Would The ability to instantly put roms in a random state each time you go to play them be possible, as if they’ve been played by other’s sort of thing but without using the auto play feature. So you never know if the machine is gonna be happy or not? Support for more than 2 hoppers per machine would be a great feature too

Yeah I am looking for a front end for my cabinet thanks for the link I will give it a try.

That looks really good. What front end are you using?

Ah ok so I need to point this window to the video file? Could you please simplify it step by step as I have no idea what to do The new version sounds like it would be great if you ever manage to get the time to complete it. It’s a shame there wasn’t much interest but then I guess it is quite a niche little hobby we all have. The idea of having the ability to sync to the site and the images already being there sounds like it save a lot of time

Yeah I have been playing around with creating the image files I’m getting the hang of it slowly but surely.I did manage to find a nice collection of logos online so that makes it a lot easier. Although if you happen to stumble across your old ones and fancy putting a link up I would be very grateful. Next on the list is getting the videos working. Are there any specific instructions for that process such as changing the file name or format? I have had a play around putting em in the theme folders. Also tried enabling the video intro using the stake menu but it just opens a new browser type window(see screenshot ). It really is a great front end and if you decide to get back on track with the development I would be happy to make a donation for all the hard work and help. If anyone else wants any of the logos and videos collection I would be happy to upload them somewhere if that’s allowed? Is there anything provided on here for artwork etc?

Managed to work it out by using the snipping tool and saving as png. Then cutting the logo part out of the cabinet image. Unless anyone can recommend a better way ?

I got it working. Thank you for your help appstrader it’s much appreciated. What’s the best way to go about acquiring the png files for the logo and cabinet. I tried taking a screenshot with mfme for the cabinet image via the F8 key but that saves as a jpg file. I tried then converting it to png with an online conversion tool but still doesn’t seem to work?

Tried it but still no luck. Even deleted and reinstalled mfme, deleted the fruitbar configuration documents from my documents and repopulated all the files

Sorry to be a pain but I have followed the instructions. I even downloaded the high roller rom to match the images. Everything is set up correctly as far as I can see but it still doesn’t want to pick up the image files for some reason. I can play the games fine I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong

Thanks for the information appstrader. I was trying that method earlier but couldn’t get it to work. I was using screenshots taken by pressing f8 in mfme as the image files and if I recall correctly they were jpg so that may have been the problem. I will give it another go tomorrow as I have everything else working and I like the app so hopefully will carry on using it once I get the hang of adding the images

No idea I just added all 4 (12,13,14,15)then played for winning over £1 and it worked. I could probably check by process of elimination tomorrow when I’m back at home

Do I need a separate folder inside each game rom folder or can I put all the images in one folder. what do I name the folder ? I tried adding a theme folder in each rom directory and taking a screenshot with f8 and placing it in the folder but not having any luck. Im sure it’s something simple I’m missing just can’t figure it out I can select and choose the games but can’t get the screenshots to show

Thanks for the info and help guys I managed to get the £1 payout working with adding the checkboxes. I’m gonna have a play around with some of the percentages on a few layouts now I know what to do Will post some pics up of the finished build when I get chance

This looks really promising is there a way to exit a layout back to the selection screen? The only way I can get it to work is by pressing escape to bring up the minimised mfme screen as shown then pressing escape again. Is that normal or am I missing something Gonna have a read of the other threads to see how to make it look pretty with screenshots etc

I did try fruit bar but couldn’t get any keys working so presumed it was touch only

Yeah I am looking for something that can be used with just button presses and not mouse or touch input ideally. I will have a play around with it anyway though thanks for the advice. The new version sounds like a great idea I will keep an eye out for it being released

Thanks Road hog mad. I will take a look at it later. Does it have any options to customise what keys can be used to navigate the menu

What is a good front end for a non touch screen cabinet. The good ones seem to be for touch screen only. I’m looking for Something easy to set up and maintain. I just need something basic really with the ability to add pictures of each machine and select and exit to the menu etc? Any advice would be much appreciated

Yeah it gets a bit much having a tray full of 10ps when you collect a few quid, especially on games where tokens are set to 10ps as well . Ok thanks I will have a play around with a few and see if I can alter the percentage payout. Do you mean in the drop down menus when the gam file is loaded?

I have poundstretcher(ace) 10p play £4jackpot layout by Pook on my cabinet but it’s wanting to pay out in 10ps only. So for wins over a pound, say £1.10 it pays 11 x 10p. I know the actual machine used to pay £1 coins. Is this because the emulator thinks it’s low on £1 coins? is there any way to solve this issue as my hopper setup is £1 and 10p hopper configuration Also, is there any way to change the percentage of each different layout or is this already chosen when a layout is created? Thanks in advance

Thanks Timbo i already have the manual It states that the 10p is on coin C (pin 17) and I presume the £1 is coin F (pin 20) but when I try and change these nothing happens.

Evening all I’m struggling with a coin routing issue on a cashflow 126 coin mech. The 10p and £1 coins are by default going into the same exit (exit D). I’m trying to separate them so I can direct them into the correct hopper for paying back out. I’m pretty sure I just need to connect a couple of wires on the routing plug but can’t for the life of me get the correct setup. Does anyone have any advice on how to solve this issue please?

4 would probably cover most if not all games 2p/10p/£1/token that would be an ideal set up. Let me know the results if you do end up trying 3 on one machine please

Ok thanks for the offer it’s much appreciated. That’s good to know. I was under the impression that mfme only supported 2 hoppers. I was thinking of having a £1,10p and 20p token set up for my build. As most of the games I used to play were cash/token games. Have you tried all 3 running on one machine successfully?

Thanks for the speedy response I spent about an hour last night trying to figure that out
