One of my first memories of beat em ups. Though it was awesome at the time. Somebody mention vigilante? One of the many games i made my bltch when it came out. I remember the fist time i managed to get to the 3rd boss and trying to beat him with a large crowd around me. Used to 1 credit shinobi and wonderboy in monster land.

Have a few on my android. Some guy called cashman has them. Also has community slots so you get features if someone else gets it at the same time. As for linux etc. Some say it works some say to use this and that. Tried it on my steamdeck with loads of suggestions etc. Does noy work and unless i see a decent vid of it working i'm not bothering as i don't want to mess up my settings etc as it took weeks to do. I can get it to play on it with windows installed on a seperate drive but have to play lanscape mode and can only press the screen where you have to press twice to get it to spin. Not going into trying to pair a keyboard etc to map out buttons. Too much effort. If anybody wants to try it that way then fine but i reccomend you watch some decent tutorials etc if you are going to try it.

I have a few fruit machine apps that play on my andriod but run as a seperate entity and not an emultor. The guy who made them has somehow linked his app that will connect all games you have downloaded. (Cashman) apps

I was thinking Monte carlo then realised they were on the feature, (super slots) not on the main game. Its in the back of my mind somewhere. What was the JP symbal?

Yeah, i got that. Got roller coaster, casino crazy £250, adders and ladders, frankenstien and the one with 3 different slots including Blackpool nights. Its ok for a free slot on your mobile. I don't know how the competitions work though. Only has a small range so MFME is the better option as you have the vast choice to choose from. If you do get a cheap windows laptop make sure its limited use for google and a few things as my laptop is slow when browsing as its a few years old but does the standard job of Running the MFME roms.

Rollercoaster, psycho cash beast. Something similar with features and seperate buttons just to get familiar with most of the keyboard buttons which are standard on most layouts.

Blast from the past. There were cheats on the original arcade bubble bobble version. Something like left, jump, left fire. Gives permanent speed and fast bubbles. The problem with 8 and 16 bit consoles. The lag in some of these games due to the controllers having plastic buttons where i can hear you click the crap out if it to get it to move, joysticks, game controllers, 6 button ones, even the guitar for guitar hero had it. Used to put a thin bit of cardboard between the plastic buttons and direction between the rubber to reduce travelling as the phrase was at the time. Not that i'm saying take your controller apart unless you loads. Just at the time, controllers were easy to get hold of when the consoles were selling. Not sure how hard and expensive certain ones could be now.

I can imagine what a boss would say to an employer catching them on a works computer playing fruit machines

So its not just me thinking about windows 7? Who has windows 7? I have 3 broken laptops in my cupboards i havent used in years that were at least windows 10.

Ive tried all the suggestions and more. It simply will not work. Best i can do on a few is get the emulator to load the once. Wont recognise any games, then wont load the emulator again. Then messes up with my open settings for my other emulators. I just use windows 11 in a seperate drive and play it that way. I mean, it probably could work for me on steam deck but its not worth me doing something stupid and messing up my settings etc that took me weeks to get to where i want.

Newbies area, in the 'read this first' section. Tells you everything you need to know.

I've a had a few successes including proton to load the emulator up but it won't recognise any files to play. Hopefull someone will have a full blown, get the point, lets see it actually work tutorial on the steam deck.

I tried all that. Tried wine, bottles, proton, lutris did the same as my first attempt at bottles but loaded up the emulator and actually found the rom files. Did any load? Did they f. Closed it down and somehow wont load the emulator again. Everytime i do any of that (open with) stuff it changes my pcsx2 option which opens up with its own desktop icon and none of those other emulators. There probably is a way to actually do it on steamdeck without installing windows 11 in a seperate drive etc but i fear that constantly downloading and uninstalling stuff will eventually lead to me doing something wrong that will mess up 2 weeks of work to get the emulators, settings etc or worse, cause major issues. I'd rather play it safe for now and do it all on a seperate drive that i wont mind having issues because i can just wipe that and restart. I can get the emulater and games going in windows and landscape but you have to press the screen fast twice for any buttons holds, nudges which gives probs. If you download any programes to assign controllers, it doesn't recognise the steamdeck controller. Its as if steamdeck hates and has this issue with windows. So the cure is either bluetooth keyboard or assign this bluetooth controller that you put your mobile phone in the middle of and play emulated and online games with. We shall see. Thank you for replying and trying to help me out.

Steam must be different from linux then as i tried bottles and several launchers, flatpack, flatseal that wont recognise files. It will recognise and run the MFME emulater but none of the games, files will show up. The folders will but nothing else. Don't want to go installing and unistalling programmes that might or might not work. I'll take what you have if thats ok as willing to give it a try.
