No idea where to put this really. I was gonna donate (I not sure if the gold donos clearly exist) but I have tried to donate erm I got a error message............I not sure if the download rules/limits still even exist on here? (saying that noticed no new uploads for over 4 years) is there any sites similair to fruit-emu?

Yes this site is dead, try visiting Desert Island Fruits @ http://www.desertislandfruits.com

Apparently I can't join that site..............used my main email address (which I don't remember signing up with) reset my password................and met with a lovely Banned message (and seemingly no way to contact them either)(

hello everyone!

I haven't posted for a few years, but just wanted to say thanks to all involved with this site.

 

It was at the forefront of fruit emu, as far as I can tell.

 

My first layouts/roms were downloaded from Maroney's Web Hovel.... you'll probably know he is on Youtube under 'Harry Headwound' and advises using https://www.desertis...forum/index.phpfor FME.

If this site was a horse they would take it out to the stables and shoot it in the face.

You are so mean...what about the original FME site...lol

Yes the site is dead, but that doesn't mean it's still not a valuable archive resource for FME and fruit machines in general.

 

There's a wealth of information about many of the actual machines that couldn't be, but can now be emulated, when they were new or upcoming releases. Also plenty of flyers/pics of machines etc....

 

As a new member, it's pretty outdated and useless, but it contains a lot of information on the history of FME and actual fruit machines, in the 2000's.

 It's a shame, but I totally agree with you - and coming from a former moderator of the site, it is ironic bud...

It was the place to be, as WAC has said... it was a magical place about 10-15 years ago - the only place to be.

 

The times move on, as we all do. In fact this is first time I've posted here in nearly 2 years!

Its a shame it cannot be given a dignified sympathetic 'walk away' hate to see it like this rather it be read only and redirect to whats left of FME

[altharic]

Genuine offer, database not arsed about the hosting £100 I will then hand the DB to Pete so it can be made read only and archived.
