Still not, no.. The SAMbuild is still slightly different.. I hope i can finally get rid of that in the near future and make those remaining changes a bit cleaner..

[tictox]

hey toxie , just tied up with some tight deadlines until monday. I will make the revisions you asked about and send them to you right after that.

ok before I started my other work i did two revisions , both with changed copyright and one each of changed middle text as requested. I cropped the ratio so it is no longer square to avoid excessive dead space , hope this is not an issue for you. I also did two variation of these using a custom hand made star field overlay. so a mix of modern and a touch of arcade etc.. still neat , just thought it would be nice to play with ideas.

there are my favourite 3 :

don't lock your self into 32 bit only.

[Thalamus]

Can't help it. I like the old logos more. Old logos kind of fits with the software' goal of reproducing old pinball machines. Old for old. And I also agree. 32bit is something we preferable where not locked on to. Hopefully one day in the future, we will a better working native 64bit.

[toxie]

(V)PinMAME(32) is fully working in 64bit, and this build even also ships with the VPX installer. The only thing that is not supported in there is DDraw (as there is no 64bit DX7).

 

I'm only still paranoid about VPX 64bit, as it's not tested that well (but in theory and pratice (i.e. my own tests only) fully works). So far there was also no real need for going 64bit. (for VPinMAME there was, due to the Unreal Engine and Unity Engine pinball efforts back then. Both died by now though AFAIK.)

[Thalamus]

I though that there were some issues related to at91jit and 64bit ? Don't remember where I've heard that though.

[toxie]

That's also true, already forgot about that. AT91JIT is disabled on 64bit, as the code is only generated for 32bit. So SAM tables will be more demanding and less accurate.

hey toxie , just shedding some light on the subject. Although those other unity things fell flat and unreal stuff .. I still use vpinmame in unity stuff There was once an issue with 64bit version causing issues. Unity also used to have various restrictions on .net versions for editor vs deploy etc. Just so you know non of that exists anymore , I switched to using the 32 bit with unity years go and it functions just fine. To be honest I have not re tested the 64 bit version since that so I cant say it still has issues or not. 

 

ps have you managed to create a dll with new splash screens yet? Let me know, I will republish all 5 of my unity games with the latest Vpinmame once you do  

[toxie]

No new dlls yet, but i can create a new beta cycle here, makes sense anyway. Will do so later-on.

 

Looking forward to your releases! 

[tictox]

nice thanks , good idea. I have been upgrading them over time to take advantage of all the new things in each unity version. Physics keeps getting better , lighting keeps getting better. The last time i had consolidated all the tables and the had ui that could send the dmd and backglass to any display and you could control sizes and positions. you could also rotate the camera for cabinet , and even manually set it. Just for cab users the one thing i dont have is any DOF stuffs so it not as appealing to most cab users - regardless, as they stand, they are the only up to date unity builds using Unity 2019.2 and new VpinMame which is a good showcase to have around

- New logos by tictox

- If you create a VPMAlias.txt file in the VPinMAME folder, it will alias an input rom name to the specified (real) rom. Format example:
   mytallica,mtl_180hc
   myacdc,acd_170hc
  This can be used to allow to use different PUP or DOF profiles per game (for reskins and such).

[tictox]

Nice one Toxie , Im already testing. So far all good , im testing fish tales. I noticed though something in unity changed because when vpinmame would launch unity did not lose focus. Now it seems to loose focus. ( aka you need to click on the screen to get key events working on it ) not sure what they changed here so I need to go digging for a solution. Other than that working like a charm  

[phlove]
