Fruit Machine Chat

what's an emulator.. i have a rough idea but im not certin..

I've moved your (50th lol) topic to the Emulation forum.

Anyway, an emulator is anything (usually software) that 'emulates' a hardware device. In this case, it emulates the software inside some of the older fruit machines that were around. Meaning that they play 'exactly' as they would in the wild - all the little bugs and cheats too.

The emulator however, is only the 'engine' of the games, you need the ROM for each game you wish to play, which the emulator can 'read' and turn into a pretty representation of a fruit on your PC screen.

That's great. and here is another question! lol where can i download the correct software to run these?

Fruit-emu.com goto downloads and download the Fruit machachine Emulation wizard. It's top of the downloads chart.

yeah i've done it.. doe's it open with Winrar?

i cant seem to figure this out just yet. im not handy with pc's. Does the actual games come with this download? or is this the software i need on my pc b4 i download the virtual machine?

Download it. Unzip it/Extract it. Run the program in it & it'll install
JP-emu,MFME 1 & 2 and BF Emulator onto your computer in your programs listing.
Then you need to go back onto Fruit-emu and pick which machines you want to download.
Certain machines need certain Emu's to run on but most of them are explained on Fruit-emu

so i've looked through this.. do i need to pay for directx 9 and WINZIP?
or is there another possibly way of running this?

sorry guys for wasting your time..

I don't know why your asking about that. You just download a particular file, Right click on it then Extract all. Then you run your emulator, file, load game then click on the file and it'll load up. You can download winrar if you want, you don't have to pay for it though.

well i've done what you said and downloaded my first one but it's says a file is missing.
im sure i'll figure it.. anyways thanx

Now your at the awkward bit by the sounds of it. Some of the earlier M/c's have the roms & Layouts seperate so you have to extract both files then combine them into 1.
With BFM games you don't need to extract the file just drop it onto the open emulator and it runs.

Best thing to do is this.

Goto here

And download MFME 10.1 and extract the file

This will run the newer games

Now click on here

http://www.fruit-emu.com/forums/downloa ... 0dxx-2691/

Download this, Extract it

Now run MFME 10.1 then click file and look for Allfired up on your comp. It should run.

Let me know

Gaz

yeah man.. i got allfired up working in the MFME.. i havent tried to download any other machine yet.. do i just go about the same way to get these machines workin in the MFME?

Yeah you just have to look at what your downloading. MFME 10.1 will run most that have been released in the last 12-18 months.
It'll seem very technical to start with but it's dead easy to pick up which file needs what emulator.

yeah im sitting here now playing noles house party, althou im going to search for a machine in my area... thanx for the help thats great!!! cheers

ok im only after downloading Kung fu. which is one in my local area, but it seems to not be working in this MFME. do i need to download another emulator to get this one working?
