Hello I am new to visual pinball. I have had an arcade machine for a while and decided to try it out. I have a bunch of tables loaded and most of them run fine. A few of them did not run at all or just flashed on the screen. I learned that some of them do not run in the stand alone version of VPX. I thought using scripts would get them working. I found scripts for some of the tables I have on the gethub. Is it just not possible to run tables that do not work in the stand alone version?

I put the vbs scripts named the same in the roms folder of the game and now none of them don't run. What am I doing wrong? Most of them ran before the vbs scripts. I had a few, Punchout, Ramones that never ran so I though vbs scrips would do the trick. I see that on the getub there were regular .vbs, original and patched I used the .vbs, do I need the other ones? Any advice? Thanks. Here is what the log says for one of the games.

Hello.

 

I'm a VPX dev - specifically the version you're using in Batocera.  I don't really stay active in this forum, unless I see a new topic email that catches my attention. 

 

We have a very active Discord channel #vpx-standalone on the Virtual Pinball Chat server.  There are tons of people that can answer these kinds of questions usually pretty quickly.

 

Anyway, for tables that seem to "crash" right away, we do have the script repo at: https://github.com/j...ndalone-scripts

 

Only take the ".vbs" file, and put it right next to the table.  The other files are just to help other table authors. 

 

Most modern tables already know about patches needed, so the usually work right away.

Hello, thank you for the quick reply. I used those stand alone scripts from the site you posted and they did not work and I got the error below. I have never used discord before, but I can try and get on there and ask those folks. Thanks again.
