Hi all!
New to this game, looking forward to getting going.
Seems I cant do anything until my desertislandfruits registration is approved and I can get the emulator downloaded.
Tried using Mame but from what I can tell none of the Fruit's I wanted to play work on there, that or I'm doing something wrong.

Go there and pay £10 for your shite.
Would rather do that than pay for your stolen layouts as you are a disgusting human being, no dog.
You can't be a nice person if everyone is against you except for one and sounds like he is doing this too if he is sticking up for you.

I'm confused...
Did I say something wrong? Do the two sites not walk hand in hand?
I was under the impression from looking in the downloads section I needed MFME to use the layouts on here? And from what I can tell that is only available on the other site - I just assumed the two were fairly tied into each other.
Is there another way to load ROMs?

Hi jamie2k
You will find the mfme emulators to run most of the layouts on this site at https://www.fruitemu.co.uk/ib/ in the MFME DEVELOPMENT section. Just become a new member and post in the introductions (new members) telling them all about yourself.

The site, started to go downhill, when the emulator author, didn't want the latest emulator hosted here.The admin took offence to this and pretty much has just said, sod it, I'm off.
Whether you agree or disagree with the decision and the reaction, that's what happened and happened a few years back now. So no point in going over it all again, it is what it is.
Anyway, after that, the site has pretty much been left to run itself, with minimal interaction from the admin and some updates to keep it up and running from thoses who are capable of doing such things.
It was still being fairly well used and a lot of layouts were uploaded both here and at Desertislandfruits (DIF). Both sites where still well worth being a member of.
Then the owner of DIF discovered that the main person selling on Ebay, fruit machine emulation DVD's was a long term, respected member of the fruit machine emulation scene for years. Several machine on the disk had been altered by the seller and various things, such as the write up about the disk, made it look like it was all their work.
That member was kicked from DIF and calls to ban them from here were also made.
The admin has yet to do that, so most of the regulars, stopped posting here. Several authors of layouts, stopped posting their layouts here and attempts are being made to stop the Ebay seller, from getting the latest emulator and also the layouts made for it.
Everything available here is available at DIF, except for a few layouts produced by the Ebay seller, which won't work on the latest emulator anyway. Geddy and others have archived FME layouts and more, since the beginning, so it's not true that everything has been stolen from here etc.... Some of the stuff, even predates this website.
Yes it's true that a lot of the older layouts may need work to get them fully working. But that is also the case here with them as well, but there are plenty of members over at DIF who help, if members run into trouble.

Thanks for that wearecity - sheds a lot of light on why people here are non too happy. So taking all that in mind I gather most people on here are also members on DIF?
Do you have any idea how I can get my account approved over there? I signed up on Sunday but my account is still pending approval and it looks as though I can't do anything until then.
I just want to get involved in the scene, I've done as superbaron suggested but the ROMs I have say they need 6.1 or 19.x which as far as I can tell I have to get from DIF.

Anyone who has any real interest in FME, is over at DIF. It's never been so busy and a FME forum, hasn't been so busy for years and years.
The site owner approves accounts, just make sure you've used a proper email and not a throw away one, people use to try to avoid spam.
After you are approved, make sure you write an introductory hi type post, maybe with a little bit about your fruit machine likes/dislikes and how you came about FME etc.
You need to get some rep points, which will then enable you to download. A decent introductory post and maybe some comments on others threads and machine releases, will see you get them easily.
Then it's up to you, either restricted download amounts or donate a small amount for unlimited amounts. People get support, but generally it's best to start off on the right foot by reading up on things, before posting questions and just generally being pleasant to people.
The scene is small, so we need people to interact, rather than just download.

That is very good advice and thanks but will keep my acount here to if that is ok. it is a shame that site owner doesnt care any more as there is a lot of layoutrs here. he sounds not nice to. maybe one day site owner will do what is good for here and it will be a good place again.
