memyselfandi Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't do, it should talk to DIF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
