thanks Bigus. can i ask you when you do a mod to add the version of the table you use as a base ?it will be more easy to track if your version is based on the last version or if they are correction on the original that was made after the version you use... thank you

hi Bigus1, i have found the 1.70 rom gives me alot of stutter and choppy gameplay but with the 1.80rom it is much smoother. I have an issue with the left flipper sometimes sticking or not responding when i push the button.

Hello i changed the line to

 

const cgamename = "mtl_180"

 

but i always get pinmame error rom is invalid, check rom path or rom file.

 

i got both 1.80 roms (Premium and Pro) and put both into a zip named "mtl_180.zip".

 

But with both i get the pinmame error.

 

How does it work with 1.80?

 

i use vpx 10.7 beta/10.6 and latest pinmame 3.4.

 

 

 

Ok sry i got it.

 

Limited Edition Rom has to be named "mtl_180h".

 

But the backround picture doesn´t show up, but it´s defined.

What do i have to change to show it up?!

If you're talking about Desktop view, "Unable Decals" has to be checked (see below)

Hey that works. Thanks a lot :tup: :)

And yes, i am in Desktop Mode.

This is confusing me. Isn´t this table for Desktop Mode?! I loaded and started the table normaly without any changes to the config except the rom name in the script.

VPX does not really have such thing as a table being for XXX mode, unlike VP9

A table can be for any mode

You have a thread open just for that topic, please keep there and not in table support thread

Love this Metallica table mod, great work Bigus!  

 

However, I've got a performance issue where it won't play smoothly at all, and this is the only table that I've experienced this issue...  Is there a reason for the stuttering and overall unusable gameplay?

 

Alienware R4 2017 GTX 1080 3 monitor setup. Running as HD 1080 for the playfield. I can install and run the original version (with less stutter but still apparent), but the playfield is too narrow, and I appreciate your wider vision :)

 

Any thoughts to increasing the performance of the table with settings or other?

 

EDIT:  Big Baller Installer June 2023, VPX 10.7 I believe.

I only have desktop which works fine, so I suggest disabling add-ons (B2S, PUP) one at a time and see what happens. There are other versions that you can try but they all have the RGB lighting backwards so that instead of demonic reds and oranges, you get sky blues and pinks which makes it look more like My Little Pony than Metallica. Good Luck :)

1. Download the ROM from Stern's website.

2. Add that downloaded file (.bin) to a zip archive using an application like 7zip.

3. Name or rename that zip file "mtl_170h" (less the quotes) with the file extension of .zip.


Check out my website for any latest updates or information on current builds that I am working on.

Thanks for the quick reply! Glad to know it works on a single monitor. I'll have to look into how to disable those then. Do I just not use the directb2s file to make it disabled? I don't think I had a PUP pack installed for Metallica.
I tried opening Visual Pinball and adjusting the Visual/Display settings for the lowest possible and it still had the same issue.

Whenever I press 4 to add coins I have to hit it like 10 times to get 4 coins. Every key press is lagged and the table gets stuck for a second or two where the ball disappears and then drained because of the performance :(

Really want to enjoy this table. My avatar box says so! Lmao
