Hi community, I wanted to try out the Metallica table mod by Bigus—specifically *Metallica Premium Monsters (Stern 2013)_Bigus(MOD) 3.0*. I've tried several ROMs but haven't found the right one; could someone point me in the right direction to find the one that works? Thanks.

Hi

 

By the script line, the ROM is "mtl180h" but there is a option commented to "mtl170hc"

Which window ROM name message is up on screen?

Hello Emmanoel 229, thanks for responding to my call for help.

Game ROM mtl_180h (Metallica Limited Edition V11.08.0) invalid

Hi

 

I think you meant V1.08.0

Which Vpinmame version?

If you start the Table without any Metallica roms, the table will tell you which one it wants (that is missing). Get that one.

 

Once you place it, you can start the vPinMame setup.exe program (or setup64.exe if running VPX 64-bit) ... and you can "test" the rom-set.zip before trying to use it for real.

1. Run game to determine correct ROM needed

2. Download the .bin file from the STERN ROM page

3. Rename the .bin file to match what you found in step 1

4. Zip the .bin file into a same-named .zip file

5. Place the .zip file into the Visual Pinball roms folder

 

The main issue is that only the newest ROMs for a particular Stern table are likely to be available on their ROM page. You may or may not have compatibility issues with older tables. Other good sites are vpuniverse and pinballnirvana (both require a login, of course.)

Hello community, thanks ... K88dad Tesla Emanoel299 for the help with getting the Metallica table running. After downloading several ROMs and changing their format to .zip without success, I finally found the solution. A user on vpuniverse.com shared a ROM for the Metallica table that was already converted to .zip; I downloaded it, and the table worked perfectly.

 

Thanks again for your help.K88dad Tesla Emanoel299 Best regards, and have a great day, pinball community.

Some Stern tables need to be download from oficial stern site in data code.

Then only ziped.

I´m glad that you fix your issue.

Hi Emanoel. I wanted to ask you: are you using FlexDMD 1.9.1? I’ve been wanting to play tables like the *Game of Thrones* one by VPW for a while, but I keep getting an error. Could it be because I have FlexDMD 1.9.0 installed with VPX 1.8.0? It’s strange, though—it won't let me download the latest version (FlexDMD 1.9.1) because it detects a virus in the file. Do you know anything about that? Anyway, thanks for your help.

 

By the way, the 1992 *Doctor Who* is one of my favorite tables.

Hi, K88dad thanks for the valuable advice on how to handle Stern ROMs—converting them from .bin to .zip. I was doing something wrong, as I kept getting a "CORRUPT ROM" error... but I managed to get the ROM and finally get Metallica working. Thanks!
