Hi all,

 

With the help of the forum and the great tutorials I have set up VP as a first step towards the Cab I want to build.

Unfortunately, I am running into an issue fpr which I can find no solution sofar.

Running VP 915 I get the tables to run perfectly.

 

But as soon as I add a Backglass and call up the server (using 1.3.01.) by exchanging

Set Controller = CreateObject("VPinMAME.Controller")
with

Set Controller = CreateObject("UltraVP.BackglassServ")

in the table´s script half the sound disappears. While the Backglass works fine the sounds from the ROMs disappear.

All I am left with are the sounds from within the table. i.e. Bumpers, ramps etc.

The music and explanations are gone.

They are gone and not low in volume. I have checked manually increasing the volume by using the keys END, 8 & 9, as decribed in other threads.

 

Any idea what might cause this?

Where can I find an older version of the B2S Server?

First: that shouldn't happen at all.

Second: Set Controller = CreateObject("UltraVP.BackglassServ") has nothing to do with the directb2s server - that's an UltraVP (UVP) backglass.

Third: sometimes, when you start and close tables several times, the sound stops working. After restarting VP the sound might come back.

 

You can try a B2S table (which uses "Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")) to see if the sound problem maybe has something to do with the ultravp server.

@MaX  You are of course right that I got things mixed up. I learnt about VP etc. a week ago while looking into MAME Cabinets and still don´t fully understand how everything works and fits together.

 

So to correct my initial statement from above:   When using UVP with the tables the sound out of the ROMs disappears.

Restarting tables, VP or even the system does not help.

I can reproduce the error by switching in the scrip.

 

I have downloaded some .directB2S Backscreens and with these everything works well.

So I hope to find dB2S files for my tables which I can set up in a 3 monitor cabinet I am planning. The MAME Cab can wait.

Here is how i have been fixing missing rom sounds. Right click DMD  left click settings uncheck use sound exit

VP will error/crash close it and then reopen it. do the same thing again and click use sound. Fixed

 

If you are using db2s comment out uvp or your table will probablly crash on exit
