I have finished Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 No black knite communities actually work. Invalid paytable. I don't really understand the difference between comunity and not community. Just 1 you can link the machines together and 1 you can't. Is that correct? Because there is a version of black knite you can play which is just not community. As far as I see it, the sounds are exactly the same. Also I got moneygoround to play which I thought wasn't in working bpaks list. Some others just as bpaks and not altering the inis also work.

SocialDragon368 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 (edited) I think MVFME could well and truly be off the radar now because these areas of the forums are gone.... Edited June 22 by SocialDragon368 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec1962 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 So can we discuss these emulators in any detail at all ? can we post the various issues so the author knows and can fix them and then somehow share the fix off the forum or does this kill all discussion of that sort and all this has to go underground. As the MVFME website is still up they obviously haven’t gone after the emulator or its authors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Man that sucks, after all that effort. I guessing the issue is probably because of a lot of arcades maybe still running these older games. I mean at £15,000 - £20,000 outlay, I'd imagine an arcade operator would run these things to the absolute death. Fruit machines back in the day would mostly get switched out for new for the most part, but some of the more expensive stuff like fancy pushers or multiplayer arcade games would usually get a longer lease of life because of costing significantly more. Or the industry has seen things get discovered by the community and are concerned about something coming to light. Probably the former though really, especially as £500 jackpot machines are still just as relevant now as when they first saw light say 20 year's ago or even more now.

JRSC01 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 (edited) There is only certain games that were whitelisted / tested as working on the release of MVFME, that was the case with approx. 25 of them at release, however the working ones are listed in the text file of the emulator. Each game had to be extensively tweaked on a per game basis, and only after hours of doing so it may have worked, a lot of them still aren't able to run normally, unfortunately after MVFME 2.0 there is no other update, and its not a guarantee that games such as any of the Black Knight Community releases may ever work. Possibly, however it is unlikely as far as I know and have read on MVFME website, it is unlikely a further version of the emulator will be uploaded. It is up to them if they revisit it in the future, however. Edited June 22 by JRSC01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonSays Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 (edited) If the forum is getting heat then removing the links is for the best. I've been a member on forums that have been hit with a DMCA and then they're gone, just like that. We don't want that to happen here, this is such a great community. I would though, like to request an invite from @niallquinn for the discord server if that's at all possible. Edited June 23 by SimonSays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Frog Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 (edited) One thing reading through this thread... It may be a good idea to not ask for invites, naming platforms openly, and tagging certain members for invites, it's clear that someone from/or affiliated with one of the companies involved has infiltrated the site. If people want to find out information it's probably best to just message members who you know and trust, and anyone new and not really a known quantity, well no offence but they will have to earn their stripes and the trust of those with the knowledge. Multiple posts mentioning a certain platform is only going to kill that off pretty sharpish and draw attention more in the direction of the effected emulators and their creators, which will lead to even any slight chance of future progress being well and truly snuffed out.And for god's sakes, don't do any videos or post anything with anything leading to the source. There needs to be a closed group somewhere, and it needs to be largely secret. The platform mentioned repeatedly on here is already a risk now because of it being talked about willy nilly. And another thing, if a new forum is created elsewhere, it may be wise to use different screen names as well so that there is a level of obscurity where the companies can't point back to here and point out that it's linked to this site, even if just by affiliation of the members, because that is all it will take.

shaun2097 Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 (edited) My own personal feelings on this, is that maybe we should all forget about the recent FOBT video fruits emulators and their game ROMS and links and any discussion, and not mention them again on this site in any capacity. As @Ze Frogsays above, it wouldnt take much for a DMCA to close this website down, and that would be the end of it all. No forums, no MFME at all (new content wise) I would be gutted if we lost this website Is the price worth paying? i think not. As no new content will be posted here anymore about these FOBT emulators, then why bother bringing them up in any capacity at all? You cant benefit from any info that may help you in anyway that you dont already know... I say, lets drop the subject of FOBT emulators from this site altogether. like i said at the start of this post...these are my own personal feelings about it. I dont think the risk is worth everything else we that we get from MFME on this site. We are just begging for trouble!

spa Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I can't see any harm in talking about anything releated to the new emulators. Its the hosting of files thats the issue. Confimed here via site news. MVFME was out for ages, files, videos, photos, chat, an official website and links to games here, there and everywhere! Nothing happened. The best thing to do is talk about it, get videos on youtube, if that's your thing and see where it ends up. 1 https://www.facebook.com/groups/264122764904452/?epa=SEARCH_BOX Fruit Machine Discussion - Facebook Group.

