Hello All. First this is my first true community post so I hope it's in the right place. I went with this area as there was already a good post about Touch-Play @tspeirs front end, that post also had a couple of comments on Pinaball X another great front end from Tom's Spesoft stable. I do quite a bit of repairs and a couple of years back I built a cab to gather all my emulators in one place. Adapted from a scrap arcade game if you are interested you can read about it here: Touchscreen Mame/Pinball Cabinet - Gamer Rigs - Spesoft Forums (gameex.info). Anyhow after a lot of looking around I decided to go with the GameEx front end - this is Tom's work again and it's a really flexible piece of software, it offered me the list view I was looking for that suited my cab. Originally targeted for MAME arcade games it has had a basic MFME profile hiding in it's emulator set up screen for a while now. As I struggled to find any information on how to configure things for the later MFME builds I thought that this may help someone who wants to give GameEx a try. First up here's what it looks like running and there's a video of it in action here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Ao6k3CIlgOqjrJV3pqkapRjsgNwz0g?e=NPcuHH To get it going you need MFME and a licensed version of GameEx installed (it's added ability to handle .zip archives solves a number of issues). Once they are in you will find and option to add MFME in the GameEx setup programs 'Emulators' section - look for Fruit: Fruit Machines (MFME) then configure as follows changing the file paths to match your own: Now go to your MFME layouts folder and zip up each machines folder, make sure to name the folder before it's zipped up with how you would like the machine to appear in the GameEx menu as that saves a bunch of messing around not least as if you use the Win 10 right clicked 'Send to' - 'Compress (Zipped) file' option it will name the file for you. In my case I then deleted all my machine files as the .zip archives save a lot of space, but don't do this if you are going to use MFME outside of GameEx otherwise MFME will not see the files. Finally here are my MFMEv20.1 settings: I wanted to thank the folk that made me welcome on my introduction so I hope this helps someone out. Mace
