.....everything looked normal and I submitted four scores.....

I'm assuming that the rest worked fine , submitting score page and all but you couldn't find the scores on the hiscore page....

You are correct; everything looked and felt normal, all the way through "Thanks for playing."

.....I think you have downloaded the full version instead of the update.....

There is a chance that you made a typo in your name or code ...as this gets checked....if it doesn't check out the score is just discarded.

So, the code is verified after submission, rather than before play?

I went back, played AFM VP9 and submitted, but that didn't show, either; obviously it's something I did, so I'll check what files I have and try to figure what I should have, and know exactly where I messed up (I'm silly that way)---and I'll check the code, too.

Thanks; I've got the next round drinks.gif

Yes , it's only one way communication to the server.
So it can't be done otherwise , because of the way it is build (well it always can with a lot of time and effort of course)
There is no interaction between the program and database.
The program just sends the info and a php webpage is receiving that info and processes it.

Usually not a problem this check on user and code as you hardly ever have to change it.....but alas in this situation.....
Could be a space after the code or name or something like that......
My best guess is it's something like that......or no internetconnection.......but you would have noticed that I think....

There's nothing wrong with the way PINemHi is built, as long as dummies don't sabotage their own downloads (hee hee ouch!). It may be a few days before I get to it, but I'll let you know what I dig up. Thanks again.

Wow........................
Congrats dude on achieving level 2 Worship.gif otvclap.gif clapping.gif dblthumb.gif band.gif aikido.gif
What a score..............

Starttime: 17:17:34
Endtime: 18:48:40

So, you did that score in 1 hour and 31 minutes.......that's fast.
Take 1 minute off for starting the game and filling in your initials at the end.....under 1:30 I would say.................

I got the destroy ring champion for LOTR and reported time is off (I actually got 1:18.38). I was going to put my nvram up but as I have not got my subscription yet I do not think I can. Will a screen shot do for proof of actual time?

p.s. Sorry this takes up half the screen but I accidently closed the link you get after you upload your pic and lost the smaller versions facepalm.gif

Hi Drawde,

For the next release I have a fix for it that (hopefully) works rolleyes.gif

Does everyone else have the switch problem with the ramp not paying at all on Lethal Weapon 3,?

It makes this game hard with no ramp millions or collect Jackpots.

Thanks ced

I was suspicious of the amount of xtra ball that you can earn.

So I used a fresh nvram and it was the same, so it,s a valid score ...... just had to check.

The new nvram game I would have rolled it (10B) 1st ball ...... the game breaks and just ends. Got the Eternal Life 1 B shot at 9.4B and game ended.
So will have to creep up as close to 9.999.999.990 as possible.

Game also keeps the score after it breaks (9.4B) ...... also submitted.

Thank you all for testing and using and supporting PinemHi and thank you DnaDisturber very much for making this available!
Keep up all the good work and fun!

I'm very sorry to feel the need to notify you, that I feel, that my job is done regarding PinemHi. I'm very happy that it has
become some success. I will keep track of it further, but I don't further participate activly.

I thought PinemHi would/could bring back the fun to play PC pinball that I once had in the early days of VP. But a while after
the first games using PinemHi, the fun didn't come back anyway. It's no fault of VP/VPinMAME/PinemHi, but it seems to be part
of my actual common indifferentism.

I hope you understand what I mean.

I'm sorry! Have fun!

It makes this game hard with no ramp millions or collect Jackpots.


Open the Script Editor and go to the lines 373/374 , deletes the two apostrophes ahead of the two lines (373/374).
Now look for the Trigger "ramptrigger1" (at the entrance of the ramp) , select it and change the Surface "Ramp363" with "Ramp364" .
Sorry but I can not test this table , this table stutters.

Hi Kiwi,

Thanks for this solution...
But it shouldn't be used in combination with pinemhi leaderboard because it would change the table.
The table should be played as is....

People could of course rename the table and alter it to make sure they don't use it with pinemhi leaderboard.
That's all to make sure everybody plays the same game..

Nope, not in pinemhi leaderboard...
It 's based on the honor system.
