Road Hog Mad

Have used mars me126 and analogue coin acceptors (the ones with a micro switch on), they seem to have 99/100 accept rate where as a mars me126 can be funny with coins. I use 10p and £1, when I build another I'll probably have a me126 and get it to take all coins, 10p, 20p, 50p & £1, I may even look at a note acceptor.

@RegThink I need a special helper badge or chufty badge for that

Yeah it was designed for MFME only, glad someone has got some form of benefit from it to be honest.

If you search for my front end that I made I added an exe called 'X' drop this in to your windows shell:startup, when you run the kiosk it's hidden but you load an mfme game it appears, it has volume control and an exit button. @dudese

Nice little addition with the background!

@Reg Looks like you have been busy while I have been busy and not been on here and 4 updates have passed me by. One question; downloading and replacing the old version with the latest version, will I have to set it up again as I have gotten it setup nice.

Where's the game of the day setting, font fink I saw that

@Reg Thank you very much, does truly look amazing, it seems to have ironed out the odd bug too where when you load a mfme game but the mfme game loads behind it.

Looks bloody amazing on my cab!

I'll get round to checking it when I have a minute

@Reg I deleted several individually and added them back individually and they are fine, it remembers the correct name etc. Removing a few and doing a rescan offers gooble de gook names. Confused.

I'll check tomorrow, thank you.

Adding one file manually works, but again time consuming adding 497 games! Can we not have the option to re add them all?

Just transferred it to PC and got this, but a rescan wants to put the names back in as gobble de gook, I'm reluctant to do the scan. @Reg

@Reg I have 7 games without pictures, I have added new thumbnails to their folders but they still do not show up, i have rescanned the folder. Confused.

Which good idea of mine are you referring to? The long walk off a short Pier?

I'll do a video at some point but I'm extremely busy, surprised I got this done today, so on the back burner is mfme for a while, I have various lists the wife wants me to complete, fitting the toilet roll holder took me 4 hours today, and I may take a long walk off North Peer.

All done, took about 4 hours The price per play, jackpot, percentage, could probably be bigger, but I've not tried other settings unless its just like that. I put the percentage payout under manufacturer as I label my games as Barcrest- Road Hog etc. But searching for either Barcrest or Road Hog works very well. Overall it's a very good system, I have about 6 machines without pictures (thumbnails) so will re-do them ones, then take a backup of all my MFME folders and the stuff it dumps on the desktop in case the worst happens, I don't want to be re labelling again for 4 hours. There is a few niggly bits I've not mentioned but I've worked around it,as that's the way it is. To be honest I've forgotten what they are . But yeah... thank you very much, it must have taken you a long time to make it. It will be used! I've not tried the other emulator settings for mvmfe, quiz machines or videos yet, I might load my Elvis pirated you tube thing in to it Thank you once again, maybe add a donation button to keep you in curry for a while. Also my floating X and volume up/down works well, invisible when the homescreen is on and only appears when a game loads and the disappears when quit. A good coincidence!

I'll post some screen shots when the skids are in bed

I also like the way it closes the splash screens, I wonder... the arcade simulator used to speed up the emulation upon launching a game so it was loaded quicker. Is that something you can implement? I also noticed your program puts a text file in each game folder, I assume if I move these folders to another PC that all the names etc will be still be there? And it dumps some files on the desktop but I've not looked in to those yet. I was thinking of making a backup when I have done it, so if the worst ever did happen I could just copy all of the games back over and not have to spend 3 hours labeling them lol. I assume updates you just replace the. Exe and everything else is fine?

@Reg its coming along nicely, done about 75% of 500 games.

Fanks

I found selecting a different card put the name to the bottom left, so I can live with that, just gotta update my tags, I must say though @Reg it is rather good!! Thank you very much. I will get round to setting it up on my real cab, no doubt it will look great, I'm just snowed under with other things at the moment (long story, if you're a reporter i'll tell you all about it). DIY, Fostering a bastard, Work, Wife, Our own children, a naughty dog and a cat that poo's in the dentist front garden, plus my seating area blew away as I live in Blackpool and its always feckin windy.

...And auto resize thumbnails? as bits are cut off? You see, I have a thumbnail and the text overlays it

@Reg Can you disable the overlay of the name? I have thumbnails in every one of my folders, so.. I if I see Road Hog I know its Road Hog, I don't need to see the text saying Road Hog. Pity about having to rename about 400 games though, can it be modified to go off the file name instead?
