Of course layouts etc could be uploaded to the VIP section on here, (accessed only if your a donator etc if I remember rightly)
then after say two weeks they get " unlocked" by admin to the main releases but only members whom have made say 20posts in the three month prior to its release can obtain them, then after a further two weeks (so approx one month after initial release) it gets unlocked further to the wider public

 

I can see so many problems with that suggestion it's unreal... Can you remember an old member got his own forum with only invited or vetted people gaining access?  It led to more bad blood and the layouts got leaked to all n sundry anyway.  Lots of effort for nothing really.

For me it's a no brainer the thing we have the most resources for which I believe is S4 with cctalk.  Yeah they all might be crap etc etc but purely from a 'keeping the scene alive and well fed' its the simple choice...

Nice porn folder lol, the machine in the middle is a touch w**k

Darts or Dough?

Classic finished, just need the reel images.

 

So not finished then... I think more WIP was needed after a viewing

Certainly one for the ebayers...

oh boy. this will be the last time i will mention this cus im still upset about it. it was a mistake geddy. my mate wanted an account on the website in march i think it was. he forgot his laptop. i tried making it on dif for him. then i got banned. nevermind, if i dont go back then i will just have to deal with it. im sorry if this causes any trouble. so thats what happened. as for my mate, he is fine, just not where i am cus of... you know

 

I'll have a word with Reg to see if you are allowed back.

i wish i was still there. i still regret what i did

 

What did you do?

And exactly are MAME going to take Wizard to court ? --- I suppose they going to send a letter with just "WIZARD" on the envelope and the postman knows where to deliver it to.

Wizard
Emerald City
Oz
MFM3 V45

I hope that sefish remark wasnt aimed at me...Some of you are taking my posts totally out of context. I'm not always good at getting my point across so I guess it probally pertly my fault.

It was rightly aimed at the people here who think it is okay to f*** off MAME but not okay to f*** off MFME. It was aimed at the people here who are so 'blinded' that they do understand without MAME there would be no MFME (I mean ffs there was a thread here the other day asking if MAME runs on a PC for Gawd's sake,) it's aimed at the people who are so selfish they do not give a f*** about emulation as long as they get a new MFME at no matter what cost.

Anyways how on earth did this topic get so off topic?

ON TOPIC FROM NOW ON PLEASE

Something along the lines of the topic. 'New emus incoming...' which of course MFME is not going to be one of them because Wizard has took the pet again.

If you want or need to discuss MAME/MFME further take it to PM. Thanks.

Oh f*****g hell sorrrrreeeeeeeeeee for wanting to discuss a fruit machine emulator on a f*****g fruit machine emulation forum. Geesus no the f*****g wonder this place gets the jibes it does.

Guess I best f*** off again for another couple of years eh....

Your right of course lets make a topic about a subject and the post unrelated random shite in it, because, you know, that makes sence. Hell lets throw caution to wind and just post anything anywhere


I think i'll ask an admin to lock this topic as it's kinda got out of hand.

Crikey have you not been around FME forums very long. Normal if a thread stays on topic for more than five posts it's a phone call to Norris McWhirter.

However like I said judging by the thread topic the posts are on topic because you ain't getting a new MFME.

f*****g hell having to post on another forum today....

What I'm saying is the MAME team has said Wizard can only release a new version of MFME if he releases the source.

..and rightly so as that is the terms of their license. It is THAT simple.

Wizard won't do this so we (the FME scene) don't get a new version of MFME. I hasn't got anything to do with our history. All I'm saying is te MAME team could allow Wizard to release MFME closed source if he gets permission from the people who wrote the origanal code (I beleive its the cores which Wizard used).

Why in the name of little apples should Wizard get special treatment? Why should he be treated differently from EVERY other coder who has used MAME code? Bottom line is he should not and he should play by the rules. The fact is HE (and he alone) chooses NOT to play by the rules so it is Wizard and him alone who everyone should be asking why. He has f***ed FME no one else. No one is forcing him to keep MFME on his HDD. He has spoilt the hobby of 1000s of innocent members because he can't get his own way. It is that simple, no arguments.

While pople in the MAME scene should know who these people are, Wizard is unlikley too so a litte bit of comprimise from both parties would be beneficial. I didn't know it was sold origanally, but this has no bearing on future releases as long as they are free.

Again why should he get special treatment, for God's sake he even tried and succeeded to SELL the code he stole. He was offered an olive branch the other day by Haze and I guess (I know) Haze bent as much as the license would allow but all 'we' got was the big NO from Wizard, so who is to blame, who is being childish, who is spoiling 1000s of people hobbies just because he can't have it all his own way? Selfish does not even come close it it.

and maybe I'm being abit unfair to the MAME people but this is my opinion and we are on a discussion forums and I'm not going to water down my opinions. It is what it is.

Maybe? Total understatement. Just remember and this goes to a fair few other posters on this forums, WITHOUT MAME THERE WOULD BE NO MFME. Please stop and understand this before you go just wanting a new MFME at no matter what selfish costs.


I think as far as common sense is concerned it would be nice for a mod to make it perfectly clear to people here the situation regarding MFME/MAME because really it is 'disturbing' reading all the uneducated posts here on this subject and really shows the posters up for what they are - selfish.

12 now since I've subbed again.  Sorry but I must say this is pretty piss poor that we can't get 100 sign ups considering how much Reg has done for FME over the years, it should have been done in tens mins.  Shame on you lot of leeching bastards who can't spare 20 seconds to help a FME lifer out.... annoyed

 

ETA - make that ten now...

Well done Reg!!!  Congrats.....

 

 

@chasbons I wonder what this place would be like if there were NO downloads.  You know people had their own places to download from like DxCellent and DIF...... interesting.

Excellent wonderful - why does "The Prisioner" come to mind when you say it that way !

 

 

I was thinking more Michael Jordan but nevermind lol

I'm #23

 

 

does that mean they don't care what wizard does anymore?

 

 

 

Does anyone?

Just because it's possibly been a year since I've said this, there is only one person stopping a new public release of MFME... simples

Thanks.  Are these Global or Impulse?

Any chance the Epoch roms you have killcrazy can be upped so I can put them in the rom dat?  Thanks.

Brilliant and sorted/named - many many thanks killcrazy!!

Bugs Bunny was an old mate I've known since the near beginning of FME, he helped me with some tech issues on my early JPeMu DXs, it sort of started from there. We had a good working relationship with Re-A who coded BFeMu who would basically take on board our suggestions and knock out emu updates accordingly. Happy days long since gone unfortunately...

 

 

Who's this SPA then?

Your 'big' brother....

I was always 'Troutman' on the internet going back to the beginnings of MAME and the CD sharing service etc.  Then it became 'Trouty' because it's like snappier and 'down with the kids' then I had to change it on FME related forums to 'Geddy' because some c**t reported me to work for using the forums during work time, which I of course did because I was on the sick lol...
