When you load in a layout, the roms will automatically be attributed to the layout.
You have 9 layout files there. C01 being Classic layout 1, DX01 being DX layout 1.
You can tell straight away some will be the wrong jackpot or stake, by looking at the gallery for the layouts.
In the description for C01 for instance it's a £10jp, so no good.
So having found out, which ones are £6 layouts, then you need to load them in the emulator, then see if they pay out in tokens/cash, perhaps the layout notes, might say so.
Failing that, you could try looking at https://www.planetemu.net/?section=recherche&recherche=road hog&type=Tous les mots&rubrique=roms
You need to download each individual rom and then when you go to upzip it with winrar, it will show in the description what type it is for instance the bottom one in the list on the link above R_0 3.0, when you go to unzip it, is labelled rh5p8.bin, meaning 5p £8.

I play tested a few of Scorpio's layouts back in the day. One of them was the MPU4 machine, Rich and Famous.
https://www.fruit-emu.com/forums/files/file/892-rich-famous-1280-wdx/
They were a very good DX'r, who just came out of the blue.
Then they seemed to disappear off the scene, for no obvious reason (i.e not involved in any arguments etc and I think it was during one of the scenes calm periods too). I hope they are ok and I hope perhaps they are still around under a new name or will rediscover the scene once again.

Strangely the second member who joined in November 2016, asking about not being able to download today.

If you are a non donator, you will be subject to download restrictions.
Limits for non donators are in the FAQ

If you are talking about machines with £15 - £70 jackpots, then the button has a few different uses.
It's basically a hint or slow down button.
So depending on the machine, it's can be used to slow down a skill stop, give a true skill on a mystery, bonus or dapple gamble. Also it can give a hint as to what the next hi-lo number will be, or even give a hint on what a feature does, before you decide to take it.
On some machines, you hear a laugh sample, when it activates, but if the button lights during gameplay, it's always of use.
If it says anything, it usually, lets play or play Barcrest or just has the Mr Barcrest logo on it.

There aren't any as far as I know.
You should have a look at The MFME for new designers guide by Reg and have a go. It'll show you how to create a non graphical "classic" layout
https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/topic/559-mfme-for-new-designers/#comment-1551
It's how I managed to produce my first layout for MFME, after I had been a member on the FME scene for 16-17 years beforehand. I've now done about 50 layouts.
All the graphical DX layouts we have, start by either the DX author or someone else, producing a classic layout for the machine beforehand.
If you manage to get a classic layout done, do post it, even if it's the one from the guide. Then if interested in doing a graphical DX layout, then I'm sure our DX layout designers will help you out.

Hi
The games in the legacy section only contain the layouts but there are no ROMs in the games, or at least the last time I downloaded from this section this was the case so you will need to source the ROMS before you can actually play the game
For about a year and a half now, upon loading a legacy layout, the roms are automatically downloaded and added to the layout.

Strangely I was just thinking about doing a post to thank you, as it's not practical, to like every screenshot post.
Thanks very much for all you do, I mainly use the gallery often for looking to see if previous releases of potential layouts have been done.
I also use it to look for old classic layouts from the early days of FME, where a DX has never been released.
Background stuff like this, is just as important as the next release.

Under downloads you'll see legacy layouts.
https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/files/category/37-legacy-layouts/
Click on the manufacture of the machine, then if necessary click on the section it will be in, I.E. A-E for layouts titled A-E.
Then click on download this file, it will then take you to the list of machines and just select which one you want.
It will download several version, if several are available.
Then when you load them into the emulator, the emulator, will automatically find the roms needed to run the layout.
The layout gallery, is the place to look, if you can't remember a name of a machine, just sort them by caption, to sort them by alphabetical order.

I pre-ordered one of these a few months back.
A bit expensive, but I just kind of got into collecting mini consoles/computers, without the intention of doing so.
Many of them, I haven't even opened, but it's quite cool seeing them all in a row on a shelf behind me, when I turn around from my computer desk.
Normally, I would say, what's the point in buying something and then not opening it, but I see these like ornaments or paintings for an old school gamer, something to display. These are my little treats to myself every so often.

Codfather, make sure in the configuration screen, the meters are set to Meter 1*1 in and Meter 2*1 out and that sec is set to no.
South Park, make sure Hopper 1 is unchecked and Hopper 2 is checked.

