jackpotjon05 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi everyone, hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine. I've got a bit of an issue which I cant seem to work out..... When I downloaded Gold Rush 3 player I was told by Wizard to open the top box slave in a window and then the player terminal should launch, which it did automatically..... But ive done the same with Party Time 3 player, loaded up the top box in a window and then opened player 1 in another window but getting an error message saying ''no comms'' across the led, so it doesn't look like they are talking to each other/connecting. Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpotjon05 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 That's strange, now just tried it again on Gold Rush, loaded the top box and then player 1 and now this is saying No network comms. Clearly I am doing something not right as it worked yesterday, either that or I just hit something and was lucky!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's because it didn't automatically load after the Top Box was loaded, they need re-linking for the comms to work. When you have them both opened type Alt L in the top box and a box should appear in both saying they are linked. Close the Top box ( and the player one should close too ). Reload the Top Box again and the player one should then automaically load and the game should work. You only need to do this once btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dad Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 which version of MFME are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpotjon05 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just now, dad said: which version of MFME are you using? 19.8 latest version. Whats strange is Gold Rush worked yesterday, not working today as linked itself yesterday, so pushed ALT L in the top box and that game is alarming Party time is giving error msg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpotjon05 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 ok party time seems to be working now. Tried again, but still having issue with gold rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just tried both and they work for me. If Goldrush worked yesterday, then so long as you've made no changes there's no reason tt shouln't work today. All I can suggest is download it again.

Couldn't get a link on Gold Rush, so did the ALT L thing on both games.... Party Time didn't like it the 1st time but worked 2nd time but Gold Rush is alarming each time I load it up so god knows whats going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpotjon05 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Any idea what key put the coins in on Indiana btw as 0 not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 You could try going into edit mode, scroll across so you can see the coin mech, right click on it to bring up the properties window, then uncheck the box that says 'lockout' then close the properies window then click edit mode again to close it. If that works for you then don't forget to save the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened up the top box 1st (is that right firstly) and then launched player 2 and clicked ALT L in the top box and they linked.... BUT.....heres the question..... When I closed it and re-loaded it back up to make sure its working properly I loaded up the top box back up and player 2 (previously) loaded back up with it on its own How do I stop that happening and get other players to work? I.e 1 or 3 if it loads up like this every time? Do u see what im getting at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Once you load in the top box, you can load in 1,2 or 3 slaves. If you link them and close the game it'll remember the settings, then next time you load the game it should carry on where you left off. Once linked you only ever need to load the Top Box - the slaves will load automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I go into edit mode it shrinks the game by 50% and cuts off the right half so I cant even get to the mech. Ive tried to use the arrows on the outer box to enlarge the game but that doesn't work either. Surely there has to be an easy way to put in £1 coins using 0 but for some reason its not registering anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffc Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi Another thing that may be stopping your comms working is if you have had a pop up from your file wall asking you to allow MFME and if you have said no then comms will stop working, I accidently did this when I changed to Zone Alarm and had to then manual allow MFME to pass through the filewall to get the multi player games to work again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpotjon05 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 What im finding very odd about gold rush is yes its communicating now after I deleted it and re-downloaded it, but when you launch the top box, players 1 and 2 load up with it automatically but if I try and load player 3 the other 2 disappear and the top box goes as well. Cant get my head around that at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