I dont think the risk is worth everything else we that we get from MFME on this site. We are just begging for trouble! Exactly. This whole thread is an embarrassment, I can't believe what I'm seeing. It could have all existed in the shadows and all would have been fine, but no, everyone decided they had to publicly announce every source and every potential site so that the companies in question have a really clear idea of everything. I sure hope none of the members here work for MI5 or similar. All it took was for the established members who are trusted and been around for a set time to be sent a private PM, told to keep quiet and not advertised, then newer members could have been brought into the fold very carefully once they had been seen in the community and were a known quantity. As it stands now, it's a shit show where this thread has scuppered everything. I feel so sorry for the creators, because ultimately the stupidity on display in this thread is ultimately going to be the death knell for the digital stuff for sure, but if any of these companies feel like this site is a threat or they own rights to any older I.P...well, then the whole scene is toast. People can forget Discord servers, that's a total waste of effort now we have all told whoever is watching and named names.

Ok just to clear up the situation as i understand this i am sure reg will correct me if i am wrong. new threads for the emulators can be created to discuss them however no links to and of the games required to play can be placed in those forums. So its fine to discuss but no links to for example .bpk files. The emulators are not illegal as these are standalone programs but its the actual game files that are illegal to use as these are copyright of the individual manufactures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cannot go after the creators of the Emulator because there nothing illegal about the Emulator its just a bit of software and is not Copyright of any of the machine manufactures. However the game files and content is and obviously they are going to protect there rights. my guess is they have sent the owner or admin of this site with a stop request. this would be an normal thing as its a simple request and gives the person who its directed at to remove the content and stop any further action against them and the site. So they took the action required to stop this happening which i believe to be the correct course of action to take as we dont want to lose this site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudese Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I see no harm in discussing the emulators (which are perfectly legal). Whats the point in having a forum if you can't discuss anything. Might aswell just shut the whole place down as that's literally what a forum is about. I can understand the linking of files, etc shouldn't happen and there has to be some boundaries, but just feels like im stuck in a prison right now with everyone moaning from every corner. We just need to let the dust settle, play about on our own, and be grateful that we even had these emulators in the first place. My real question is... why is everyone so obsessed with black knight? Surely not much difference to the other community games out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair there all much about the same or a very slight variation I am not that bothered about black knight I would love the elvis games to work though i do like them.

Where it is a current game is arcades there could real life financial gain, because its a compensated game people want to play it to death to learn the the cycle, like the bonus will roll in the 3 knights 1st spin for jackpot every x amount played through, will be looking for signs/indicators of how far along it is etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjohn Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 1st of all i would like to thank you for letting me in here and for all the hard work you have all done even though i have a very low post count on the board i have done a lot behind the scene's of the fruit community me and arlo set up a forum called jackpottyforums , i dont know if you have heard of it, spending many hours sometimes up to 1am or 2am then getting up for work at 4 am , i know how hard it is to run a board , the admin at dif had to make a choice and a very quick choice to save what they aimed for, which is for us to enjoy old emulated games which we cant find easy in the wild anymore, me , dom silent g and others set up fruit machine meets to enjoy the stuff we love but posting links to modern games like t8 stuff it puts them under pressure and in danger of losing stuff we love lets all remember the staff and mods are not paid to do this they do this for us so a small £10 donation to buy the hosts a few pints is like 5 spins on a £2 stake please understand the hard work that goes into this so before you beg for a file look at a way that you might be able to help thanks sidewinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
