Cliffy. That is not the way to maintain a rom collection. All files has a unique checksum, use clrmamepro or romcenter to do the work for you. I use clrmamepro, so, the way it does it is that it sees the checksum for a file, knows what its proper name is, and knows what zip it should go into. If you just let it, it can audit all your roms and make the whole collection in tip top shape. Advice, take a backup before you begin. It is powerful, and on the first runs it can be a bit hard to understand all the options.

heh heh Yeah I know you're right. I use it for all my mame arcade roms but have never used it on my pinmame roms- never really had to! I always feared it would break the SAM color patched roms too. As always though you're right- back 'em up before turning clrmamepro on 'em

So I have been testing a couple of Bally sys 6803 games. Atlantis as a example, And I noticed that my service switches don't do any thing for any or the games in this Line.. I'm just trying to set the ones to Free play. I also know that a few of the actual machines used a keyboard system along with the dedicated service switches. Weird I know. Anyone have any Ideas how to get these working? So we can access the operators menu

[xenonph]

Atlantis does not have a freeplay option.

You can however lower the High Score for replay to lowest possible so you would get free game every time,

You can hit the Open Coin Door key (End key), and then hit the number 9 on keyboard. You will see Game Status in player display.

You use the left and right shift keys to toggle options, and the 1 key to enter it.

When finished press 9 to restart table and save changes.

@xenonph: did you test this with the latest offical VPM release? (just double checking if i broke something)

@Toxie

I am in fact using newest official VPinMAME release.

 

Settings are being saved and working.

 

@naeromagus

 

You can add this line of script to Key Down section and it will add coins every time you press the player1 start key.

 

    If keycode = 2 then vpmTimer.pulseSW (swCoin1)

 

Now you will always have credits.

 

EDIT:

Joe is right, there are Freeplay Settings.

First open the Coin Door (End key)

Then press 9 and you will see in display window Game Status.

Press right flipper until you see Game Setup in display window.

Press the player1 start key, and you will see Factory Setting in display window.

Hit right flipper until you see Freeplay.

Hit the player1 start key and now use right flipper to set from No to Yes.

Hit 9 to save and restart.

Okay with some testing i had to Pull My interlock switch out to the games service switch to work. My Williams coindoor works Normally with all the other games, for Example games that had A Interlock switch. the Pinmame knows when i have my Door open or Closed. Hmm maybe some to do with me changing the VPMKeys As Outlined on MJR'S website.

Either way now I know how to access the Sys 6803 operator menu

Hello,

 

I noticed updating, (i´m with two screen setup, vpinmame 3.5 and vp 10.7.2) that the Mario Andretti rom, shows always more digits below the regular DMD, I tried with .ShowDMDOnly = 1 but not hidding those.

 

Thanks

Because that is part of the VPM display, you wont get rid of that
VPM is going to display anything the ROM says exists in the display controller
And those digits exist in it, look on the playfield.

 

 

[toxie]

True. If this is not wanted, you would need to use an external DMD display like freezys.

[millansoft]

Thanks for the info

Never been able to install this one..

ROM  ???  Who knows...

Place the contents of zip file in your VPinMAME folder, and overwrite when asked. (Make back up copy of everything before you do this just in case.)

Then you need to run the Setup.exe and click the Install button for the install to be completed.

That is all you have to do.

There seem to be a problem on the PinMAME.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E:\PinMAME>PinMAME -listxml bullsen2 bullseye bullsey2 dm_lx4c dm_lx4 jd_l1at jd_l7 jd_l1d kisse kiss kissf magicb magic princesb princess stingrab stingray tridentc trident ww_p6 ww_l5  1>PinMAME_missing_roms.xml
error: duplicate gamename: bullseye
error while parsing cmdline

E:\PinMAME>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

PinMAME_missing_roms.xml size 0

 

PinMAME32 have the same problem. But no error shown.

 

PinMAME -listxml > PinMAME_roms.xml works fine.

 

I can just check box on the ones I need from the cmpro list. That will be just fine.

[Gaston]

Also happens with

pinmame -listxml kiss kissf

So maybe listxml is not supposed to take parameters?

[toxie]

listxml was added at some point via an external patch (i think), no clue which sideeffects it has..

[kiwi]

The Farfalla knocker only works in ROM test mode, when in play it should fire for a replay, nothing happens.
