Does anyone know why when MFME is run, it talks to fruitemu.co.uk

Run Process Monitor and you can see it send traffic to that address as it starts up.

I assume that was how the online updating was delivered? So that when you loaded MFME it would communicate with the fruitemu.co.uk site (same owner as this site, DADsfme, DXcellent, the MPU Mecca, e.t.c.). to see if a new version had been released.

Obviously it isn't going to be updated any more due to the passing of the emulator author, but the software will still check anyway.

As it's thread necro time today it seems :)  It's prob some old baked in stuff, MFME also connects to Dif to try to download ROMs for layouts.  It's nothing malicious :)

Sorry, it never occured to me to check the date. Seems to be a pattern occuring.
