No it means you have mismatched files

THIS FILE you download and extract contents to the VpinMAME folder

 

THIS FILE you download, and you only need to extract the DMDDevice64.dll to the VpinMAME folder

Where is the DmdDevice64.dll file? I couldn't find it. Both zip's had only following files:

- DmdDevice.dll

- DmdDevice.ini

- DmdDevice.log.config

- dmdtext.exe

- dmdtext.log.config

- ProPinballSlave.bat

 

So... where is the DmdDevice64.dll file?

In answer to the 2nd part

Esc button is supposed to bring up the debug menu
Q will bring it up 1st press and quit table on 2nd press

 

that is normal

 

DMD if you have exclusive fullscreen on, will go to the background and stay there
 

 

And i am not sure what you mean by the whole web folder?

the vpx file goes in TABLES folder

 

theweb.ultradmd folder goess in TABLES folder intact

The music files go in the vpx\music folder, but JUST the files, dont copy the "thewebMusic" folder itself into music, just the music files

I just tested the game after I had put vpx and theweb.ultradmd into their according folders. Now the game works as it should, just as long as I launch the VPX program from the Visual Pinball/Tables manually. So I created a shortcut of the The Web VPX file and moved it outside the folder. So far: No problems although now only letters are shown in their appropriate color and not the DMD background. However: If this is how it's supposed to be, then everything is fine.

 

Thank you and Outthere for yours help.

 

I have one more question though: If I download some other pinball table zip files from here, do I need to move the vpx file to the Tables or VPMAME folder? And is there something else I need to do, to make them work?

TABLE VPX files always go in tables
DMD folders always go in tables

Music files go into the music folder, with no sub folders.
Only thing that ever goes in pinmame table wise is roms into the vpinmame roms folder.

I have done as you said and I keep getting the same VBScript error that prevents me for starting any of the pinball tables in this site that are downloadable except for The Web. The error is following:

"(machine name and version) terminated before initialized, check rom path or rom file!"

The only file I get when I download these tables from here, is the VPX that I place on tables folder as you instructed but the game still does not work.

ROM images do not generally come packed with the table, you have to seek those separately.
And if Gottlieb, you may want to learn french

TheWeb is a non ROM table, it runs fine because it is all in script, there is no ROM for it because there is no real wold hardware.
EM tables also use no ROM, it's all in the script.

A table like ACDC or Attack from Mars etc uses a ROM, which is the program code from the real machines controller
which VpinMAME emulates, just like MAME does for arcade games.

So I must have both: ROM and VPX files of the table in question to make the table work?

 

I also wonder where could I find the different ROM files?

For solid state games you also need Rom
Usually When you do a search for the game the Rom's will show up
Usually the download page for the Game in a lower right you have a link for the Rom

I know a lot of this seems overwhelming now because it was for me but after a while it's just old stuff
