  1. New MFME 6.1

    in Newbies Help Area

    Posted

    I know this might sounds like a silly question, but before all of this I used to have the BFM, JPM and 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and 10.1a versions all stored on my CD until my pc decided to corrupt the whole lot and delete EVERYTHING.

    To save all this messing about, why were all those emu's removed from Fruit-emu, as could have just easily gone back there and ran the older games on those (just as I did before) 

    I may be barking up the wrong tree but it seems silly to get rid of them as all used to be under downloads and now gone apart from Amber and JPM emu

    Please learn to walk before you try running! Rome wasn't built in a day etc

     

     

    That's very true.

    Maybe ill start by looking on here and running some games in 6.1 now that's up and running and go from there.

    I know I keep asking but could someone kindly point me towards the old/new layouts and where to find them?

    Thanks so much for everyones help, I do appareciate it

    Yes there is a way, but like I said forget about conversions at this point, concentrate on the basics.  Besides many of those layouts have already been converted, its just a case of searching for them.

    OK great, where do I find the old and new games please?

    Are they all listed together or in different areas of this site?

    Some of the files on Fruit Emu have been designed for other emulators, such as BFMulator, JPeMulator and Amber and will NOT run on any version of MFME without conversion (please forget about conversions for now - far too complicated)

    Its possible that you've downloaded an incompatible layout.  If you attach the zip file you downloaded we can tell you for sure.

    Now youre asking, no idea how to upload that.

    So if MFME wont play any of the JPM or BFM games how do you run them when I cant find a BFM one on the fruit-emu site please?

    I see the JPM one there, but not the BFM one

    So does that mean there is a way of getting them running in MFME or not?

    Reason I ask is can still use a JPM emulator on there, but cant find a BFM one any longer to run anything so thinking how I can run those without having to convert? Clearly I think im going to have to

    While we are on this subject of emulators, on a slightly different note does any one or can please explain why when I ran ''Ricochet'' yesterday on the JPM emu of Fruit-emu

    why it ran perfectly yesterday and now its running REALLY slowly today?

    Is it something to do with the machine paying out and ''thinking'' as it were a bit like Duff Beer Guide after a large payout?

    Just finding that one strange and hoping someone has the answer?

    Thanks

    Right, lets get this straight for the final time

    v5.1 is an emulator but also has the ability to convert layouts to the lastest format ( fml )

    Early layouts are in .dat format and will *ONLY* work in v5.1. Load the game and when you exit and it asks you save, say yes and the layout will be saved in .fml format

    v6.1 ( and v19 for that matter ) will *ONLY* run layouts in .fml format ( so you need to do the step above to convert them)

    So to avoid keep having to run different versions, do the conversion step above.

    v19 only runs in W10, so if you aren't running W10 it won't install and you'll have to use v6.1 which is the latest version for W7 and XP

    It's in your own interest to convert them as v6.1 has fixes etc that aren't in v5.1 and it will save you having to keep running the different versions.

    Each time you run a different version it will ask you to confirm the T&Cs which is another reason to convert.

    If it says "Unsupported Platform" the download might be corrupted, nothing to do with versions.

    RIGHT, I see.

    So I can download games from fruit emu then like I just did with Andys great escape, but I don't really need to convert this particular game because it already runs in 5.1?

    So Barcode isn't working because its corrupted? Normally this would load (if it was a different game) in 5.1 then and convert if necessary?

    Do most games on desert island all work in 6.1 then?

    Your're missing a step using MFME 5.1, once an old game loads correctly you need to go to

    Design / Layout/Game / Save Layout

    This will covert the old layout file to the new version.  After that you can use a newer version of MFME including 6.1 right up to 19.8

    But I cant do this with Barcode because it wont let me get to this stage to save it because it wont load

    Another thing I have just noticed as the answer is probably ''no'' but do you have to read the T's and C's each time you load an emulator even though you have agreed to it the once, 

    or do you have to do it every single time?

    I cant understand whats going on here.

    Now ive downloaded ''Barcode'' from the BFM section of fruit-emu and now running it in mfme 5.1 it says unsupported platform.

    So can I please ask how do I make this run, as did everything you've said and loaded in 5.1 first, exited but no option to save?

    Now I really am confused.

    Just downloaded 5.1 and put it into my folder.

    Went into fruit emu and downloaded ''Andys Great Escape'' and ran perfectly in 5.1.

    Ive exited the game (as advised) and saved it and now it launches in 6.1 also, but whats the difference?

    I was under the understanding that 5.1 isn't an emulator, but a converter but it runs in this, which I cant get my head around because this seems to contradict everything I have been trying to do

    I am SO sorry to be a pain, as just so un-technical you wouldn't believe (well you probably do)

    So when I click on your link I click ''open'' first yes rather than save or save as?

    Then extract and save to folder, correct?

    Then in order to run older games I download/extract a game the way I used to on fruit-emu for games that are not here and put them into a folder?

    Then what do I do please? Run the 5.1 open the game, close it and then run it again on 6.1?

    While I am here, rather than sit here like a sitting duck waiting for replies LOL could someone please send me the link to the page as to where you find all the games to download/old and new and where I find them?

    Many thanks

    I see.

    Ok ill get a donation done in a sec, so basically when I re-download it do I run/save or save as before I put it into a separate folder?

    And do I need WinRAR now or no?

    Thankyou

    v5.1 is a rar file not a zip.

    You need to install winrar to extract it.

    Google winrar

    I could really do with someone talking me through this as now got run/save/save as.

    No idea what to do with it or where to store it and then what to do with my 5.1 file in regards to this
