I download and extract the tables no problem. I get the ROM and copy the unzipped folder to the rom folder. However, every time I try to play I get the following message.

ROM set is missing. VPinMAME cant run the game.

The roms are there. Ive tried multiple times with multiple table. I get the same message every time. The EM games play fine.

Did you run setup.EXE in the VPinMame folder and make sure the setup path's are correct

And click INSTALL, incase its an old DLL still registered?

I've fixed the problem by reading what rom the table needs once it crashes.
