My site logo is fine to use. Cheers @Reg and thanks once again for the plug :)

That's another thing. Best to check the forum WIP threads to see if someone else is making the same layout. Obviously this doesn't stop you attempting your own version at all but if its 'being done' you may want to consider something else.

Fisrtly, its very good of you to ask about rules etc, and yes there are a few niceties to consider. If you intend to use 'bits' from other layouts its polite to get permission from the original designer (whenever possible), then make a 'thank you' reference to them when it comes to making a release post. If you use someone's classic as a starting point then you should definately thank them in your release and possibly even put their name in 'Caption' in the configuration section so it shows on the status bar. What you should never do, and many newbies have fallen foul of this is to change other designers layouts and claim them as your own. That is a definate NoNo!! Lastly, at DIF you'll find that this is the place where the current DX'ers hang out and most certainly the pace to come to if you need help and assistance. It always good to see someone wanting to try their hands at DX'ing and at first you're probably going to have some questions. If you do, don't be afraid to ask as we're always happy to help

Fuck that! If it's whiskey I'll chuck it down my neck whether its single malt or not Last time I was in Glasgow they had a bottle there for about £800 and I couldn't help thinking how many bottles of Aldi whiskey could I buy with that hahah! I'm partial to St Andrew's though very nice that, even though its a blended whiskey.

Thanks for the mention @Chopaholic you may actually want to join DADsFME again at some point, but if you choose to do so please make a post next time . That way your account won't be deleted.

Yep we're not getting any younger. I fondly remember the old days when F5 came in very handy and IRC was mental

Could do with a new one entitled "MFME 20 years on" about how the scene has changed since the first version, then in another 20 years we can look back on that too. That's if I'm still around

DADsFME is hosted by our very own @Reg so each time I receive an offer of a donation I direct them to him.

I've approved your account at DADsFMEand you now need to respond to your email. Check your Spambox if you can't see it.

Yeah exactly the same. What you have to remember is 'some' layouts particularly in the legacy section were created many years ago on earlier versions of MFME and won't nessesarily work 100% straight out of the box. Some need an update/fix/tweak for them to work properly on the latest emulator.

Since you've donated here I've decided to attach the DX for you to try. Remember - Only load the Top Box. Party Time Arena DX V3.1.zip

Happy to contribute Thanks for everything you've done. MFME is an amazing piece of software and has brought enjoyment many people over the years so its the least we can do.

No, right click on the Windows task bar not the game.

Indiana Jones (so not to get confused) Looking at the video it appears your windows task bar is covering the bottom part of the layout. Right click it and if there's a tick where it says Lock the Task Bar, just click that, then you can drag your windows task bar to either side of the screen or even the top. That will give you access to the lower part of the layout, then you can alter the coinmech as per previous instructions. As for the DX of Partytime, its not available on this site but there's a clue in my avatar pic

This is a DX

Do you not see a scroll bar at the bottom of the window?

Once you load in the top box, you can load in 1,2 or 3 slaves. If you link them and close the game it'll remember the settings, then next time you load the game it should carry on where you left off. Once linked you only ever need to load the Top Box - the slaves will load automatically.

You could try going into edit mode, scroll across so you can see the coin mech, right click on it to bring up the properties window, then uncheck the box that says 'lockout' then close the properies window then click edit mode again to close it. If that works for you then don't forget to save the layout.

Just tried both and they work for me. If Goldrush worked yesterday, then so long as you've made no changes there's no reason tt shouln't work today. All I can suggest is download it again.

which version of MFME are you using?

You need to make sure the Top Box is the 'active' window, just click anywhere on it then try Alt+L again

Use the DX lamp Creator. If you have a look at existing DX's, that should give you a clue as how they're put together. Just pull them apart and see what's what, it's the best way to learn. [TIP] In Edit Mode, right click on stuff

So what's this then? https://www.fruit-emu.com/forums/index.php/files/file/2029-bfmulator-207/

Bfmulator is there in the Fruit Emu downloads section but PLEASE forget about any other emulator other than MFME. You're just confusing yourself. Like wizard says "learn to walk before you try running". Yes it can be complicated for a beginner but you're taking on too much right now.

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.
