Adultery

Visual Pinball is giving me the same problem... I cant install the hotfix because it says that files are missing (wtf?) I'm on SP2 2.0. I tried to also uninstall and reinstall but unfortunately I can't even remove it because it says programs rely on it. Damn, guess I'm stuck for now.

As far as the Black Eyed Peas went, my 9 year old son coulda done a better job mastering the audio! I hate eminem (but that's the juggalo in me) so the ad was largely unoticed. I was pretty into the game and wasn't really moved by the ads this year. I did like seeing Roseanne take a log to the gut however!

Woah that doesn't sound easy... In the mean time I will try that hotfix. Thanks guys!

If you ever get past the tweaking part anyways! Some of us just never seem to finish our projects enough to just sit and enjoy it (like me!)

I think the best route to go here is start with a new install of Visual Pinball and we can take it from there. If you do a clean install it will put it under the Program Files folder (likely a default startup will help us get past the problem much quicker). If you don't change any paths from the default we can make an INI that will work for you based on your other one This will also solve our miscommunication issues.

Hey all. I've ben having GameEx crash at unusual times lately and have to shut down using the Task Manager. Thee log shows nothing at al... last problem occured when I was right in the middle of a pinball game. Here's the event viewer report: And here's another one from right at the same time: And, of course, the log file: It also crashes during the attract mode sometimes (but not always). Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm looks like you're missing an image... is it your intro logo?

Okay so the confusion seens to be in the roms. Roms and tables are two different things here. Think of the table roms more as a bios rom for mame. These are required to play the table but don't include the actual table. Table scripts would be more like the mame rom you would select to play. You will need both roms (bios files) and scripts (visual basic script which contains the actual table and functions itself). Table scripts need to be unzipped.

I didn't mean to step on any toes here (sorry Freq). I know Visual Pinball is extremely taxing to get set up just right, and I was working with the presumption that he started by importing the native INI file. For me anyways, the DMD and tables won't load correctly unless I do it just this way: [ROOT]visualpinball (vpinball.exe) [/]Tables (script.vbs and table.vpt files) [/]Roms (table roms zipped) ROMPath=C:/vpinball/tables WorkingPath=C:/vpinball/Tables CommandLine=../vpinball.exe -play -"[ROMFile]" Others with different setups may be right, but I've never had any luck doing this any other method than what's already in the preconfigured ini.

Boy yours is way different from my setup. I put the table ROMs (like the DMD display stuff and the sounds etc that are actually built into a real table) in the Roms folder and the actual tables (the vpt files) and script (vbs) files in the tables folder. Then I make the tables folder the working path. Then if that's how you approach it you'll need to do this: ../vpinball.exe -play -"[ROMFile]" You see, if you set your working path to aything but the folder your EXE is in, you need the command line to go up a directory. If you made your working path "visualpinball" which is where I assume the EXE is, you won't need the ../ in front. K, let me jump over to the cab and copy my config quick so you can see what I have (Just got done playing Addams Family so I know my config works for sure). .:EDIT:. Here's my Visual Pinball INI:

Also posting a log file after the crash may help us to determine what's going wrong here.

Also: WorkingPath=C:\visualpinball\ should be: WorkingPath=C:\visualpinball\tables and Command=../vpinball.exe -play -"[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" should be: Command=../vpinball.exe -play -"[ROMFILE]" Scripts and tables should be in the "tables" folder or it may not work. If you can get it to run with the table files outside of the tables folder, then you need to remove the ../ before the executable, however I don't recommend this method. You can still try it though: Command=../vpinball.exe -play -"[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" will be Command=vpinball.exe -play -"[ROMFILE]"

Also try leaving show desktop to 'on' in case you're getting a popup window of some sort.

What do you mean by that? Are you trying to configure games within GameEx?

I would just copy/paste your emulator into another folder and change the settings. I actually do this with VBA for gbc and advanced games. Then you can put the games in a folder that use that BIOS with the emulator changes made. Finally you can add them all to an emulator group so they appear in one list. As for using the CDs, I don't think there's a command line argument to look for a CD, but I'm fairly new to SSF. I'm certain there isn't one for Magic Engine, and I use pSX and I know that emulator doesn't.

Maybe it's under advanced emulator config somewhere?

If we had chat built into the furum I bet lots of people would use it. Wonder if there's a free IPB mod out there for that?

You can always PM one of us for a chat if we're around the forum. Most if not all of us probably wouldn't mind trying to answer your questions. No IRC channel for GameEx that I'm aware of. Not sure anyone here has time to keep up with a chat server other than the java one integrated into the page.

You're not gonna like this answer, but... Long story short, ZiNc is kind of a bitch to get running. You're gonna need some kind of a loader that calls controller configs on a per game basis. Or at least a per bios basis. I wish I could help more, but the person that helped me on this is no longer among us, and his last wish was to have all his files removed. Among them was an auto it script that did exactly what you need to do here, and since he took off ZiNc has never worked properly for me. Sorry friend, but you'll need to find someone with scripting skills.

Atari has never been a stranger to bilking the American public out of their hard earned cash, that's for sure!

I think he had run MAME with no sound set up in GameEx. /end shot in dark

Here's my log after a YouTube video crashed it. Imagine my disappointment that I never got it to load Samwell's What What (In The Butt).

^^Me too but graphics wise it really looks like 2600 to me.

I'm not out of the woods yet I'm afraid. I decided to try installing Dolphin on my machine. Perhaps it's a bit ambitious, I don't know. We'll see.

Holy crap I got it! Nevermind me! I used a setup I found here, made some changes and all is right in the world again. I'll post a copy of my new INI in case anyone needs to see it in the future: Now on to Dreamcast, lord help me!
