fruities

Yup, I know there are links to the tutorials! Problem is, it took me a while to see them, as I sorta skimmed over and missed them!

To my mind, the most valuable area is the bar on the top. Fair enough, you've run out of room on lower res. Still, you have an FAQ section there... why not simply put another link to the tutorials in the FAQ section?

I would guess that "how do I get this emulator to work?" and "what do I do with these layout thingies?" would be frequently asked questions

Makes sense to me... put links to the tutorials in several places, then even the most retarded surfers, such as myself, can find them!!!

By the way, is this a PhpNuke site? To my mind, phpnuke is the spawn of Satan, and all sites look the same using it (e.g. cheesy CounterStrike clan sites). If it is.... hats off to you! Top notch job!

Sorry if this is in the wrong section or a stupid question altogether, but I couldn't find a post like this.

I have some of the layouts/ROMs from this site, and ran them through ClrMame Pro with the latest DAT files (referring specifically to "Fruit Machine Layouts - MFME (20040804)". To my surprise, there were lots of "errors" found. These included:

:arrow: wrong name on ZIP files (well, this was expected, and to be honest, why should the Classic and DX layouts have EXACTLY the same name? ClrMame is WRONG in my opinion)
:arrow: unneeded files - ZIP files at that (does this mean some of your files AREN'T in the ClrMame DAT?)
:arrow: Missing Sets/ROMs (does this mean the files you have aren't all of the games available?)

Here is the summary of that set (MFME Layouts):

Missing Sets:             450 of 493
Wrong SetName Case:       0
Wrong Named Sets:         73

Missing Roms:             2654 of 2976

So, I guess my questions are:

What ROM manager would you suggest for Fruit Machine ROMs/Layouts?

Are there games not available on your site? Similarly, are there games on your site not implemented in other packs?

Is there a "right" set of ROMs?

Oh, and also... what are these Snapshots that there are DAT files for? Sorry, newbie question I'm sure! :oops:
