I have had great success with Batocera and Visual Pinball.  I test the vpx file in Windows and check the rom file needed.  After placing that in the appropriate location the file normally launches.  I have had a few that required a .vbs file, which was also easy enough to fix.  I do have two Bally Games that refuse to work in Batocera, Playboy - 1998 and Fireball Classic 1985.  Both work fine in Windows.  I checked multiple Bally Machines from that timeframe and they all worked fine. I have also tried different versions of the bios and vpx, same results for both.  

 

Anything I am missing?  I would love to complete the collection and get these last two going.  I realize some of the Windows developed files would not run on a Linux based system, but these two seemed to be less complex.

I suggest joining the Virtual Pinball Discord and then asking this question in the #vpx-standalone room. There are multiple developers there, at least one of who uses Batocera on their personal machine.

It has to do with the vbscript that the standal9ne uses. If there isn't a patch script for the table on Jim's github page then you would need to ask at the discord
