davep180 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Hi @appstraderCan you make the config screen dragable please? I can't get to shut the window down as it's off screen, so haven't been able to look at the new features yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appstrader Posted December 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Sorry I did change that window a little, think its trying to go center between both screens will take a peek at it later.

appstrader Posted February 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 My last release kind of went quiet so thought I would ask if anyone had any issues with it ? Thought I better ask as no one pointed out any issues and its been a few months. 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotsmagic Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I've never used a frontend for MFME, so I'll ask a (probably stupid) question Is this for people running cabinets - if so does it support portrait mode as that is what my current plans involved... or is it aimed at those of us running Windows and looking for a pretty way to load layouts? Also, I tried going to the website linked in your forum sig but I couldn't get it to work - Quote This site can’t be reached flyme.hopto.org refused to connect.

Also, I tried going to the website linked in your forum sig but I couldn't get it to work - There is never a stupid question, The program has a dynamic layout you place things where you want them type of thing, zoom things how and where you want them. Want to see touch controls or remove them, see statistics or you don't you just turn things on or off. There are lots more options than people know it's just a case of setting everything up which does take time. The later release has a web based side panel where you can place an animated gif, video, etc or basically anything you want too. So to answer your question you can run it in landscape like my image shows or you can run it portrait just a case of building your own view. The website, I didn't renew the domain name but the site contains a thousand or so images uploaded by people who use fruitbar as well as my own images used within this program. The views shown are the actual play screens, sometimes I think people wonder if they are real but that answer is yes they are 100% real no mock ups here. 2 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appstrader Posted March 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Breaking from traditional view to show that you can simply put things where you want them. Funny enough the center logo as shown does not allow it to be increased in size as it zooms with the view of the cabinets but I think I might have to add this features, normally these logo images sit above my cabinet views but moved it down for this image. 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appstrader Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 @bungle I put the site back online and will update the release on the site shortly as I said maybe one or two issues but nothing major but it does include a few extras not in the older version, I'm sure I will need to write more details on how to do certain things as there are lots of hidden extra's in this one. If you find an issue let me know, currently running this release in my cabinet so if I find any issues I will probably fix them pretty quick. fruitmachine.hopto.org The Dynamic address above should be good for a month or so if anyone wants anything from the site you are free to grab it now, that doesn't mean the graphics are available for other people trying to get images for a different frontend, please respect a lot of work went into these images and this software so no stealing !! 1 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appstrader Posted September 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) There was always one thing that bugged me with FruitBar and that was the option to increase the scale of the top graphics there was never an option to decrease or increase the gapping between the graphics.... Obviously in this instance my top graphics are shown on the bottom but you will notice the gapping has been added, not finished just yet but it was just something i needed to add, the option shown on the bottom right corner.

Always doing something @davep180 just not necessarily FruitBar but rebuilding my library so want to get it looking right and that bit always bugged me, plus a couple of other things that I think needed resolving. As I currently have two dedicated servers I might even get the images back online and do a little more work, depends if there is any real interest in the project, not forgetting the 3d version with the cabinet designer. 2 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appstrader Posted October 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Right, the site is online fruitcade.co.uk This will allow me to put some theme images back online and support the user base of FruitBar. Already the auto upgrade feature is back online but i'm going to link this into the site which will hopefully help the community to grow as upgrades will only happen through the application with logon credentials. Although the message shown is an old one, its just a test image I did earlier so test its back online, it wont work for earlier versions of the program as they will be looking on another url. Lots of work to do on the site but at least its online for a while, The updated release will be on the site soon, just want to do a few things it does include the addition of changing the gapping as shown in the image below.

appstrader Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 This is one of the most important update features to be aware of and that's the username and password to enable the software updates. Now this feature is working its a case of casting and eye ever over the software and sorting any loose ends, not actually released a new version of this for a long time even though I have done probably quite a few things over that period of time but with no domain online it just became tiresome to keep a dynamic site online. Until now..... So not long now...... 3 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the transparency on the settings page it didn't allow you to drag the page but I have done a work around. This is fixed in the new release. Just a note to say that the form will not be draggable when you put the page into transparency this is done by using the transparency bar on the bottom right when you make the page partially invisible to align your view. The image shows the current view, I'm going to change it but might just release it and change it later as I have other developments pressing, Edited October 10, 2023 by appstrader 1 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appstrader Posted October 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Quickly added a downloadable link on fruitcade.co.uk Basically that release will allow you get all the updates straight from the site as I do the updates rather than looking for a new version. I have always released a 32bit version of the fruitbar so not sure if anyone would be interested in a 64bit release ? I am actually wondering if I should create a system where you can auto update your themes based on the roms you have so it would basically self build your archives from the site. Just a few ideas knocking about but feel free to add yours. I amended the loading screen so this is the screen you will be looking for on the new version, I will get around to completely changing this. 1 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appstrader Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Just upgraded FruitBar online, if you want to upgrade an existing version you will need to grab this from the forum the upgrade feature will download in this release. Also fixed a couple of other things..... Don't forget once installed you will need your credentials to see the new updates, you will see this opening screen once you install the new release. Don't forget you can put the top graphics where ever you want them, I personally like them at the bottom but the choice is yours 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appstrader Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 If you had the choice would you run FruitBar in 64 bit ? Everyone seems to have a capable x64 bit processor these days so thought I would ask the question. I have never released a x64 bit version but there is one built, maybe an option for donation to get a x64 bit release. 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appstrader Posted November 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Suspended the recent update for a few hours, it will be back online later today @bungle been doing a bit of testing for me, What a star !! I found the startup issue on a brand new install, turns out it doesn't like an unassigned shutdown button but didn't clearly identify that was the issue so took longer to locate it than to fix it. I have a few things to do so it should be back online later. 1 MFME & MAME Frontend software https://fruitcade.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
