Also, it's always worth checking the table script when high scores aren't saving. Vpinmame needs to exit properly on table close, so in the table_exit event in table script it needs something like;
Sub Table1_Exit
Controller.Stop
End Sub
No, I've tested Pinup and went back to PinballX because I like it better. However, that feature of Pinup seems very good and it would be great to incorporate it. I'm going to suggest it in that thread.
