Title: visual pinball and vpinmame can't get working help?
Post by: tyweed on April 08, 2003, 02:16:00 pm: I'm trying to get visual pinball and vpinmame to work but i'm having a very hard time. I installed visual pinball placed tables in table folder .then installed vpinmame and put roms in rom folder. when i test roms via the setup screen foir vpinmame everything works great. but now i'm trying to get that led screen to show up on the pinball game and it won't any ideas why? i tried posting at that vp forum and got no help this forum is much better lease any ideas would be great. oh also i placed a script vsbsp3.0 or something in visual pinball table section so i think i inswtalled everything ok?

When it opens select play and the table should load and say preparing table. Vpinmame should then come up and you click on it to play the table. You will probably get a do you own this table display the first time you play it.

Once you get that far you might want to try VPLauncher.

Post by: tyweed on April 09, 2003, 08:17:22 pm: well for example mr_ms pacman when i load it i get the table with scores up top but the fonts are cutt in half? as are most fonts in the tables? when i hit setup in vpinmame and hit test hit the mspac.zip it loads just fine the little black screen. but when i go to visual pinball and click the table ity just loads the table i just dont get this?

i have a pinball folder inside i installed visual pinball..

then i created folder inside pinball called vpinmame and placed all vpinmame stuff there.

then vbs .zip extracted to tables and i get nothing??

what you think this is driving me crazy!!

fonts are cutt up and vinmame will not load ahhhhhhhhhhh!
