  1. A rom with a different jackpot/stake, has been hacked, so it can be set to 20p £4.80. We have £10 and £4 rom in the other DX's.
  2. The minimum looks to be £5 from the drop down menu for donations. Dont forget to check out the gallery of layouts. It's a great way to find machines you may have forgotten about, as well as it covering at least 90% of layouts available. https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/gallery/category/5-mfme-layouts/
  3. Wizard knew all the pleasure he gave to members. The members got together to show him how much we appreciated him a year or so before he past. Sadly he did leave the world far too early, but MFME would have always been a WIP for his lifetime as he was a perfectionist. MFME will live on and keep his memory alive, until every last machine that it can emulate, is emulated.
  4. App producers panicking and can't really blame them. But these things are still on the Internet and millions of computers/phones etc. As I said NDS emulation is extremely advanced with what's already out there and Wii, Gamecube also. Even Wii U is very good also. Most emulators for systems pre these are extremely advanced and/or highly unlikely to be affected. XBOX systems and Vita being exceptions. Its definitely changed emulation though, but hopefully will also give a better insight into what is acceptable by law and what isn't. Yuzu in particular pushed it too far IMO and Citra is a victim because of it.
  5. I'm sure these emulators will live on. Of course updates may not happen, so we are left with under counter updates or accepting some games, won't work properly or at all. Not sure about cores in Retroach and others like Dig. But frontends allow for standalone versions of emulators to be used. And these emulators will still be downloadable somewhere or other as well, in apk files for Android Thankfully Drastic is extremely advanced, and Dolphin and even Cemu are very advanced.

    Sinbad £6T/£10

    The numbers are randomly added by the machine, even when nothing is on the reels. Not sure if Harry talks about it on the DX video, but he mentions it on the Sinbad classic layout video, from his degsy days.
  7. Enjoying reading about these experiments. Hard to explain, but it takes me back to the early days of FME, when layouts got played significantly and people would post their experience of playing the layout and how they have done.
  8. Yes, the stereo is reversed on some Scorpion 4 layouts. It was a bug that I believe occurred in v20, as it wasn't present in v19.8 IIRC. Talk about it in this thread
  9. You got your rep needed yesterday, with 5 welcomes from us, so you should be able to download MFME now. You can download a limited amount of machine layouts for free, every month, but even a small donation can get you access to over 1500 machines to download. Take a look in the gallery for a good idea of what's on here. https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/gallery/category/5-mfme-layouts/ There are also at least 50-100 other layouts not shown in the gallery.

    Cash On The Lash A Mazooma machine on Scorpion 4 tech £25, 30p, 80% KEYS: `= Cancel, C= Collect, 1= Hold 1, 2/Hi= Hi, 3/Lo= Lo, E=Exchange, Space=Start N= Nudges, P = Pick, T= Take Cash, U/M= Move Up 0= Insert £1. THANKS TO: Wizard (RIP), for the wonderful MFME emulator. Player for the fabulous artwork for reference and hopefully a future DX. Dad, for allowing the reels from his £5 DX, but coming up with a better solution. Infection, for highlighting the fact a layout was needed and for his resources he provides for FME in general. The Program and Sound Rom provider. Picture of real machine, shrunk, but a great DX will be made from Player's excellent artwork.
  11. The layout will require v20.1 because it's been produced in that version. It won't work in earlier versions. The error is basically the tech way of saying that. There's an older Tik Tak Cash layout done years ago, that does work in V5.1
  12. So sorry to hear about your mum. As you say, the best place for her. To me the most important person in the world, is my mum.
  13. Just to be aware, even if setting to stereo, that sound on Scorpion layouts, can come out reversed I.E. Left, comes out of right and V.V. It's an emulator bug, that of course sadly won't be fixed now.
  14. Unchecking both hoppers in the configuration screen, stops the constant payout sound, if that's what you are talking about.
  15. It can be very addictive. The issue after 20 + years of FME, is finding new stuff to do, as we already have so many machines emulated. But DX's of machines where we only have classic layouts are always welcome. Also the odd new machine resources occasionally still pop up. Plus we have a lot of older DX's that could do with a modern makeover. Of course all this is dependent on resource being available.
  16. Well done on getting this far. It looks like you are going beyond the book and aiming to complete what we call a DX (deluxe version) of the layout. There are several people here, who will be able to assist with that, possibly by sending you videos or a written guide. You basically now have a classic layout nearly done. If you were aiming to complete a classic layout, you'd just need to size, colour and place all the lamps and buttons out as they would be one the actual machine.
  17. Make sure the meter bar is showing press F9 if not. Then tick the S Door (service door). Then click on configuration across the top bar and on that screen you can set the stake/prize and %. Then untick the S Door. Pressing Ctrl R, will reset the machine.
  18. The easiest way to learn, is to follow the layout creation in the book TBH. After about 16 years, it was how I finally learnt how to create a layout and have done 50+ since. As for what machine to start with, well TBH, there's not a huge amount left, that hasn't already been done. But it's best to start with a machine on a technology, that has good test modes, such as Epoch. Those test modes, will indicate, what symbols are on the reels and will name what is written on the lamps, such as 1 Nudge etc.... At first, you may need to look at other people's layouts on the same technology to see some other settings, if the machine, you are creating is alarming. But if like me, when I started out, you don't have the first idea, the book is or similar to get started. Perhaps @Reg will send you the book or allow it to be sent to you in a PM, because of this on the download page for it " I do not give permission for this to be hosted or shared in any form apart from direct download and you are downloading this on the understanding that you will not post / share this elsewhere."
  19. There is no one size fits all. The emulator, emulates exactly what you would need to do on a real machine. It will depend on the machine, the tech of the machine and the manufacture of the machine. On the more modern techs, normally you can alter it in the configuration menu. On these machines, you need to open the machine door/s, normally just the S door. To open the door, make sure the meter bar is showing, by pressing F9, then check the S door button. Then go into the configuration screen, from the top menu bar and you'll see the Stake/Prize and %. You can alter the % and then close the door. Of course if the roms, don't allow a certain cost of play or %, the machine will error. Or it may alarm and show an indication, the % has changed, but still boot. Don't forget, you may wish to ram clear on the configuration screen to reset the machines memory of ever being on a different %. BUT doing that particularly on Scorpion 5 machines, can break the machines and the whole configuration for that machines, needs resetting back up. On older techs, where it can't be done that way, it's a matter of flipping the dips and seeing what it brings. Unless you have a manual for a machine, you'll never know, what each dip does, without trying. An example, my Circle Line layout, I discovered it defaulted to 78%, but by putting dip switch 8 to the on position it changed it to 88%. That of course won't be the case for all machines. Another member found another dip which altered the %. Some dip switches, don't change %, but do other things, like auto pay out on any win, disable the attract mode or change the price of play. One handy screen which shows good info, is the diag screen, again selectable from the top menu bar. Open it and check all the boxes. When machines boot, you will often see the price of play and % information. If any error occur it will also show what the error is.

