blue screen with the letters F U in the middle cant get pat that??????????????iv read up on it and heres what iv found if it makes any sence to u?

NOTE :
- Clone norautjp: At the first start-up, the game will give you a very clever "FU" screen. Press the following buttons *together* on different times to get rid of it (and actually initialize the machine): Start + bet buttons (1+2) and Hold 3 + Hold 2 + Save (Half Gamble) + Change Card (C+X+F+D). Also notice that you actually need to map the last four buttons on the same button / on a joypad since MAME's steady key doesn't seem to work on my end.

Ronan|Raven

They are the key presses you need to enable that version. Get youtself file name noautpn and norautp these versions load without having to do the above. Christ it seems tricky to do those key presses to get it to unlock...

nemes1s

cheers 4 that mate il give it a go any sound on it yet

Im afraid I cannot link to those roms as it is against forum rules.

Its worth getting past the "fu" screen on norautjp because its the better version of the 3.
noratpn is an older slow version without joker, noratp only works right in hopper mode

do u know how to get past the fu screen?

agriffin

you would have to press the Tab key when you have norautjp running and setup the keys C+X+F+D to the same button say X

then when in the game press
Start + bet buttons together (1+2) then let go
then press X if you set the 4 buttons the same
Hold 3 + Hold 2 + Save (Half Gamble) + Change Card these are the 4 that have to be setup to the same key for this to work, once the game goes past "FU" you need to set the 4 keys back the way they where.

cheers for that

agriffin

let me know if you got it running
norautjp dipswitch settings included for anybody that needs them

Ronan|Raven

Excellent stuff, got it up and running. I had bound those keys previously to a button on my joypad but when I changed it back to a button on the keyboard it all worked perfectly.

agriffin

Nice to get to play them on pc, hopefully more of them will be added to mame their was a lot of different versions,
anyone remember the one where it would constantly tell you possible flush possible 4 of a kind etc to name just one.

hope to get my hands on a PCB to dump in the near future it has a lot of scrolling text accross the screen telling you info about the game not sure about the actual gameplay prob the same as norautjp.

Ronan|Raven

I see from the info on maws you were the one who dumped the last version? Fair play you have made many people very happy

agriffin

hopefully more of them soon;)

agriffin

should be another new one in the next version of mame

Ronan|Raven

Great stuff, excellent to see the various versions of it being added. Be great to see the sound emulation working, then again it really isnt all that needed for these games.

agriffin

Yeah sound would be a bonus allright. 0.132u5 got released today new noraut not included looks like it will be ver 133 before its added. possible two versions if they can work some magic on a another dump i got from an unworking ancient noraut board.

agriffin

lots of work been done on noraut
