  1. The Saddest Day

    in Wizard's Rest

    Posted

    So sad to read this awful news.

    I never really knew Wizard personally myself, as I am still relatively new ish to the emulator scene, but found him so helpful and the things he brought to this forum must have been immense.

    I can't begin to imagine the work/hours that must have gone into putting everything together.

    RIP Wizard, such shocking news

    If you have renamed or moved any files or folders connected to MFME, that would be the probable cause. Put them back. 

    Try rescanning the database, making sure where your layouts are, is where you point the emulator and do a scan.

    Next make sure the emulator is upto date. 

    If it is or doesn't solve it, then I would re-download the emulator and install it again.

    If none of that solves it, then you'll probably need Wizard to assist. But I think he is taking a well earned break and hopefully enjoying the wine. 

     

    Ok, thanks I will give that a try.

    I definitely haven't moved or re-named any files, so maybe I will just re-install and come back to you?

    Agreed, Good old Wizard, top bloke. I haven't got the first clue as to what he must get up to, but I would imagine it must be ALOT of work.

  3. Samples within games

    Yep, they were probably almost always used I would think, due to the limits of the ram size available for samples.

    However, The Mob is a good example.  Is 16 the "farkin sneaky bastard" one?  Probably just left in by the programmer for his own enjoyment, then as you say, never actually used in the game when it was released.

    NQ.

    No, 16 was quite a lengthy soundtrack, no it's not the ''farkin sneaky bastard'' one but I definitely don't recognize it.

    Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.

    Noticed it on quite a few others as well, which I thought was quite interesting.

    No not a feature sound infection as played every feature and piled 100's into this

    Hi, I dont know if anyone would know the answer to this question, but been playing some of the amazing sounds in samples that some of these fantastic classics produce....

    But the question I have is.....Are not all of them necessarily used in normal gameplay or are some of them just there and weren't used?

    The reason I mention this is because I was playing some in The Mob and never heard of some? Esp sample 16 as definitely not a sound I've ever heard in gameplay and probably on many others

    so hopefully someone can answer the question.

    Many thanks.

  5. Error when leaving games

    Hi everyone, I don't know what I'm doing wrong as haven't changed any settings and running the latest v20

    but every time I leave a game, I was under the understanding it was supposed to save on exit, but for some reason I keep getting ''cannot save DB file' each time I leave the game?

    Does anyone please know what that means and why it's doing it and how to stop it?

    Many thanks.

  6. Simpsons Beer guide/Duff beer guide

    in Emulator Chat

    Posted · Edited by jackpotjon05

    Hi everyone, hope you are all well and staying safe.

    This question has been bugging me for ages as I have been told there are 2 different versions of the Simpsons in this particular game?

    Simpsons Beer Guide.....AND

    Simpsons Duff Beer Guide.

    Apparently the duff version is much much rarer than the other and I think I know what this person means, because I've googled it and cannot find one called ''duff beer guide'' but there are simpsons beer guides all over the place, so can anyone give any clarification on this please?

    Alot of people will call their machine a duff beer guide, when it actually isnt a duff at all, hence the question

    I have seen 1 or 2 so just wandering if they are as rare as hen's teeth and if that's true and can anyone show the me difference as can't find the images for the life of me LOL

  7. Crazy Fruits Down Under request

    in Emulator Chat

    Posted

    Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

    I do remember playing a machine back in the days of Fruit-emu called Crazy Fruits Down Under, but when you download it from the site it seems to come up with an error and the machine unfortunately will not play.

    I cant see it anywhere else apart from on there, so I was just wandering if there was a way to solve it please, or if it was re-released here and where I could maybe find it?

    Thanks for your help, it was a fun game to play and would love to see it again.

    @jackpotjon05 I think you need to be careful with your wording buddy.

    You may not intend to come across as being arrogant, but that's how you're coming across, people will down vote arrogant posts and you'll end up with negative reputation like now. 

    You'd be better off saying "well, I looked there but I found xyz which wasn't ABC, however, looking through the guides it says def... I've done this and that but I'm still a bit stuck, could you please assist?" rather than "NOPE, done that, didn't work"

    Don't forget text on the internet can come across very differently to how it is said in person with a smirk or smile.

    I had a similar experience when I first got into the scene, but you can see why people get annoyed if everyone asks the same question. Anyway I sussed out where I was going wrong and now I'm making the odd classic layout.

    That's the problem with text and the internet these days, it's just words and can be taken completely the wrong way.

    If anyone does read this, I don't have any intention of coming across in a bad way at all. In fact without blowing my own trumpet, I like to feel I am actually a very fair and decent guy, but each to their own I suppose.

    I haven't had any problems on here till now and I've seen a lot worse posts if im honest and the way they are worded is shocking, so maybe lets start again.....

    I sent you to the Legacy section because that has ALL the layouts in one place.  To keep it simple.

    I don't know why you are getting confused as that is where ALL the layouts are (some are in different places as layouts get released in their own thread)

    ALL the layouts work but they need roms, that is clearly explained in the Legacy section IF you read it which I presume you neglected to do so hence you would not be getting confused.  https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/files/category/37-legacy-layouts/ 

    I can also presume you have not read this...