    Circle Line

    Version 1.0.0

    82 downloads

    Here's Circle Line. I believe this is quite a rare Ace machine on spACE tech. I only ever saw/played it in one arcade in the Edgware Road, London. 20p play £6 Jackpot 78% payout (to switch to 88%, press dip switch 8 to the on position, on dip switch 1 bank on the configuration screen). KEYS: 0 = INSERT £1, ' = Cancel/Collect 1 = Hold 1/Exchange, 2= Hold/hi, 3 = Hold/lo, Space = Start THANKS TO: Wizard (RIP) - Remember NONE of us, would be playing any of this, without this genius. The Rom provider. The Reel provider. Infection for the image used. Chris217 from The Mecca, for videos on youtube, helped clear up some stuff (search Circle Line fruit machine on youtube) ACE and whoever owns them now, for leaving FME alone, all these years. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT LAYOUT This is one machine I have been wanting to see for ages emulated and have mentioned it a few times. To avoid any confusion and to be clear, this layout is all my own work, with the exception of course for the roms/reels. I've put as much detail as possible in the layout, but some section aren't quite right. The layout is in cash jackpot mode, token input is enabled and I'm sure it can be made into token payout mode, if people ask on the forums. I did have a go but nothing I tried worked and it makes no difference to the gameplay. To the far right, out of sight, are some additional lamps not used and some checkboxes, if needed.

    Certainly not the best Outrun machine, but could be fun, in 2 player mode. My only experience of this, was on a lads holiday in Lloret de Mar back in 1998. The hotel had one and we had a few goes on it. But then we found a 4 seater, Daytona USA in a nearby arcade, so that was it, we never bothered with it.
  22. Dreadful game, but one I used to load up on the C64 just to listen to the music.
  23. Not watch the video yet, but when I saw the name, immediately I remembered this was on a coverdisk of a mag. Was quite a decent, considering it was free, but eventually a repetitive game.
  24. I run MFME on a Surface Pro, works very well. I can't say about Jukebox Videos. Never used it. I got mine on Ebay second hand a good 5-6 years ago now, still functions absolutely fine. This would be a good starting point, comes with proper keyboard and good battery life. It's a Pro 4 model. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115438481148?hash=item1ae0ab6efc:g:EVsAAOSwuU5gW4P8&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwE6ifHlIayVZJVC%2Bzv9YaKiIH5NG5iPvIcthRji5ZaPd6%2BaEsi1khAdpLb%2BWaHNTda9A9jt6NMLcEANYlbKLWCirZc177%2FcDtHM%2BCORzxVrelSX%2BeDWP5x8EfheiSAqPOnhDIzLvarY2hHkZ45AVWfqZas26lu298xqTtEdu9sUp%2BeTPtE%2B%2BunvNEtim6docvG9LVMkkRJqn1ra0WEnSS4Ab%2BMUuE8jSsVUKgk%2BngLb0lxl3z57EqwM%2FTYof5KoR6A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8Sfh4LTYg Use that as a starting point, if you can get a Surface Pro 5 with keyboard in budget, it'll be worth it, paying £20-£30 more. If not I would suggest you look on Facebook Marketplace or local sellers, would you can see the goods.
