Hehehe is very funny that phrase of the submarine.
That error betrays my poverty with scripts, I find it hard to understand some things, because I never program, and sometimes I just copy and do not know very well that I do everything but I already understood several things little by little I am improving, thanks to these comments.

That's the thing. I can't explain why there is a difference. I just know that I would not start a sub with a exit check :)

Hi Pin- Pete, have you unzipped the file and put in the nvram- folder?


The rom works perfectly here Mustang. You just have to follow the PM I sent you to get a "working" rom. It's over at the site we're not supposed to talk about.

 

Yes, thank you for your PM, I have the full sound and the game is playing ok - but not via PinballX. There the plunger does not be released.

Problem solved. I knew, that I did something wrong. Thanks for help.


Greetings:Petri

Am I alone having a not round-shaped ball?

To make the ball look round you should go to "Preferences - Video options" and click in Stretch ball with table as in the image that accompanies here

In desktop mode it does not work, the X and Y scale must have the same values, and the layback 0.

thanks kiwi, I know that he was sure he had a cabinet, but it is very possible that he uses desktop, a second opinion is always good

If you are using desktop mode I leave a pov for the ball to look round, import it from "file - import - Backdrop POV"

Hey guys,

 

I read that the ROM on vpforums for this table doesn't have sound working correctly. I've been trying to download the rom from VPU for a couple days now, but it appears their whole ROM/Download section is down as well.

 

Does anyone have a working ROM for this table?

Hello, I just downloaded this table, I have the proper rom and it's in the rom folder. However I do not have any game sounds, only ball,flippers. Am I doing something wrong. When I hit f6 I tried every combination with the dip switches, yet nothing. Can anyone assist me with this issue?

Hit F1 and check "Use Samples"  Most of the oldies require this.

I install this table on my notebook today.

After a few adjustments, I had a result that was acceptable to me.

Then finally play a few rounds

 

I AM ENTHUSIASTIC

 

What a great gaming experience.

The graphics are beautiful too and all this with Vpx6.

 

Many, many thanks for your work
