It's a good game - but if I'd not know it from the past, I would have been in the very same boat as you on it. It's not straight forward...
Its also what happens when you buy a game and have no instructions included for a pound pre internet days

Spent many a day running round searching and not knowing what to do in this game

This could be potentially interesting for slot machine layouts
MAME now has support for touch screens on Linux and Windows 8 or later, opening up new possibilities for interactive artwork. If you have a suitable multi-touch screen, you can now play chords on systems with on-screen piano keyboards. Check the documentation for specifics on how touch differs from mouse control in menus. You’ll need to turn on the enable_touch option to use touch screen support on Linux.

Why have you posted to a 5 year old thread?

The source code for a very early version of mfme can be found below

The grey area just got dark.
It just got greyer really because many of Nintendos consoles are older than 5 years and used off the shelf components.

Pizza boy have also pulled their apps from the play store I fear shits getting real:/

And all them rom sites supplying games they no longer sell that have been taken out

FME has never had a 3 year rule it was suggested and some members took it as fact copyright is copyright I mean if there was a 3 year rule what would stop me downloading all of Elvis' albums from a dump site and if his record company come after me I would be able to say 'but under the 3 year rule'...... judge would piss himself same applies here.
Emulation is not illegal but 'cracking' games before release is and thats the issue here
Nintendo are cunts of the first order when it comes to their IP they would sue you for hosting a 30 year old rom I really don't know why folks don't just boycott.

Looks like it's also soon to be dead

The DS emulator for android is free at the moment worth a download if you don't own it already

It'll get there, the wheels turn very slowly in MAME-land, they've got a bit stuck with that commit due to samples I believe, really crappy for code contributors like @SomeRandomGuy though
Haze has been saying to be more lenient on FME wrt MAME standards, but Cuavas runs such a tight ship, it can cause discouragement unfortunately...
Ironically its not happened and Haze still has similar issues now

Anyone able to try on a pc with a touchscreen does it pick up the touches if the windows one doesn't the android one won't?
I just tried with a steam deck and touching the buttons does nowt so the same behavior as the android version
Which games have layouts setup for touch?

@pete_w can you assist?

I'm not clued up on MAME and all the politics so apologise for this uninformed opinion, but wouldn't the attitude shown by Cuavas just drive people towards their own standalone emulation projects, or possibly Retroarch cores as an example?
Retroarch is a backwards step in addition to creating unneeded and out of date cores they also use obsolete emulators solely because they just run an example of this is handy whilst it runs most Atari Lynx games its emulation dates from the late 90s aside from being ported to SDL its not been worked on since great if you just want to play games but not accurately
3 hours ago, johnparker007 said:Kind of yeah. A whole emulation project is iffy as it's a massive undertaking - but if someone wanted to say get all of sc4/5/6 fruit machines working, they might make a 'fork' of MAME, to say ScorpionMAME. Then do all the work in there, free from code reviews. But ideally you'd want someone to then merge that work back to MAME. It doesn't need to all start splintering out like that into these dedicated mini-projects, as there'll be loads of duplication of work, bugfixes not making it across the forked projects... it's really not ideal longterm.
You mean like Agemame was to begin with before it was swallowed into mame

And where are those guidelines........that's the problem it's a case of do as I say not as I do

First CL is just housekeeping, second one is good though - finally get MAME sc4/sc5 on the dot alphas, they've previously been running in 14/16 segment alpha back compatibility mode
Seen the civil war from Haze on X?
I kind of see his point

Also various cleanup.

Excellent i seem to recall many layouts are already in mame for both mpu5 and sc4 i should be getting a steam deck shortly so will be able to test

I actually had a play with Retroarch I still hate its interface and it sends emulation back about 20 years but it does have a current core for MAME unsure if this handles touchscreen any better as my device is old?

Had a few games of this today I think I prefer the C64 version although the animation of the speccy one was impressive for the hardware
