When I start the table and during play there are very repetitive "pinball" sounds that don't seem to go with the table, I tried setting ROM sounds to "off" thinking that was it, but they persist. Any ideas?

 

Check the support thread (this is the review thread).

IIRC, I ended-up silencing the Taito sound-effects but it might have taken more than one setting. I think I ended-up muting all built-in rom-noises.

Is there any working link for the music anymore ? The link in the download has nothing anymore.

Ahhhh the drop box link works by downloading media pack.

How i can Fix this error?

Why Pinmame 3.6 ?

There are so much errors in the Exist unoffiziel Version 3.6 so i dont use it and stay on 3.5 till the Day its coming out the Offiziell 3.6

The final score vanishes very quickly after the game ends--is there a way to get it to display again before startng another?

Fantastic movie, one of the best soundtracks, and an amazing table that ties it all together! Thank you for the update!!

The videos coupled with the music and game play is impressive and makes the table alot of fun to play. 

 

Of note - on previous versions I put the song files directly in the music folder.

This didn't work with the 4.0 update.

I had to make a folder in the Music folder called 'HeavyMetal' and placed the music files inside. This worked for me. 

 

Thank you for all of the work and detail that goes into this table - one of my favorites!

You could try changing the time it going back to attract screen, but the rom display itself does not actually wait very long
before it goes to doing the high scores display.

you could display the VPM score, which might show you a little longer

Yes, music needs to be in heavymetal folder inside music
that avoids a basket case of unknown music files in a mass lump later.

I believe I got some kind of error like "403 error"; but now the downloads work.  I got something different the first time vs. the second; if I clicked right the first time.
