Hi The first machine that had an IM that could turn on during the feature i think was BFM Cops and Robbers where you could get informer when landing on the last Cop square on the board instead of killing you off.

And there was the Choose a nudge cheat as well.

Hi Completely off target there then lol

I think these machines came from an arcade in Blackpool, and i think i know which arcade it was, The one that used to be outside the Pleasure Beach it was run by a nice old guy, I used to go there as he has many classic fruit machines to play as well as the old video games it was a true classic arcade.

To be honest i think as stated in another reply to this thread this guy has more to worry about than a few people here calling him names, The big players may be happy to let us use there copyrighted material for free and non profit, but when people start to trying to make cash from there work, they will start going after them hard. For those of us fortunate to be here right at the start of the scene with MPU3/4 which wizard was selling it at £50 but then i believe he got some communications from Barcrests legal team, where after some discussions between the party's it was agreed that wizard could carry on with the emulator but he would not charge for it nor would he package it with roms. And this has been the situation ever since. So selling the emulator with any games is an outright breach of these conditions, however as Wizard is sadly no longer with us it would be up to whom ever now owns the emulator and associated rights to pursue this legally assuming they want to . The above may not be 100% accurate on how it became free and am happy to be corrected if any one who was here at the beginning as a more accurate version of events at that time.

Hi Yes i believe access to the old roms section is only accessible to site donators so therefore all you need to do is give a small dontaiton to the site from the link on the home page and then you will have access to the old roms area.

Hi Not many of us here actually knew Wizard and even less of us actually met him, Reg the site owner here being one such, but we have sent messages to him through this board and others, and we have shared with him though his legacy MFME a small part of him, and although we will never have an update there are so many machines that can be emulated, by keeping the scene going, is the best legacy we can have for the man who touched us all Chirs J Wren.

Hi I am in agreement with all you have said chops, but i am not affected in the same way as you and more so Harvey who had actually met Chris, I am saddened by his passing like everyone here, but not affected like you have been i could hear that in your video that you posted last night. I think this is more to do with the way i have deal with this sad life event. But my thoughts are with Chris's Family at this sad time, and I hope your long walk helps you work through your feelings at this sad times.

Well said Chops i have not put anything about this in any of my posts or threads, but like you this little program from Chris, has definitely saved my wallet, and my relationship. As well as my sanity.

RIP Chris thank you for the joy you have brought to many with your emulator, you have been taken from this world way to soon, condolences to your family at this sad time. As long as this community exists and people play your legacy, your memory will live on forever.

I have just looked at the spec of that Lenovo, I would not choose Lenovo due to reliability issues I have had with them in the past both in a professional capacity and personal, however the 500GB is a HDD when you get the machine for your intended use I would clone that HDD then remove and replace it with a SSD you can get them for not much now and for what you want a 256GB should be ok but leaving you with the option to install a 2nd and possibly 3rd one later on if you need to. HDDs produce a lot of heat, if you don't want to do the above then I would suggest getting a HDD cooling fan for the drive to help keep the heat off it, as heat and HDDs don't mix. It will reduce the life of the drive. This is again from personal experience.

As a further suggestion I would incorporate a couple of cooling fans into your cabinet as well to give extra cooling to the PC, you can use a couple of large or medium sized PC fans and power them from the PC, PC's are not designed to work in completely enclosed cabinets with no air flow to keep them cool also If you can find a PC has SSD rather than HDD as these produce less heat, and if your going for a dedicated video card I would get one with its own fan for cooling as well.

Hi This is a BFM game there was one in Funland Arcade at Blackpool in 2018, as I played it on 10p/£5 and got a nice little streak out of it other BFM video machines have been done for example monopoly wheel of wealth, so unless this one has some protection or other issue, and we have the roms I cannot see any reason why it could not be done I would also love to see it, there as also a cops and robbers video machine round at about the same time if I remember as Funland also had one of these.

Hi Dads site has many games that are not on this site as dad tends to only release his own layouts on his site dad has done a lot of the Union games machines for example and also many of the Empire catalogue of lo-techs as DXs however I have been following your threads jackpot and have noted the issues you have been having as a new member of the MFEM club I am considering making some Dummies guides to the Emulator to add to my You Tube channel I am at the moment working on the best way to do this as its going to need me to add commentary and actually do some post production on the vids so it may take me a week or 2 to get the 1st one up and online, create a thread both here and at dads once the 1st one is up so I can get some feed back.

The DX version should work I have just downloaded it and installed it again to make sure it works on with my system and it does although I did have to resize the slave units to get it how I wanted it but other than that it ran right out of the download.

Hi Another thing that may be stopping your comms working is if you have had a pop up from your file wall asking you to allow MFME and if you have said no then comms will stop working, I accidently did this when I changed to Zone Alarm and had to then manual allow MFME to pass through the filewall to get the multi player games to work again

Jon You will need to click on save when you close the game in 5.1 if you don't it wont convert and therefore will not open in the latest version of the emulator or 6.1 if your not running windows 10 if you are the I would deffo suggest you get version 19.x as this version has many new and updated features.

Hi Geddy Cheers I noticed this just after I posted the message lesson read the thread before jumping in with my size 10's

Hi Please can you advise if you need to be a donator to download from this section as when I go to any section I get the message you cannot download this file Cheers

Hi No probs at all however as some of the other guys have pointed out some of the older layouts have not yet been converted so if you want to play these you will need t grab V5 of the emulator as well

Good stuff once its updated accept the T An C agreement again and you can then play all of the layouts here and at other sites for this version of the emulator

Hi On the about screen which you should have an option as the last one on the menus the check for updates should be directly below the MFME logo on that screen above the scroll window if you cannot see it then try uninstalling and re installing the emu
