What?????

Okayyyyyyy.

Where did you download them? You can't just load roms into the emulator and play the machine. There needs to be a visual representation of the machine I.E a layout created for them, either using real machine graphics or classic squares and circles etc... The reels need to be created/inserted and the configuration set so the emulator knows what stake, jackpot, type of coin mech and meters amongst other things are fitted in the machine etc.

Tottents were massive in the early days of the internet, but many of us have moved on because of streaming services etc... I know lots of people who used them daily, but now don't have a client even installed. Many younger members have probably never heard of them, let alone used them, because they don't remember days before streaming services and YouTube.

Just feedback, the new version, still has the same issue on my Windows 10 laptop. Still doesn't display the machines, even though they are load in as you can hear the sounds.

Thanks very much for v1.1 and thanks to @niallquinn for the download file.

Once you get the 4 rep points, you leave newbie status and introductory posts are normally removed. You have 4 rep points, so can now get properly started.

Glad it worked, been a long while since I had to do it. Some other useful things, you can move the whole top box and slaves together, by holding down the shift key and left mouse button and drag the layout. You can edit the size of the slaves by clicking on them, then pressing ESC and go into design. When finished resizing them, click on design again, then press F1 to get rid of the menu bar. Alt U, will unlink the slaves from the top box. So if you always want just one slave open with the top box, then Alt U, to unlink everything. Then close the slave/s you never want opening by clicking on them, then push ESC and close the slave and leave just the ones you want open next time and beyond. Then link the top box with that slave/s left, by doing Alt L again, then Alt S to save. When you've finished playing Ctrl Q to close top box and slaves. Then when you open the top box next time, just the slave/s you want open should load. For instance in the picture below, here's Party Fruits being played, with just slaves 1 and 3 present, as I did the above to stop slave 2 being loaded.

YAY!!!! Yes it does.

I wonder if it's a Windows 11 thing, because you did say Windows 10 and hopefully Windows 11 for those who have it.

When I open up the program, the mouse cursor doesn't appear at all, so I can't click on anything.

But how can you enable that, when the mouse/keyboard doesn't do anything, so you can't get into any options?

Might be useful to others, but my bad but I thought, as it was Windows based, you could use a keyboard & mouse to interact. I opened it on my non touch screen device and the only way out was to restart Windows, using the Windows key to bring up the taskbar and right click on the windows logo to get to options to restart Windows. Even ctrl, alt, delete doesn't work, because it hides the task manager behind it and doesn't appear as a program opened on the taskbar to right click close.

Firstly if on Windows 10 or 11 forget any version of MFME but V20.1. If on earlier Windows, V6.1 is the newest. Forget every MFME version shown in your picture, they are at least 15 years out of date. None of them support top box machines. Finally if a fruit machine is created on a certain version, it will not work on earlier version. I.E if you are trying to load a machine created on V20.1 it won't work on any other version. With these machines with top boxes, the top box is what communicates with the slaves, so without it the slaves won't function. If only the top box opens but not the slaves, then they are not linked together. Open the top box and all the slaves, position the slaves where you want them, then click on the top box so it's selected press ALT L and it should link them together. Press ALT S to save. Press CTRL Q to close the top box and slaves altogether. It should then upon opening the top box open the slaves in the same position you put them in. It can be tricky and doesn't always behave particularly the positioning, so you might find you have to reposition the slaves each time.

Your skill set is through the roof. Look forward to tinkering with it. Won't be a cabinet for me, but might make a Windows device with just this on it. Off to Google storm games.

This was my experience on my Windows 10 Laptop. Hopefully a future release may rectify the issue.

AFAIK you guys, can make as many mistakes as you like. It's just great to see another slot emulated. Some have got over excited, but no one isn't ungrateful for what you have produced so far. Hopefully things can now get back to how it was, now we have some ground rules set. I'm sure no one wants anything but mvfme to be a success.

That's fair enough, but the current tournament slot, is for a bpak, not on the v1.0 supported list.

I agree there's no rush for anything, but it's useful if those who already have numerous bpak files, try them and if they work without breaking anything let users know. If it doesn't, don't pester anyone, just leave it and wait for it to hopefully work in a future version. The enthusiasm for this emulator I would say that it's highly likely, that some users have already tried out every bpak under the sun anyway, so Grease 100 is likely to be the only other runner.

I do agree, there's no rush for anything to particularly work in the emulator. Particularly as I've not got a clue as to what games are what anyway. I do think, though that if something does work fine like Grease 100, then I don't see an issue in putting it in. It's not like we are putting it into some shared version and breaking things for everyone. But if say Grease 100, breaks something else in our own version, then it's easier to pinpoint it and uninstall a bad egg, if you haven't just dumped hundreds in the emulator. It possibly will also highlight a slot, that the emu authors, may not have tried or have available (although I suspect that they have access to what they need).

@Sparky1971 Thanks to both of you, I can confirm, I have this running no issues on my Windows 11 PC. I'm guessing there may be some others that will work out of the box so to speak. Not asking for anything myself, but if you guys and others, try and get any others working, an upload of course will be appreciated.

The other thing with the runtimes, I uninstalled the versions I had installed, when it gave the option to repair/uninstall. Then I installed them from fresh. Worked afterwards on my Windows 11 PC, but still didn't work on my Windows 10 Laptop, after doing that. There's so many configurations out there, it seems to be touch and go, whether it works or not. Frustrating but understandable, with it being the first public release. As a last resort, I'd switch off all Windows protection and Anti-Virus programs, when installing and running the first time and watch out for any pop ups, about accessing networks. I had one of the slots, ask for network permissions.

The tournament is a great idea, but I had the same thing with it. The timer ran out during free spins, I thought it might time out and I'd lose the rest of the spins, but it let me finish them. Then I pushed spin, it ended the tournament, but then errored about uploading and didn't upload the score. I'm guessing it's something that needs deciding, either end tournament middle of spins or it to end as soon as the spins finish.

I've followed the exact way to install the emulator etc, but I had an issue with my Windows 10 laptop, loading the games, but not showing the graphics I sent my ge_exec log file in a private message to Hongkong Phooey. On my Windows 11 PC, it works like a dream however. You might want to send your log file to them. It'll be in your mvfme folder.
