Haggie55 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) >>>>> UPDATED FILES ON PAGE 10 <<<<< Hey All This is the slot machine emulator MFME in LaunchBox I think it looks ok... A brief guide to setting up MFME & putting it in LaunchBox MFME stands for Multi Fruit Machine Emulator - it's like VisualPinball in that the roms are emulated and the appearance of the slots is simulated You can download the current version (6.1) here - you'll need to join and post to access the downloads: http://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/files/ The site also has a large selection of slots - and the following sites are the other main locations for slots: http://www.fruit-emu.com/ http://dadsfme.co.uk/index.php Install MFME wherever you like, and you’ll end up with something like this: The folder “Fruits” you need to make yourself – call it what you like – and this is where the slots go Each slot needs its own folder and the .zip needs to be unzipped in the folder – so you’ll have something like this: To put MFME into LaunchBox add the emulator like any other, so just point LaunchBox at the MFME.exe You will then need to add each slot individually, so select “Import… Rom File” and add the xxx.gam file – no need to try and download any metadata, MFME is a complete mystery to LaunchBox To add the images launch a slot then screengrab it – don’t use MFMEs own screengrabber as it gives poor results – use Gadwin or similar Then set the image as Box-Front & Screenshot-Gameplay or however you have your LaunchBox setup That’s it Edited November 13, 2023 by Haggie55 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I didn't even know these were emulated, they do look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofrogg Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) How does the emulation compare to the MAME slot machine emulation? Regarding the screenshots - you mention to launch each game and then screen grab it - this would be very time consuming given that there appear to be 1044 slot machines in your collection! Have you made shots for them all? Would you be willing to share? Edited November 26, 2018 by Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you made shots for them all? Would you be willing to share? I've no idea which emulator is the more accurate. But MAME only emulates the roms, it doesn't re-create the image of the slot. MFME emulates the roms, but is also an editor that allows the creators to re-produce the appearance of the slot - normally from a scanned flyer. It is time consuming screen grabbing all the slots, but LaunchBox brings out the obsessive in me :) I can make a package of images if anyone wants them, but you'll still have to manually match each image to the slot as I have re-named most of the slots. Also the image won't exactly match the original slot as I alter the LED and/or dot matrix displays to my preferred look. So let me know if you want an image package and I'll sort it out :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 That makes sense. The MAME emulation of slots isn’t that great without a re-production of the appearance of the machine as a whole. A different story from what seems to be happening with MFME! Yes, I would appreciate such an image package, thanks! Manually matching the images is still some work but nothing compared to getting all the screen grabs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofrogg Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Is it the Win7 or WinXP of MFME 6.1 you need, if you are running Win10? Also, is there a way to download all the slots as a package? Or maybe you could share your fruits folder ??

There's no slots package... so stay tuned & I'll put a link to mine in this thread within a week (probably) (: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it individually will take ages! EDIT: yes there is a way - you just search the folder for all the .gam files, then drag them into Launchbox to import - though tell Launchbox to use the folder rather than filenames are the folder names are the proper names and match up with the artwork!
