i should have specified, i was talking about a non private resource.

 there isn't a central location for bpaks at the moment (that i know of), the fmedb (http://www.fmedb.com) will be hosting bpaks for t7 games in the future, i will pm you later when im back in from work with more info.

Have a good one Andy!

Thanks All, 32 where have the years gone i can remember discovering FME when i was about 17!

Hi All,

 

So, i have decided to open up the site again ( http://www.fmedb.com/fmedb/). i still dont have alot of free time to populate but it is what it is, it will no doubt take a few more years yet but we will get there one day.

 

i have recently added the "Arcade", this will allow any user to create their own arcade and or play others:

 

 

you can play layouts after other users have played (if the machine is being played, the machine will be locked for upto an hour or when the user uploads the new gam and ram files) or you could create your own.

 

Create Arcade:

Go to user profile > my arcade > input a name for your arcade and click save. then click "Go To My Arcade" button you go to your arcade.

 

Add Machine:

1. Click the "Add Machine" image > Populate the "Machine UID" value (this can be found by searching for the machine then making a note of the number in the url (See screenshot)

 

2. You need to have a zip that only contains the ".gam" and ".ram" file in and select.

3. Select a screenshot image

4. Paste in a url link to the download of the layout.

5. Hit Submit.

 

The site will be live from 8pm tonight, i will be starting to upload my un released stuff in into the arcade from December.

 

Cheers.

Nice idea from Fruitnutter there but it needed thinking through a bit more.  Cannot ever fault the enthusiasm though.  A lot of members contribute nothing at all so credit for trying to offer something useful to people

 

I still think the FME scene needs a nice big database as a handy reference-point where people can go and look up a game and find out info on it, pictures, whether a layout has been done and who by, and what site(s) it is hosted at and what version of MFME it runs on.  There could be other stuff like saved RAM files and so on added as well.

 

For a lot of people it's just really cumbersome now trawling through loads of sites trying to find something.  I remember Ross was doing FMEdb but it ground to a halt unfortunately.  We need something like this and people need to get behind it and populate it.  People will still have to come here or elsewhere to download in the end anyway.  No layouts or ROMs would be hosted, just information.

 

That is what the scene needs right now, information all in one place.

its something im still developing but with the size of the project it was never going to be done quick. who knows, might be back in the future if it gets to point where its useful.

Alot of progress made on this (it helps that i love this machine!)

Made more progress on monopoly 60, does anyone have the reel band scans for this?

off the top of my head i would say about 25-30 layouts coming out the start of next year (most can be seen on my youtube channel)

Quick Update, this will release with a £5 and £15 layout.

 

Also as a bonus, Jpm - Powerspin has finally received an update (With thanks to wizard for the disk reel help).

 

 

Cant wait till release also any news On Cash gordon?

I have already told you, that wont be until next year. the only layout i plan to release this year is London Underground. (and maybe monopoly if i get that done in time)

Spot light plain should be your font for the nudge pot numbers.

Spot on!, cheers tommy.

Hi all, so thought i would post this up as i have finally had the time to work on it! still a few tweaks / the reels to scan in before i can release it.

 

im also working on a monopoly 60 redraw but need help with the fonts used, can anyone name the fonts used or similar ones?

 

Cheers

Yeah will be 35 pound, the roms dont seem to go to £70 just like the rainbow riches.

pretty sure these were in the batch i sent to geddy but just incase.

Cheers for the info guys I will upload the lot next week (won't be renamed but will be the complete 750mb zip)

On a side note the next batch is up including some redemption machines ( only work with open door as the ticket dispenser isn't emulated)

Anyone have any idea what machines / tech these are?, i have a few rom sets for Astra machines but i have no idea what these are.

Crazy Money?

Next batch uploading at 7pm.

yes, it's in this batch.

Next Batch (12 in total as i found more roms for rock n roll and double yer money)

Most likely Windows update killing the vm again, I will start back up when I get home tonight.

not for these.

First Batch:

 

Dynamics Lo Tech, reference images attached. (Will be uploaded 7pm sharp.)

 

On a side note, to find the PIC id you need to use a hex editor and search 'test', keep hitting next until you see EXXX (see image)

Hi all, from tomorrow I will be uploading new roms (about 3gbs to upload in total) mainly new empire Roms (a.f.a.i.k we now have all emulatable empires apart from ram raid)

I will be uploading them in batches of 10 each Friday as I don't have time to name them all and upload in one lot and it will be easier for people to know what is now available, I will be uploading onto to repo site as it's a lot of data (Will post a link up tonight so people can register)

Anyone who signed up to my old repo will need to sign up again.
