Hi there, I am new to this site and I have downloaded some Fruit machine roms to play but they have the extension bin on them and i do not know what to do with them I tried to find a emulator to run bin files but couldnt find one. I tried using the MFME 11 emulator but bin files dont work with that emulator, can anyone please help me I would be most grateful, thanks

Hi and welcome. Excatly which section of the roms did you download the pinball roms from. Let me know and I will be able to point you in the right direction.

Hi there

it was from this section https://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/ind ... hines/ROMs
it has all the old style arcade fruit machines in it. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly

Your best choice will be MFME or Multiple Fruit Machine Emulator. We dont have that in our Emulators section that I could find but it easily found on the internet, just google MFME. We do have the roms and the snapshots for it.

Good luck.

Hi thanks for getting back to me, I have downloaded that emulator but the roms dont show up because the extension in the roms from here is bin and only files with extension gam will show up in the MFME so when I click on the folder for the game it shows nothing in the folder even though there is a list of files in ever rom , i thought it would be just a matter of downloading the roms and playing them through an emulator

Have you tried those particular rom images with MAME, it might work with them.

yeah I have tried Mame couldnt get them to work, been trying for a few hours tonight again, still no joy

I have asked around for you and will update once I know more.

The roms will end in .bin, the layout files/game files end in .gam - these are what mfme uses to play the game, the .gam file tells mfme which roms it needs.

Download the .gam file for the machine you want as well as it's .bin file. Load the .gam into MFME and it should work.

Hi thank you for getting back to me, I downloaded the rom files from here and they only have them with .bin at the end, I dont know where to find them with .gam at the end. where can I find the .gam files?
