Ah sorry man, it's not worked on your set up.  It's very early test this, so my code for automatically finding your v20 (updated to latest 20.2.00) MFME.exe is not very solid.

Got a busy weekend, but Sunday night/next week I hope to get to look into these and work out some fixes - bear with me :)

@johnparker007 simply a world of wonder to walk around and look at those.  Can't wait to play them - but this is just awesome.

Thanks man :) ...does that mean that when you press Enter in front of a machine they don't start up for you either?

Oh sweet fucking god ! ! ! !

This means I've not read the thread quickly and wanted to look...

...yes, they do, yes they do very much.

Remind me the PayPal address please, you're about to get a chunk of cash.

I've been watching this thread with great excitement and I am enjoying seeing how well it's coming along. Looking fantastic. I've chucked a fiver in the pot (its all I can afford at the moment, but wanted to do my bit to help) Keep up the great work.

Thanks very much indeed for your donation @No1Stoney:)  I've added it onto the sheet :)

Deleted everything and started again with the original installer and .....................WOW!!!

This is simply stunning work JP, thanks for all the hard work.  I can't wait to see what this Sim is capable of in the coming months.

Sorry if I missed this, but does MFME have to be somewhere specific for this to work? I've pressed Enter on a machine and it focuses on it, but then freezes until I press Esc? 

Hiya No1Stoney :) 

Unfortunately I suspect you have an old registry from earlier MFME, so is missing the InstallPath key.

I'm planning to address this (and various other issues to do with finding the correct MFME.exe) in the next update, which will be about getting this to have some fallback strategies etc.

Some info below, but only if you are familiar with using regedit, otherwise please wait for the update!  :)   As it might not even be this, but some other reason... hopefully be an update that fixes all this mfme.exe stuff in within a week.

If you really want to get it going before then, and you are on the latest MFME, and you are comfortable editing the Windows Registry - you would search CJW, and add a string key 'InstallPath' under CJW/MFME, with it's value being the path to the latest MFME.exe.

Ok, in that case, mine looks like this:

And the MFME.exe at that location (might not be there on your PC if you chose somewhere else) should read 20.2.0.0 as its version number (needs to be the newest v20 to work).

Another big bug I've realised is that if you 'hold down' the 0 key to insert a coin, rather than tapping it quickly, it will set the coin alarm off.  There will be a fix, prob not this week as it's a bigger fix than you'd think - but there will definitely be a fix :) 

For now - tap 0 quickly to insert coins, holding it down too long may set off the coin alarm.

I am going to turn my volume up full then hold down 0 to annoy everyone around me which is nothing unusual:D
