FRK Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Guys I have my original files from years ago which I wanted to use now on MFME (including jpm), I thought if I used 6.1 it would work but all I get is this "Layout format .dat no longer supported. Resave layout in MFME 5.1 to covert" This brings up a couple of question. 1: Is it easier to just download them again (I have about 60+ I have identified will not work) 2: How do I convert? (had a look but it was not obvious) 3: Find somewhere I can download everything again (as my files are a bit old) 4: Will MFME play JPM and Bellfruits (or as usual have I just misunderstood the different emulators) Some work and some don't and its annoying. I just want them all to work.... Thanks FRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo1 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I would download the new layouts that are convert for mfme 6. And play your old layouts in 5.1 when your ask to save press yes then you can play them in v6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi There, 1. Generally I would say load and save them - but a lot of the designers have actually updated the layouts to use the latest features of the emulator. 2. To convert you need a copy of MFME 5.1 and you will need to resave the layout in the new format that is the .FML file. I converted all of mine and I think this site only has 6.1 on it ATM. 3. We are all over the place... ...start with the Downloads here, for the top bar go to Browse / Downloads for my releases and this area Layout Releases ( not by Reg ). Then go to DX'Cellent and DADs. Finally take a trip to Fruit-Emu and The Mecca. Between all these places with different content, you'll get everything. 4. MFME will play pretty much everything and so much more then the older legacy unsupported and not developed emulators. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on my usual haunts and found a 2015 download @ 18GB which was great as an update, but to realise that this is now out of date is a right pisser... Sad face...

serene02 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) There is an option in mfme preferences to scale to screen res. J Edited October 28, 2018 by A:E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectra666 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Pm geddy via one of these sites failing that you could donate on various sites to increase your download limits. Failing that load every game you have and resave to the FML format, I had 1500 games and like others I had to go through every game to resave only took a week lol. But with the newer mfmes like a,e said there's a shrink to fit option from mfme 5 that allows ALL previous mfme layouts to fit laptops like 3.2 did. There's a load of new goodies in mfme6 too.

FRK Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks guys for the info.... Have a OK collection running 5.1, with the others I would like to play still in JPM format.. I had Deal or no Deal but can't find it in my collection.. sure I saw it earlier. But my next question.. On the Game Manager on 5.1 how do I reset the games played etc and how do I change the payout % ??? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy1976 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I think the times played might be held in the .gam file for each machine @Wizard is the man to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved on to 6.1 and took a hit on how many fruiters are working.... all good.. After taking advice from Richy1976 the played values are held in the .gam file but other than changing each one I can see no obvious way of resetting them all either in batch or individually. @wizard seems to be the man who can put this to bed for me as I would like to have my own values and not the ones coming with the layouts and.gam files... Thanks in advance Mike FRK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy c Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Juat clear the rams on the machine you want to clear and that will reset the games played too,be warned though doing this will result in some machines losing there sound or it being very low.

vectra666 Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 and the scorp5 machines will need there noteys resetting especially for "des" type machines, personally i'd leave them as is to change the %'s just goto edit mode and click configuration then where the stake/prize percentage is change it there then reset the machine by pressing ctrl =R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get MFME v5 and v5.1 from The Mecca, in the release threads for the emulator. https://www.fruitemu.co.uk/ib/index.php?/forum/31-mfme-development/ From v6.1 onwards, they are hosted on Desertislandfruits.
