evo1 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hi Kirsty nice to see a member wanting to try/have ago at emulation. First thing click on the link below down load the file and have a read to get a better understanding of whats involved. When you get your head around it/or not just ask away am sure other members can give you a better understanding of anything your unsure of. My knowledge is limited as only just started myself.

I.E amusements aka frig, richy1976 and Evo. Learn off off the best like Tommy c, Reg, Pook etc and you'll go far BTW Welcome to this site Edited December 27, 2019 by vectra666 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed you not placed yourself in this Vec's....... your good as well mate don't forget that!!!!! yes but i learnt the trade off the ones mentioned there's too many good/excellent creators to name them all As said you can only bake a tasty cake with the finest ingredients or if you're a top cook, its the same with emulation. anyways as said Kirsty ask and the advice will be given.

serene02 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Kirsty. Literally anyone can create a classic or graphic layout. Wizard the emulator author has created a really nice set of ‘user friendly’ design tools to make things easier. As long as you can put the time and effort in, those are the main ingredients. You might want to take a look at the valuable resource that Reg released, it’s an mfme creators guide. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Reg’s guide will give you all the info you need regarding roms and how you can go abou loading them into the layout etc. It’s best to try and work things out for yourself, get yourself acquainted with how the emulator and tools work, you can’t bust anything. Don’t choose a machine you are not familiar with for your first layout and don’t try to please others just do want you want to do. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vecs don't need to blow his own trumpet as his work speaks for itself! Sorry i disagree, the funny thing is and i guess the same with other layout creators. When i did my first classic i thought it was the bee's, but look at it, plan. How different i would do that now. Every layout is a about learning new techniques and this guy's got a lot to learn.

Zippy Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) @evo1Well it was IMO. I know what I see and I know what I like, so we can agree to disagree or is it the other way around. What guy has a lot to learn?
