I am having trouble setting the paths in my global setting. when i click on the script link, my computer comes back and says that it must close down. Now that stops me from looking at  my paths inside my global settings.  what should i do? help?

[cchris66]

lets see if i can re-phase the question.  i'm trying to install the Vpinmame installation and the program stops and says it has to close. Now this is preventing me to check or change the various settings (paths/directories) for my visual pinball to work. what should I do?   HELP!!!

Hello,

 

I would first like to say a big THANK YOU for posting these videos.  I'd like to consider myself beyond a beginner and yet I learned quite a bit from watching these!  :-)

 

One question about placing the .VBS scripts in a "Scripts" directory rather than in the tables directory.  How do you set up pathing to this directory for tables that normally look for these scripts in the tables directory?  Having a separate scripts directory is a much cleaner approach but I don't see how to get tables to look to this path.  Suggestions?

 

Thanks again for the great work!

[Kaan]

You don't need to change anything. Just put them under scripts directory and you are done.

I'm having a problem viewing these tutorials. If I click & watch within the small window the text is sharp but too small to read. If I go full screen the text get big & blurry & cannot read it. Also, is there supposed to be sound because I'm not getting any?

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

This new installer takes care of most of the install challenges:  http://www.vpforums....&showfile=11573

 

No sound in these videos, but they should be available in 1080p if you change your youtube settings

I installed an All in one.. And downloaded the Medieval Madness.. But when I start the table appears the text: Game ROMS invalid! I tried so many tables.. And all appears that mensagem.. Whats i should to do.. I tried to instal with your videos.. But it doesn't work too..

[Brer Frog]

Did you also download the ROM file needed?

[Niro007]

So we're suppose to install roms and other files to be able to play the game?

[4EVERBOOTS]

Just the VPinMame ones Niro007. The VP tables doesn't need roms.

[xenonph]

The reason the tables don't come with the ROM already installed is because of legal reasons. Thats why you won't find a ROM included with any download available here.

But you will find a link to the ROM on the download Page where you downloaded table.

 

After downloading ROM, place the zipped folder in your roms folder located where you installed Visual Pinball.
