File Submitter: bigus1

File Submitted: 23 Sep 2023

File Category: VPX/VPinMAME - MOD Tables

Author(s): Bigus1, allknowing2012, jpsalas, wiesshund
Manufacturer: Stern
Year: 2015
Permission to MOD?: Unspecified

This fully scripted tribute table from allknowing2012 is great fun.
I used wiesshund's mod with its embedded music and optimised
audio and graphics for this makeover - Thanks wiesshund -
and the table was built using jpsalas' Pokemon. No ROM required.
Place the DMD folder in your Tables folder and you're good to go.
 
3.0 has layout and physics errors fixed with better lighting and 
the gameplay is greatly improved and more fun. Music options near top of script.
Enjoy

Nice update Bigus1 but a few tweaks needed, if I may. The scoop weldment Primitive1 should have the z rotation at 175 and uncheck visible. Also the outer rail shadows leave sharp black lines so I unchecked visible on those as well. 

Thanks for the update!

Very nice bigus, thanks.

Hello and thank you for the table.

 

How can I re-activate Ultra DMD, after ticking the box "hide DMD"?

 

And how can scale the DMD, or are only the pre-set sizes possible?

 

Big thanks in advance for all replies.

Big thanks in advance for all replies.

If you have the freezy or lucky1 external dmddevice.dll's in your \vpinmame folder you should be able to grab the ultradmd with your mouse and move or size as needed. Run FlexDMDUI.exe in the vpinmame folder and see if the flex dmd as well as dmddevice and dmddevice64 dll's are up to date and registered by green check mark.

Hello, 

 

Nice job. I think there maybe a bug when playing 2 player mode. After the 3rd ball drain on the two player mode, another ball is loaded into the second players chute This occurred during a Hi-Score Prompt, so not sure if it's related to the player 2 high score, or if it's all the time. I was able to reproduce it a few times (but also got high scores because I just started playing the table).  Hopefully someone else can verify. Thanks!

Hi Cliffy,

 

thank you for your reply and readiness to support. I checked my installation and found all DmdDevice and FlexDMD files (*.dll, *.ini, *.log.config), DmdDevice64.dll and a FlexUDMD.dll. However it contains no FlexDMDUI.exe. Where can I find it? Is a tutorial available? Further the initial set up of the table worked with a collection of pre-set  dimensions of the DMD, then I ticked the box "hide DMD" in order to release the DMD from the restricted dimensions with the result that the DMD disappeared completely and I do not know how to call the menue in order to untick the mentioned tickbox. 

 

Big thanks in advance for all replies!

Download the last version of Flex from here:

https://github.com/v...ases/tag/1.9.0

You have to be logged in Github to download the file.

 

Copy all files in your VPinMAME folder and overwrite existing ones.

 

Then run the FlexDMDUI.exe and see, if all checkmarks are green.

If not, register them.

If a .dll is missing, download the last versions from freezy for 32/64bit

https://github.com/f...nsions/releases

Also copy the file at the VPinMAME folder (except the DmdDevice.ini).

Overwrite the older files. now everything is correct.

Hi,

 

and thank you for your support. I have made the change in the registry and now the UltraDMD comes up again - ok and thank you VERY MUCH.

Further I downloaded the latest Flex version and copied it into my VPinMAMA folder, no existing file has been overwritten. But I cannot start  FlexDMDUI.exe -> the system crashes, see sceenshot with my VPinMAME and crash message.

the up to date situation with KISS 2015 is: when I do a right click on the DMD this menue opens:

 

 UltraDMD.png   37.52KB   2 downloads

 

The available dimensions of the DMD fit of course not in the respective window of the BG, further the table does not memorize the position of the DMD. On each emulation start it is at 0/0 on the playfield (the BG is right from the playfield so the coordinates have always positive values).

 

Where is my error?

Best to delete UltraDMD entirely because FlexDMD reads it and does a better job. I think all the Flex stuff is meant to be in the DMDext folder.

No, it does not, it belongs in the vpinmame folder

 

 

I think 1st he needs to go reinstall his VCC++ libraries as he is probably missing one

Latest Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One May 2023 Download | TechPowerUp

download, run install bat as ADMIN

 

2nd he needs to uninstall ultraDMD, it's dead, a walking corpse, has not and wont be updated

and cannot run any newer tables written in flex API

Aha!

 

these files should be deleted:

 

 Zwischenablage01.png   3.65KB   0 downloads

 

and these should be moved from the VPinMAME root to the DMDext directory:

 

 Zwischenablage01.png   4.04KB   0 downloads

 

Thank you in advance for confirmation or advise!

[wiesshund]

Umm no

 

Freezys AND flexDMD should both go in VPinmame folder

 

Dont delete DMDDevice.* that is freezys

but that is OLD OLD freezys, go update freezys also

[Mustang1961]

Thank you wiesshund,

 

now I lost the trace, can you correct in my previously sent post. And yes I have downloaded the VCC ++ .

 

Thank you!

as wiesshund said you need to update the vcc++ runtimes and probably your direct x runtimes as well. The latest directx web installer is here https://www.microsof...tion.aspx?id=35

I have an issue here. Everytime i start BIGUS´s Table the DMD remain static at the beginning and later after game is over is remaing still again, no high scores were shown.
Do i have to change anything in the script of the BIGUS Table ? The DMD Files seem to be exactly the same as before so i assume, that something must be changed at the tablescript ?

Do you have "Disable B2S" checked? Uncheck it and see if that helps.

Thanks, it helped but now there is a new error message B2S backglass Error. Do you think BIGUS could make an Update to this table? Because i only play on Desktop.
