Happy 4th anniversary to the legendary Wizard. I will not forget how he made MFME.

I didn't know we had a gallery

Still having various issues, but finally have at least some of the OS runtime fonts displaying

Making a bit more progress with this whole importing MFME Windows fonts to use the OS fonts in Oasis. As it's properly open source, I can't simply include the Windows fonts themselves, I have to pull them from the end user's (of the Layout Editor) Windows Fonts directory at runtime. The names aren't an exact match either, but I think I can get around most of this by some search/replace and manually text lookup tables. The new strategy is reading the Registry, to get the font name -> font filename mapping, once I've converted the MFME font name to be usable (e.g: 'Oblique' == 'Italics' etc). Since MFME importing seems like it would only really happen on Windows PCs, I'll not worry too much that the fonts may be missing on Mac/Linux at this stage, as later we can have an option on those platforms to install any missing fonts, if someone did want to continue work on an MFME classic, and visa versa, if someone built a classic on Linux, using a font that Windows doesn't have... that or I'll perhaps be able to save out the fonts used at runtime as part of the Layout Editor Project itself (as then I wouldn't be distributing the fonts with Oasis installer itself, so that would be ok I think). I think once a machine is built to be playable in the machine player/arcade sim, perhaps these text strings get converted to images, so then that built (classic) machine will be playable on any platform including android etc... as then the font won't be needed, it'll just be a graphic of the text in the original font... maybe, not 100% on this, or doing some form of the end user autosaving fonts with the layout/built layout. All a bit more complicated that I initially thought, but definitely can see a route through

Still think of him when I open mfme just thinking if he was still alive what achievements would have become within

Today marks the 4 year anniversary of Christopher J Wren funeral aka (wizard). I Never really knew you but just wanted to say thank you once again for all you have given to the MFME community and that you are still in our thoughts.

Yep and remember 'Sort by Caption' is your friend to get the list into an A-Z order. Whilst the legacy gallery is fairly up to date, you would also need to look at the normal downloads area for newer releases which Geddy has not renamed yet.

The layout gallery is great for seeing what has been emulated plus its all under the manufacturers. I use it a lot to see what has been done when looking for.something to emulate.

Doesn’t this already exist? Called the layout gallery.

The download/legacy files are great, but you need to know the name of the machine you're looking for. How about someone, or a team of people, create a gallery of all the machines that have been emulated here? That would be awesome

Wow this brings back memories. As you said for it's time an original and fun idea.

I respond to my own question, all detail here and it works. So now i think I have my process for dual screen mode: I will choose an height ratio based on my monitors to split top and bottom part and relayout / flatten the layout of games so that they nicely render on my two screens... A bit long but worth to try

OK, found it finally, see instructions here, important screens are stacked in the order mentionned in the post

hello, how do you manage to get there, what is your screen configuration because, as I answered you in another thread, I cannot get that results on my side ? Thanks

I have tried but the dual screen mode does not change anything for me, the window cannot be made bigger than the height of the first monitor. You can check my previous post with a link to another thread and see how the tool behaves

tried it but cannot make it work, maybe I am doing it wrongly

I have tested this configuration : I tried with "dual screen mode" checked and unchecked. As shown in the image, I am not able to extend the size of the window bigger than the height of the first monitor, so impossible to make a single window covering the surface of two monitors Then the idea to duplicate the display and have a first window cropped on the top part, full screen displayed on first monitor, and a second window cropped on the below part for the second monitor There are some layouts that are "flat" that are well fit for this separation, and I will priviledge these ones.
