None I know of. MFME is closed source, only the authors have access to it.

As I thought, it's early days. When I searched for fruit machine emulators a couple of years ago there was nothing... so it is fantastic this is being done at last!

I have managed to run MFME 1.1 through a PC emulator on my macintosh. Biggest problem was the massive monitor resolution required! Seems a shame to buy a large scale monitor just for this, when photoshop, m.a.m.e. Sims, QuakeIII, video editing, etc. are happy enough in 1024x768 or less. Hope these emulators soon get a scaleable window so you can play them on one side of the desktop as you work for example. You could have two machines side by side for simultaneous play!

I run MFME on Linux (RedHat 8.0) using VMware.

You can download a trail version from:-

http://www.vmware.com/

..valid for 30days. The downer is it's $299 for the full
version (electronic download) or $329 for the boxed
version :cry:
