serene02 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 To enjoy the latetst layouts you are going to need to upgrade to Win10 at least. You could get an earlier emulator but you won't find many layouts that will work in those any longer. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearecity Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Get version v6.1 from this page. The last version that works with Windows 8.1. https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/files/category/71-legacy-releases/ Most layouts released before July 2019 will work with V6.1, unless they were updated after that date. So check out the DXcellent section of the forum, for lots of layouts. All layouts in the re-release section of DXcellent should work fine with v6.1. The downloads are in the threads. https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/dx/dxcellent/ Other than that, if you go to the release forums both on Dxcellent and on the main site and look for release threads started before July 2019, you should find links to layouts that will work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 @wearecity Ah, apologies for my duff info. I thought even those earlier versions only worked in Win10. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Well you're not wrong as such v19 onwards won't work. There's still over 1000 layouts that can be played on v6.1, so not a small amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altharic Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 You usually find if a machine can run 8 it can run 10 worth seeing if its compatible https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialDragon368 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 If it's MFME V5.1, you must download DirectX June2010 runtimes. Part of the SD368 Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene02 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 10.1 is an unofficial version leaked around 2006. You won’t find any newer layouts working on that version. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
