-follow the installation guide EXACTLY
-if you don't know how to extract, look on google
-as a 'backup' DO NOT delete VP 9.0.2
when you've finished the guide, you should have 3 VPinball icons on your desktop, right click on each, go to preferences, compatibility and tick run this program as an administator, click APPLY then ok.
-when you do the scripts, put them IN and OUT of the tables folder. go to c:\Program Files\Visual Pinball\Tables and have each one seperately AND in a folder. when you extract the scripts, extract directly to c:\Program Files\Visual Pinball\Tables and after from your downloads list, open scripts again and ectract but leave the path the same, then drag the unzipped folder into the tables folder.
-when loading a table, only choose ROM and language, if you choose anything on the second menu, you might cause a glitch (on addams family this caused auto fire and unlimited balls and the matrix always says ball 1
-extract the fonts to c:/Windows\Fonts DIRECTLY and overwrite the fonts there (copy and replace)
by not deleting VP9.0.2 you get VP8, VP9.0.2 and VP9.1.2, means nothing can go wrong. always follow the guide. for a perfect addams family game, download the addams family gold (not the remake) from VPm recreations in VP8 with the l7 ROM
-some tables may need more then one ROM, for different languages etc, so you could download all available roms or more often than not the most downloaded rom
-ROMs stay ZIPPED, after downloading a rom open it from the downloads menu and it'll open a new window, where it should be zipped. from the left hand side, drag the ROM folder into the subfolder in VPinMAME.
-when extracting files to a folder directly with the path, you need to REBOOT your computer then play VP. don't try and save time i like i did cos it just delays time
- any other problems, reply to this topic, if you get any errors, you ;ight be playing aa VP8 table in VP9 and vice versa so check. by having all 3 pinball's check each one if they have the same error.
Good Luck and i hope this helps
EDIT* 2 NOV 2011
to solve the error of the roms, where a new window pops when you try to play a table, go to VP folder and then vpinmame, roms and open the rom for your game but DO NOT EXTRACT. if a file inside there is the same as the game is looking for, open a new folder and drag it in there WITH THE NAME OF THE ROM FILE THE GAME EXPECTS IT TO BE. depending how many files the game is lookinf=g for, if you dont have them, download another most likely rom, open, then drag the folder into the roms subfolder in vpinmame. then open and if a file in there is one you need, drag it into the file you created by the name ofthe game expects it to be. put the folder you vreated into the roms subfolder in vpinmame.
EXAMPLE
for simpsons pinball party, the game expects the folder to be simpprty and to be in the roms subfolder with the following files:
etc etc etc..... MOST LIKELY the files are in different roms as mentioned. hope this helps!
