Does anyone know how to do this or could maybe point me in the direction of a tutorial.

Also trying to figure out how to edit the roms available.

Any help is appreciated

[Grizz]

damn man!

where have u been?

[russdx]

grab a copy of visual studio, directx2007 sdk

download the pinmame source from the svn repo

 

hit build

then spend hours figuring out all the compile errors

[toxie]

compile errors??

there shouldn't be any..

 

btw: you'll need a copy of nasm, too..

[russdx]

There is when u set the project up wrong lol. Which i some how manage to do every time i swap to a new version of visual studio lol

[Spektre]

How do you "set it up right"?

 

I "grabbed a copy of Visual Studio"  (2010 Pro in my case)

 

Installed the DX7 SDK.

 

Am staring at 80+ odd warnings most from file  C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets

 

Most for things not declared or elements in namespaces with invalid children.

 

The only error is: "

Error 89 error MSB3073: The command "@echo off
if ".%VPIN_DIR%" == "." set VPIN_DIR=C:\UPin\VisualPinball\data\exe
echo VPIN_DIR="%VPIN_DIR%"
if not exist "%VPIN_DIR%" mkdir "%VPIN_DIR%"
copy "C:\Users\Spektre\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\VisualPinball\Debug\VBATest.exe" "%VPIN_DIR%"

:VCEnd" exited with code 1. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets 113 6 VBATest"

 

Hmm, it compiles OK, but the executable name is VPinball.exe.  It is looking for a VBATEST.exe to copy...

So everythings fine then.. But then of course all the other discussions were about VPM and not VP..

toxie did you see guess game thread - there is a bug in vp914 in parsing command line

looks like command line option /play is taken even from table name, so table name is cut off two characters after the word play - so every table that has play in the name fails to load

[toxie]

"Interesting", didn't see that one.. On my list now..

great, tnx!

It's probably present in anything after 9.1.2 as I believe I ran into that issue when I added the gamepad stuff (not just 9.1.4), as I was using my "preview" builds on my cab from that point on and ran into that issue with the playboy table. I didn't think much of it at the time, I just renamed it and forgot about it.

yup 912 works ok, after that it doesn't

[koadic]

Ok, toxie has updated to rev346 which is said to fix this issue. I have compiled it and made it available in my sig.

[blur]

tnx guys, great job - this fixes "cut at play" bug - but now any game won't load

 

looks like it needs quotes around the name

 

there is one "-" on the start of the name - don't know where it came from, command line is:

..\vpinball.exe /play "Antar (Playmatic System 2) (1979) (Mickey) (1.1.0).vpt"

 

and error message is Error loading -pathtogame\gamaname.vpt

damn.. i'll look into it.. :/

[toxie]

okay, added more stuff, hopefully should work now like expected..

Well, I compiled the latest changes and 439 is in my main folder (the 'all daily builds' link) but there is still an issue with command line parsing with a similar error message as above.

[luvthatapex]

Do you update a changelog with these builds? I enjoy trying the builds, but I'd like to know what changes from build to build.

 

Thanks for keeping this program fresh and new!
