Hi All,
I have a collection of old Australian slots which are very poorly (at best supported) one of these has no real sign of life. So bad that even trying to look at repairing is hard as it gives no real starting point.
Now I was wondering whether I could replace the game board with a raspberry pi and came across MAME on google. Now this machine still has physical reels. Two questions, Can MAME be used to run without a display (visible to player) and drive the reels to reflect a game.
Or does anyone else know of Frankenstein-ing a reel machine to work again using an other emulator and has some helpful guidance.
Note this will be for man-cave hobby display, I am not looking into commercial exploit.
High level thinking a pi with an adurino should be able to run the reels,
The machine I would like to experiment this on if possible is a 5 reel 5 line "Dollar Express" From IGT Australia
