JangoFetty Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Hi all Just a quick question - how does the In/Out stat work on MFME 20? So i understand that it is cash in and the cash that comes out, but how does it effect gameplay? Like some machines dont seel to update OUT when I win and take cash out of the machine - like Red Alert is an ass, never seem to win and if I do get Jacpot or take cash out OUT is till 0 - is this normal? Also what is DRIFT? Thanks all Edited January 13, 2023 by JangoFetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPU_FIVE Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hello, @JangoFetty- I am thinking someone like @Chopaholicwould be very good at explaining to you what you need to know, however i did a quick search and found the meaning of drift at least for you... there may be other good info in the thread i screenshotted this from so here is the thread and a screenshot. Hope it helps, the in and out should represent the coin in and out values, i think say the in meter said 20000 and you put a £1 coin in, it counts up 10 units to 20010 so i think 1 unit represents 10p. and similar with the out meter - if a meter isn't changing when putting money in or collecting money out then it's probably a layout where the fml designer didn't set the meters up properly on... all educated guesses as i'm no expert on this... Cheers, Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all The machine RAM holds all the information that the machine would normally use in real life, so the machine will play as it should regardless of whether the meters in MFME are operating correctly. This RAM is saved out to a .RAM file when you close the emulator, and loaded back in when you open a layout. One RAM file per machine. Think of the machine RAM file as being a save state, a bit like a game save on a computer game. It stores money in, out, machine settings, and a bunch of other stuff. The meters in MFME - if set up correctly - give us a quick representation of the state the machine should be in, or our profit / loss per session, or long term... but they have no access to the machine software running within the layout. If they don't work it's normally either layout designer error, as the meters need to be set up, and also set to the correct values, for each layout. Possibly some machines uses some weird metering which isn't supported (unlikely).
