Hello! I've been playing the Farsight Pinball Arcade for quite some time now and they haven't added any new tables to their games and can't seem to find new games out there with more modern tables from the past few years or so. So I decided to give VPX a try. I got VPX installed and downloaded Attack From Mars as a test before I dive into newer games and I got as far as what seems to be a CAD file popping up but pressing play comes up with a controller error which I assume is the ROM which I can't seem to find anywhere in the downloaded files to actually put in the ROM folder of VPX. I think I'm on the right track but any help would be appreciated, thanks!

   Roms are in a separate category in the download section. If you’re new to VPX, I would encourage you to start with the all in one installer found here as well. It will set everything up for you and put it all in the right places. You will love VPX

Odd, I downloaded all available files after clicking download and not one contained the ROM, I just tried a Michael Myers download and it only had the one file and I can't even get that one working at all. The only thing I can get sort of working is the afformentioned CAD file for AFM from Groni Pinball, couldn't even get jpsalas version to get that far

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I searched for the AFM ROM, downloaded it, and put it in the ROM folderwhile still zipped because that's what everyone seemingly says to do, same controller error

Did you do the all in one installer?

make sure AFM rom you downloaded is the same as specified in the tablescript cgamename =

there are several versions of afm rom
if the table script refers to a different version, change it to the romname that you downloaded


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways
