In the case of Pinball Wizard, it wasn't a problem in earlier versions of MFME Agree, it's wierd a tablet can run it ok... what kind of tablet is it i wonder? - I thought MFME only runs in windows 10 - is @Altharic running it on an Android tablet somehow? - would love to see what he's running it on and how he got a tablet to run it! MFME on the go... now would'nt that be cool! direct quote from @Altharic which i am yet to explore but HELL DO I WANNA PLAY PORTABLE!! Its a Dell Lattitude 5175 its old but surprisingly fast for its age got it for 26 quid spares and repairs on ebay because it was untested. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Latitude-11-5175-5179-Tablet-Review.164262.0.html 5 minutes ago, davep180 said: Dragging the buttons, coin mech and hoppers around would be a pain in the arse though! living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsy Posted March 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) the omni win ladder is a better way to go. as for the rest looks lovely, if you want the pic from player to do your own smaller compilations i'm not going to be one to stop you in any way is it the token one? can you send a copy to @MPU_FIVE be interesting to see if the reels issue goes away. as for the size thing soon be out of the super res stuff so back to reality haha. any interest in making a better set of reels for caesers palace? i suck at them , can't get them to be spaced properly etc. Edited March 5, 2022 by woodsy living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altharic Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 The 5130 venue is Atom based and so can run mfme however its not that good at it also has 2gb of ram and is limited to 32 bit windows. The 7130 and on are the more interesting models the 7130 has a core i5 at 1.6ghz it has a hardware fault in that it will throttle very quickly as the temps go higher when you push it later models such as the 7140 use the more thermally friendly M range of processors they are based upon Broadwell and Skylake architectures so run better. You can also run Throttlestop on them to further tweak the speeds and temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be coming to you for help if I decide to go forward in this. If that’s ok? They come up on Ebay quite often usually for pennies because the venues use mini Usb however the charger is 19.5 volts if you use a regular mini usb it charges at 5.2v at 3 watts so they think its broken and sell it for spares there are a few on ebay at the moment ones a 7130 with a missing battery and the other one will not power on if you can get the 8gb model thats even better they take standard m2 SSD drives although this 5175 can take the newer NVME. You can also get an addon keyboard well worth the extra pennies they have an additional battery in them. Seem to recall Wizard saying that mpu4 video was quite taxing on the system so I have run snakes and ladders mpu4 video as a test seems to use the GPU between 3 and 11 % and the cpu is about 40% Edited March 5, 2022 by Altharic Added pic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And charges via mini usb fine but people think it’s broken??? Can I realistically get one you would buy for under 100 quid preferably cheaper still!!

Altharic Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 As standard the 7130 and 7140 both have a 128gb Sandisk drive in I replace mine with a larger model I have the 5130, 7130 and the 7140 in addition to the 5175 although I have given the 7130 away to someone who doesn't have a computer to use I used to buy them in lockdown to repair them as I was isolating due to family members being vulnerable. The 5130 would be fine for kids to play candy crush mfme stutters, the 7130 is ok for a few minutes then the fan kicks in it slows and it can be noisy the the 7140 and 5175 are passively cooled but have really efficient cpus and not bad GPU emulators seem to run fine had a game of Royal Rumble on flycast the other day on it seems to not skip a beat. Ebay is great for them I have had a few bargains don't be afraid if it has a bios password either if you put the asset tag into the site BIOS you can get the master password and remove it parts are also quite easy to find being old corporate devices they are usually quite looked after this one I have now looks new the batteries are ok and the keyboard lights up too also supports PD 3.0 so charges off a 30w charger and usb c. I can't recommend these enough not just for FME they come with an Intel wifi card and usually a 3g or 4g modem so they can be used on the net using a SIM and if you don't want that facility the cards are worth a tenner alone so flip it back to ebay. Driver support is good too just install Windows and let Dell update run and everything is sorted then uninstall that and its good to go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsy Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 release them mate, just put a tag explaining the size variances. there's multiple versions of loads of stuff and if it's better for some people to have them this size i'm all for it. with such a shortage of stuff to do more versions are always going to happen. you have my blessing to do it to all my stuff. why not eh! living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
