Sounds good - same as mine. I am assuming when you go to the pinup pooper setup and add games it is listing all the fruits that you have as .gam files? (this would show that you have your folder settings correct)

I would doublecheck that your path statement is incorrect. Where is your MFME.exe stored? If the display rotation is not included it still works but the fruit machine layout is just displayed sideways. The display rotation btw can be found here: http://noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=misc#display

Thats weird - I tried it this afternoon and it worked fine. The images attached to my post are from my test machine so they should be good. In general what you should see is that you launch your fruit machine, The screen rotates (the blue pinup popper bar will now be on the top right hand side of the display). Then the fruit machine should appear. When you press escape to return to pinup popper it works in reverse. What part works/does not work? If you let me know where you are getting stuck I can try and advise. I am assuming that when you run MFME on it's own all is good? Cheers Tolax

So I am added the following two apps to my install of baller installer (https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=baller_installer).... Rotate Display - to rotate the screen for MFME (and then rotate it back again) http://noeld.com/dl.asp?filename=display.zip Window Closer - automatically closes the notes window popups. https://www.murgee.com/window-closer/ Launch script in Baller Installer... START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\display.exe" /device 1 /rotate 90 timeout 2 START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 5 1 30 "MFME*" cd /d "[DIREMU]" START /min "" MFME.exe "[GAMEFULLNAME]" Close Script in Baller Installer START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\display.exe" /device 1 /rotate 0 timeout 2 "[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE" WINTIT "MFME" 5 1 taskkill /f /im "Multiple Fruit Machine Emulator" taskkill /f /im "MFME.exe" Not pretty - probably a much better way of doing it but it works reliably (so far). Notes I am running the Windows Closer app at launch. The purpose of this is to close the notes file that appears when you launch certain fruit machines. Reason I did this is PinUpPopper and MFME both use the escape key. Press the escape key to acknowledge the note and pinup popper auto closes MFME. This was the nicest (easiest) solution/hack I found to not having to use a mouse. To configure it I ran multiple machines in MFME - when a notes window pops up you refresh the Closer app - select the window you want to close (TLayoutNotes) and add it to the list. My MFME is running from C:\MFME\v20\ Machines/roms are installed within C:\MFME\v20\Fruits Curated (I like to keep just the machines I am play rather than go for every machine ever made - still have 70 machines though......) If you use pinup popper you can scroll through the fruit machine lists and it shows an image of each one. If you do this remember you have to rotate all the images as the screen is running at 270 degrees when pinup popper front end is running. MFME only runs on the main display - I created a generic fruit machine jpg for the top display (DMD) and then in the emulator config I specify that display 2 is also enabled. Image attached. Number of images attached of configurations/images. As usual MODs feel free to edit/delete if anything here is not allowed. Any questions let me know. Cheers Tolax

You do have to rotate the screen 90 degrees when launching/closing MFME- you also have to rotate the screen shots for pinup popper as well so they look correct when you scroll through. I'm back home later in the week so I can grab/publish the script - can also post my machine screen images as well if needed. Mine is a curated list of my favorite fruit machines so it is by no means complete. Might try and grab a video so you can see it in action.

My VPin is based on Baller Installer Pinup Popper - https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=baller_installer Nice thing about this is that it lets you add new emulators easily and launch them via a script. Couple of notes.. You have to rotate the screen 90 degrees before launching MFME as the pinball tables are run at 270 degrees One challenge I had was in MFME you press escape to close the popup 'notes' - baller installer uses escape to close the emulator. Sure there are more elegant solutions but In the end I found a Window Closer program which scans for the notes window to pop up and then closes it automatically after a second. (Please let me know MOD's if this is not okay to mention). Works well. Be happy to post the script/program list I used if it would be helpful.

The pinball machine comes with a 32" 1080p screen. Makes some of the older tables look somewhat stretched but very playable. Some of the MAME games like Centipede are not terrible either. .

Fun winter project. Wanted an all in one machine that could play fruit machines, pinball and arcade games. Purchased an Atgames Arcade Legends Pinball Table, the vips board and the arcade control panel - (https://www.atgames.net/arcades/legends-pinball/). Cost was around $1K time I purchased cables and a few other things. Connected up an old PC I had lying around and installed PinUp Popper Baller Installer - (https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=baller_installer) Couple of hours later I have a machine that plays MFME, Addams Family Pinball, FX3 Pinball (steam) and MAME. Using the control buttons on the panel for most of the Fruit Machine controls. The trackball acts as a mouse for some of the tables with lots of buttons. Still lots of config needed (graphics etc) but I just played Cash Explosion for an hour instead of configuring more so I put that down as a success. I can post the PinUp Popper config screenshots if needed. Took a little figuring out (well cribbing from people smarter than me). Pictures attached. It was a garage project...... Apologies for the quality. Clean up will come later Tolax

Okay - moving this to cabinet building - short version got it running pretty well. Can play Pinball and Fruit Machines via a single interface. Lots of tweaking to do but works to my satisfaction. Now to get Adders and Ladders running.

Short update - managed to get the fruit machines loading via the interface. Will play some more and then post some pics and instructions. One thing I need to investigate is that some of the machines pop-up an instruction window and that causes the app to lose focus. More as I have it Tolax

Looks like I might also have to use iRotate or something similar- most virtual pinball tables are designed to run at 270 degrees rotation - it is a legacy thing apparently.

Recently purchased an Arcade Legends Pinball Machine with Arcade Control Panel - Arcade Control Panel for Legends Pinball – AtGames E-Store You can hook a PC up to the pinball table and people are running numerous PC games/emulators including Zen FX3 Pinball, MAME etc . Thinking I could run MFME and make a combo Fruit Machine / Virtual Pinball Machine / MAME machine.... Seems like there are enough buttons/trackballs etc to make it interesting. Anyone tried this before? Seems like it should be fairly simple by integrating joy2key or something similar.. Though 'should be fairly simple' has got me in trouble before.... Cheers Tolax
