First of all, wanted to introduce myself as I have just recently taken the "plunge" into running VPins after reminiscing about the days I spent playing with a Tomy Atomic Arcade tabletop my brother and I found at a Goodwill decades ago.

 

I've always liked pinball, but always felt like tables just ate through my precious few quarters too fast as a kid so never got 'gud'.

 

Fast forward and I found PinballFX on Steam and then started seeing YouTube suggestions about Mame-based vpins and well, here I am.

 

Now, the ask...

 

So my main desktop is a stock Ubuntu 22.04 system running on an Intel i5 CPU with a GTX 1080 and I decided to give the vpinball-standalone build a try and have gotten many tables running nicely (albeit with no b2s yet, but that isn't a priority).

 

However a few fail to 'boot' up with the messages about

 

  CodeViewer::OnScriptError@...
  CodeViewer::AppendLastErrorTextW@...

 

And before I submit a bug on that project's github page, I thought I should ask around here for recommendations since I have seen some linux/android related posts on here.

 

Here are a few tables this happens tool and the output I got:

Have any of you encountered this before?

Do you happen also to use Ubuntu?

If so how did you get around it?

 

Thanks in advance.

Well I might have found my work around - basically I just search and found other folks' vpx implementations of the same tables and got 2 of these 3 up and running so far.

Take a look here : https://github.com/j...ndalone-scripts

 

I juste copy patch file in my "vpinball_flooder/scripts/" and... it's work !

[earbiter]

Last I DL them there were 162 patches aka called sidecars that are patches against tables to allow fixes for the VBS emulation issues. 

 

You can see if your problem tables are patched here https://github.com/j...ndalone-scripts - I do see BK2000 and Indy!

 

There are opened tickets on wine for some of these issues.  If they ever get fixed there then it will apply to new standalone VP builds and the patches wont be needed.  You can see how many are still outstanding here https://github.com/v...E.md#background

 

I have a script I wrote with a GUI file selector to load/launch Standalone VP and FP tables if you want it..
