hi quick question can MFME 6.0 be played with any of the follwing downlaods MFME 9.0 please as i lost all of the downloads of the fruit machines that i had on my old laptop thanks there was an all in one download for MFME if that is still avalible to download on this website thanks

[vectra666]

to play the older mfme1.0-9.4-10.1 games in the newer Mfme6.1 you'll need to download mfme5.1 to be able to convert the older layouts dat'files to the newer fml.file once you've converted them you'll then be able to play them in mfme6.1 which is available via desert islandfruits.com

can you show in number order please vectra i don't understand what you mean
i have mfme 5.1 but how do i convert old layout files i don't understand what you mean

[vectra666]

when you exit a layout it will ask you whether you want to save the game or not, you save it to the new fml'file as dat.files aren't compatible with 6.0+

Once converted, be sure to check out

http://www.fruit-emu...-29#entry317767

for a lot of fix information for different machines as quite a few particularly scorpion 4 machines need some, usually easy to do alterations to get them to work.

The thread also contains several already fixed and v6.0 onwards ready to play layouts.

[alexhob123]

okay so change the layout to .fml instead of .dat okay thanks

[wearecity]

It's simple.

 

As soon as you close a layout in v5.1, even if you've literally just opened it, it will say save changes, hit yes and it will automatically save it to being a .fml file, which can then by opened in v6.0 onwards.

okay will do thanks

[alexhob123]

i will try later on and see if it works last time it wouldn't save but i will give it a try

[wearecity]

Try pressing Ctrl W, the layout may be in read only mode.

 

Then close and save.

i see an .fml file for jolly rodger fruit machine so will it work on v6.1

[stevedude2]

Yeah should do.

 

It's all automatic really - just open the non-running layouts up in v5.1, close them, select save when prompted and then they'll work in v6.1.

 

We're in the middle of a transition phase where the goal one day is to just have one emulator for everything.  The new fml file format is a much more efficient way of doing things.  It's a small inconvenience now but it will all be much better in the long run.

What about the JPemu layouts? Do we have to use the converter tool to convert to dat then convert that to fml using MFME 5.1 or have most layouts that ran in Jpemu now already converted? I have about 36 that only run in Jpemu.

[cashbox1]

a lot of them have been converted,but you need to convert each layout from jpemu to mfme using the tool,then open them in 5.1 and save

If you haven't already, join up at Desertislandfruits http://www.desertisl...forum/index.php

 

There are more Jpemu conversions over there.

 

You'll need to know the convert process first, which means some knowledge of how to use the convert tools and how to use the tools in MFME to get the converted layout loaded and configed

 

There are some layouts that can't be converted because the convert tool (which is quite old now), throws up errors that can't be bypassed and the conversion process doesn't finish.

 

Once converted, the converted layout needs to be loaded into MFME v5.1, then you can either just close it and save or you can configure it, then save it. It can then be open with v6.1 onwards. Obviously if you didn't configure it in v5.1 after conversion, you'll need to do it in v6.1.