    ... as again if you had you would understand you need roms and layouts to play the games.  Rest assured with v20 you will have to do near to zero work to get the games to work as when you load a layout the emulator itself will run around the internet grabbing the roms for you... how cool is that.

    Ok super, thankyou.

    I did read this yes hence how I got 19.8 to work.

    I thought 19.8 automatically would upgrade to v20 by clicking the update button ''about'' but I take it it's a different emulator completely?

    Can u provide the link to this please, as will give it a download and try doing it this way.

    You need the ROMS,  a game consists of a layout and a set of roms.  The legacy section only has the layouts.

    RIGHT, so why when I asked how to play the newest/latest games ''please'' did u send me into the legacy section?

    Do u now understand why im getting confused when I go into another section within legacy and doctor who is in there and it works?

    So are u saying some machines in that section do work, or none because you just said it only contains layouts.

    So the long and short of it, if I want to try games don't bother going in there?

    That was my original question.

    And another thing......why when you download it the roms seem to there, because it looked like it to me in downloads when you go to extract it

    This is why I am getting confused....

    I've read all the tutorials and tried to make sense of it, so now have gone into the legacy section and download the ''P'' section ok?

    I've loaded up public enemy which seems to have ram and gam files in, extracted it and put into folder (just as I did with other games) and loaded up the 19.8 emulator and the game wont run.

    Why please?

    Nothing really apart from being sick to the back teeth of working really hard to make this place as user friendly as the 'forum software' allows then getting asked the same questions time after time after time when 99% of them have been answered in plain easy to understand ways.  The problem is a  lot of folk want it all, want it for free and want it NOW without any effort on their behalf.

    I can't see anywhere on here where the English is bad enough for you to have got what you wanted.  It was explained a couple of times how to get what you wanted but apparently you needed a click by click set of explicit instructions... sorry but use some common sense or dear me even read the Newbie section which again has taken someone a fair few hours to compile.

    You only got 'slammed for it' (good English?) because you never thanked anyone for their help, you obviously never read any other thread relating to your point or managed to work anything else out for yourself, so yeah please fuck right off and fuck right off from DADsFME too since you asked a Q there because you did not like the answer you got here... 🙄

    I think you'll find i'm always thanking people for their help if you are kind enough to take a look and I have also donated to thank members for their hard work.

    Im not even going to rise to your pathetic post because I cant be bothered.

    In regards to Dadsmfme, I thought why not ask the question on there, as I didn't know if the same members existed as they do on here, but again thanks.

    100% agree and still no need to get shirty with us, but was just pointing out that it wasn't just him that got confused.

    Wonder if wording on the description could be added. Something like "click the download now button for a list of files starting with A" or similar?

    Exactly

    No need to get shitty mate I was also confused at the legacy downloads (of which I don’t need atm) but topics like this will not only help yourself but others including me whom have the same problems as you, now it’s written in plain English!! 
     Thanks to all for the explanation in this topic.

    Im not getting shitty mate, I just getting slightly annoyed that you ask a simple question which is the whole point of learning on a new forum and you get silly sarcastic comments from certain members simply being a tw*t

    Click on downloads at the top of the screen, then on the right hand side you'll see legacy layouts. Click on Bell Fruit and then subcategory D and you'll find it under Dr Who Time Lord.

    In this case though, you're lucky because there is an uptodate Pook version for later emulators and you can get the complete layouts with roms, under the Dxcellent forums part of the website.

    In the search box at the top of screen, if you search for the word Doctor, you'll see the ninth thread shown is the one below.

    You'll find the download link at the bottom of the first post under the picture and thanks to list.

    NOPE, did exactly what you said.....went into downloads, clicked on bell fruit and category D and the list is empty.

    Go in there yourself, nothing in there under doctor who and this is what I mean about going all way around the houses to find stuff....not easy

    Hi everyone, hope you're well.

    Has this site changed around slightly since I last logged in?

    The reason I was getting confused is I used to go into a place called artists corner and found some downloads in there, but I cant see it any longer?

    To make it simple, where is the best place to find zip files, download them and play them please as im seeing so many subsections with different things in it, I do know where to look/not to look and finding it a bit overwhelming and confusing.

    Thanks for all your help.

    There was one down Torquay the big huge arcade whatever it’s called 

    Ah you mean Golden Palms on the seafront.

    I go in there regularly, but this hasn't been in there for years.

    The owner who owned Hastings, now Moretons and Paignton Pier owns this now as well and its got kinda crap.....like most places nowadays.

    He's ripped most of the good stuff out

    Random winner and club Random Winner have a crazy fruits feature. Both in the download section somewhere.

    But you probably mean this one 

     

    Yeah THATS the one, brilliant game, but only ever saw 1 or 2 around and now don't know of any!!!

    To save me multi posting, thanks for all the replies for this one guys, hopefully this can be sorted one day, as its a great game.

    Talking of that download mentioned Random Winner is that similar then as never heard of it?

    Be interesting to know where all those Video Crazy Fruits went, as if I remember rightly they were only about for a year or two and then disappeared for good.
