Greetings,

 

Trying to use new file structure but can't seem to get the path right. Did a lot of searching for help, but no luck. Current attempt:

 

C:\USERS\DLK\DOCUMENTS\TABLES

        \24

        24 (Stern 2009) v.2.4.vpx

            \PINMAME

                 \ROMS 

                  twenty4_150.zip

 

The path in PINMAME is set to: C:\USERS\DLK\DOCUMENTS\TABLES but testing returns the "ROM set is missing" message.

 

TIA for any suggestions.

 

DD.

Hi

 

The default Path is:

 

C:\Visual Pinball\Vpinmame\Roms

C:\Visual Pinball\Tables

 

I would not change these default path

 

also, you can try run Vpinmame Setup64.exe. There, you can change some of them

Hi,

 

Appreciate the reply, but I'm attempting so set things up under the new scheme in 8.0.1 where there is a separate folder for each table which contains the ROMs. NVRAM, music, etc.

 

Thanks, 

 

DD

I've always heard that you never use any "system provided" folders for installing anything VP related (so I don't).

 

This means no use of C:\Users\  ,  C:\Program Files\  ,  C:\Program Files (x86)\  , etc ...

Weird (sounds like the Batocera way) but whatever ...

 

Try C:\VPX\  ,  or C:\VPX801\  ,,, something like that   ... generic or specific as you choose.
