Title: IMSI Multimedia Fusion to create a FE?
Post by: creatine28 on March 04, 2003, 01:53:28 pm

Does anybody have experince using IMSI Multimedia Fusion?  I'm thinking of trying to create my own FE for my cocktail cab and I'm just wondering how good the software is?  

Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken this program is the evolution of click and play and other "instant program" applications.  

If it doesn't have the ability to call shell or api calls then it's useless to you as you would never be able to launch the games.  If it does then you still have the problem of finding source code for examples, which you aren't going to find easily.  

My advice is if you are familiar with the app and it's syntax and know that you have a way to actually launch the games then go for it.  Otherwise your efforts would be better spent learning a true coding language, as proprietary code like that limits what you can do and isn't well documented by other developers.
