    WOW thanks geddy, is there any possibility of removing duplicates from the list as purely for curiosity i'd be interested to know how many separate games there are

    obviously not a complaint or demand just curious

    Eeee you are nee bother like.  There are no duplicates in the list.  They are different versions of games, i.e. different jackpots, classics, DXs etc... (here is a new  list)

    ...Is this considered the equivalent of an emptier on a fruit machine. Is it deliberate .Its about playing the game in a specific way

    Indeed, back in the day, can't remember the magazine but they used to basically compare Arcade games to the 'home' equivalent.   I remember them showing the maps for Pac-Man, that if you followed would never get eaten by the ghosts and showed a similar method for the Atari Home version in the same article.

    Cheers @Reg and @serene02

    Unfortunately due to lack of time (and how things have advanced since I last built a MAME cabinet) I'd love a as 'plug n play' as possible.  So looking for the ready built option I guess.  However I'd love one that has as much updating options as possible.  So ideally a cabinet with a good number of the best emulators on there that has a user friendly interface so I can add or even delete roms so I can get a smaller than 9000 plus games!!! but my favourites on there.  Obviously no way I'll be regularly playing 9000 games.

    So I guess a cabinet with a USB/SD card or HDD plug in play update option to add/remove roms and update emulators would be great.  Even better one with both emulators and Mister built in but I presume that would cause a few headaches on the GUI front.

    So just thinking out loud here but Arcade games are a must as genuine as possible so I presume MAME not Mister is the way forward here.  Would love plenty of console games on there from the NES, SNES, Gameboy(s) Megadrive, Saturn, Dreamcast etc etc too.

    After some advice if possible.  I'm looking to purchase an 'arcade' machine for the daughter, she is well into retro gaming.  I would obviously be aiming for a cabinet.  Back in the day (Late 1990s) I had my second PC inside one running MAME.  I would really love one to run most emulators if possible, like SNES, Megadrive, Spectrum, NES, Gameboy etc etc and of course MAME.

    What is the best solution to this?  Is it possible to use the Mister in a cabinet, she really wants a full size cabinet?  (I understand the limitations of the Mister for MAME etc..)

    I really do not have the time or even the knowhow nowadays to 'manufacture' one so I am willing to pay a bit extra to have a ready built system.  Hopefully one I can 'open' up the back and add the 'roms' of my choice if that can be done.  Cheers for any help.

    Just tried to download JPM Super Breakout and JPM Powerspin from legacy downloads but they have parts of the files missing :( - something that can be fixed?

    Yes it can all be fixed by reading the posts in the legacy section, this one here is particularly helpful..

    Full Set Of MFME Roms (23/01/22)

    in Layout Layout and Legacy Rom Support Area

    Posted

    If this is okay with @Reg I'll upload roms here for the legacy section if they are required.

    The main reason for this is sometimes, not often I change the name of the roms people have used to match the main rom datafile or in Neon Light's case to give it the correct name.  Obviously the .gam files in the legacy section reflect this.

    Anyway apart from the roms in the initial post the additions will be posted here... I love giving myself more work to please the ungrateful FME crowd ;););)

    Full Set Of MFME Roms (23/01/22)

    Here is an external link to every rom you will need to play the current set of Legacy Roms (23/01/22)  Checked no errors in MFME game manager.

    https://mega.nz/file/KtxElCJI#RzNIeTAbvBWaC9zLLJn4BZbPFdtTjvsDIxUcehto5_U

    It's about 3 gig zipped and will all be loose when unzipped so if you wish you can just plonk them all in a folder with your .gam and .fml files.  If you like each game to have a separate folder you are in for a busy evening :)

    Thanks.

  23. 4 machines with errors please help

    in Newbies Help Area

    Here is the truth on this one because I actually know the answer :)

    Originally the legacy section was to hold no roms, it still does not - just layouts.  However Chris updated MFME to 'call home' so to speak to download the roms required from here somewhere in the backend.  This of course required me to send all the new roms to Reg to upload and is something I've not done for over a year.

    What makes some layouts work and some not.  Basically the legacy layouts are factory reset and uniformed.  So for example if you have Andy Capp layout 1 running acap1.bin but then Andy Capp layout 4 the designer decided to call the roms andycapp1.bin then I will have changed it back to the original to make the sets more uniform and to cut down on duplicate roms on the backend.

    The main culprits in this are the ones in question.  A lot of Reflex roms are renamed to get rid of the silly long not needed names.  So in short MFME is looking for something that is not in the backend so will report an error.  However as folks have said this mainly effects newer games so just get the roms via the normal method.

    I've had a hell of a 2021 with illness, losing my main job, starting my own business, moving shops, more health issues etc etc and yesterday just got the legacy section back on track.  My next mission once I speak to @Reg is to sort the Rom backend out.  This will take time and at the moment maybe 10% of stuff does not work but that 10% are newer layouts and cane be obtained fully working via the normal downloads section.

    I will get this sorted, it's just going to take a little more time.  Thanks.

    Legacy Section Update

    in Layout Layout and Legacy Rom Support Area

    Posted · Edited by Geddy

    Just to let folks know as of 5 mins ago the legacy section and MFME layout gallery are up to date, last upload being Vecs Maximus_Cash_(Mazooma)_[Dx01_15jp].  Brings the total to 6388 layouts.

    Had a very busy back end of the year so the uploading got put on the back burner and at one point was about 120 layouts behind but now back up to date.  No doubt this will creep back up again and I will keep telling myself not to let it get out of hand again and again and again but it will :)  Thanks for everyone's support... have a great 2022!