I get this also.
I've a feeling there are different versions of fonts on different versions of Windows. So a layout produced in Windows XP, 7 or 8, will use a different version of the fonts, to what you have installed on Windows 10.
I find when I produce a layout on my Windows 8.1.1 laptop and use the Lithograph font, the font looks different when I finish the layout on my Windows 10 PC, sometimes words that fit correctly on lamps in the Windows 8.1.1 version, don't fit in correctly when the layout is loaded on Windows 10.
Why are you using v19.8, when v20.1 is the latest version of the emulator. https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/files/file/687-mfme/

As I said a real shame.
I think the channel probably went beyond your initial ideas and I can see it would have the potential to upset your family/friends/work and even manufactures.
It's not worth real life issues, just to cater for a couple of thousand people.
It's the same, with all social media, you do have to be extremely careful, not to offend or upset people.
We live in a world, where something said 15 + years ago, can see trouble brought to their door.

Really sad to read that.
Watched many of the videos several times, so much I could relate to.
Clearly you will have a really good reason, as you're not the sort of person, who would make rash decision, just because you can.

In the configuration screen, untick both hoppers.

I was playing Crystal Maze and decided to switch the reel bounce off, so exited and took it off, then went back and the machine loaded in the background and you hear it playing, but couldn't play it in the arcade.
Then none of the machines would work.
So exited the arcade completely and reloaded it and non of the machines working.
Another exit and reload and now machines loading correctly again.
Is there a log or anything that players can send or attach for you to see what is happening.
One other thing, the lamps on Crackpot are extremely spongy and jumpy, not sure if that a known issue. I seem to remember some talk about this machine before.

Hi John downloaded new arcade sim today looks amazing and really love the new machines you have put in
. This keeps coming up sometimes probably just my crappy laptop also comes up with the second picture, once I minimise the second picture it all works and you can play it, only does this sometimes others times works straight of as you would expect it to, have you any ideas why this is ?

Go into the preferences in MFME and untick Snapshot Reminder, that may stop that happening.

On my first load up, all machines wouldn't start for me, I could hit enter and stand in front of them, but then nothing happened. On the second load no issues.
One issue I can't see on the list, but I'm sure is known about, is that the box amount on all DOND machines are visible and on some the box amount reel isn't lined up properly.
I saw some cabinets, when standing looking at them from a 90 degree angle and from behind the machine, you could see what looks like the framework at the top side of the cab was detached from the rest of the cab.
A minor issue, the feature entry music on Adders and Ladders is cut short and when you get a win, it normally does a drop down of the lamps to the win gained and then does a countdown on amounts lighting the feature exchange against amounts one at a time, but AS immediately show them, rather than light a lamp at a time.

I went to 4k, a year ago, when I got my new PC, but I don't even think 4k has hit its peak yet.
I think 8k gaming is a good few years away yet.

They are not available in the current released build. But should be in the next build, along with some bug fixes.

Ah ok, Vecra666, maybe right about you have too few posts.
I'm sure Reg will help you out.
As it's your layout, I guess you can upload to wherever you want. But to keep things as neat and tidy and to get the most people to see and download it, it's best to upload it via the downloads here.
Providing it's your own work, uploading it here, will also improve your reputation on the site and get you a fml artist badge. So people will know you are a layout producer.

Hi, do you not have submit file on this page?
-
Yes,
Click on design, then edit mode (or CTRL E), then click on the configuration tab.
Where it says display port, make sure you check meters, it's probably checked for Displays.
Then close the configuration screen, come out of edit mode (press CTRL E).
Then reload the layout and it say yes to accept changes.
The above will work on several MPU3 machines, that will alarm when trying to enter coins.

I also took advantage of this to fix the Bands of Gold DX you recently reviewed, but although it gets the reels straight again, every few spins they go pissed again, but if i get a nudge they suddenly straighten up again... i'm guessing Bands of Gold does'nt like MFME 20.1 - as i remember on your video you was using MFME 3.2 to play it.
While i'm here, slightly off track but still to do with layouts seen on your channel, did anyone ever do a DX for Sinbad? I know it is a machine you were particularly passionate about. - I know there's a DX of the German one but it's just not as good a machine as BWB's UK Sinbad.
Cheers...

To stop the reels going out of sync, go into design, edit mode, then right click on reel 1, choose properties, then on the left hand side put a 2 in the Opto Tab box and apply the change. Come out and then do that for the other two reels.
It will instantly stop it happening, then just save the changes when finished playing.
There are several layouts for this machine, some have the 2 into the Opto Tab box, for anyone else, thinking it doesn't do that on my version.

I enjoy watching RMC.
The guy Neil, seems like he is a genuine guy, who doesn't profit from what he does on this project.
If I had anything to give away that I thought was genuinely worth preserving I would be happy to send it to him, confident, that he wouldn't just sell the item or keep it for himself.
