Visual Pinball Installation / Integration in GameEx

[ranzo]

Hello Community,

I am just extending my Full Mame Installation Guide and would like to extend it with a new chapter "Visual Pinball" and I need Your help because it does not work as expected...what I did :

1. Downloaded Visual Pinball and extracted on D:\Emulators\Visual Pinball (Version 9.0.3)

2. Downloaded Visual PinMAME and extracted to D:\Emulaotrs\VPINMAME (Version 2.1)

3. Downloaded Visual Pinball Launcher to D:\Emulators\Visual Pinball V 3.02

For Visual Pinball : Downloaded all Tables to D:\Emulators\Visual Pinball\Tables

For VPINMAME : Downloaded all ROMS to D:\Emulaotrs\VPINMAME

4. I start the Visual Pinball Launcher and he starts to checkk all Tables -> OK

5. I double-click a Table -> I have to accept the Agreement and he starts

So, my basic configuration is working but some questions are left :

1. Is the actual configuration ok ? Is that the best way to get the Flippers running ?

2. How can I remove the Agreement when I start a table ?

3. When I Start the table "Attack from Mars", I get the message :

Script Error

Line: 132

Object does not support this property or method: Table1.Slope

4. How can I integrate it in GameEx ? Will it recognized just as a normal Emulator ?

5. Will I use the VPLauncher or will I see directly the Tables in GameEx ?

6. When I am in a table, I must push "ESC" and he askes me If I really would like to do that...can I supress that ?

I already tried to search for these topics here but I could not get a Step-By-Step guide or I was just too stupid to see it, sorry...

So as I wrote, I will extend the Guide with the Pinball Sektion when everything is running...

Your script error message is due to a table being created for a different version of vp. You can use Tom's vploader to skip the disclaimer and the exit confirmation too. That app goes into 'also launch' and your vpinball.exe goes into the command line box.

Gameex will display tables the same way it does for emulator roms. I use joysticks on my cab currently so I use Joy2Key to map the flippers to the gamepad. When my iPac goes in and I start using a cpanel, I will start using GameEx's advanced config to map buttons to flippers.

I'm always happy to answer any questions you have, so feel free to ask away.

Hi,

Thanks for You quick answer !!

1. Do You know a location where I can get the tables with the correct versions ? As I know, it must always be the correct version to the application...

2. Where can I download vploader ? I checked the download section (Dpwnloads but could not find it... Google does also not give me an answer

3. So to configure Pinmame, You use the emulators section in the gameex.ini ? Maybe You could post Your emulator section of the ini file here ?

Bye,

André

One other question :

Is Future Pinball the better emulator and can I use it with Gameex ?

[Draco1962]

You can find the vploader.exe program under \GameEx\LOADERS

For ease of installation, Future Pinball is my choice and, yes, you can use it with GameEx.

Sorry, but I think I am too stupid to run that...I just read for over 1 hour articles about running the simulation, but it will not work. Could You please give me a step-by-step instrcution to get this running. As far as I know now :

1. Download Visual Pinball (which version ? Full version to install or just the file ? -> My link

2. Download Visual Pinmame -> My link

3. Create 2 Folder : 1. Visual Pinball / 2. Visual PinMAME

4. Extract the files in the corresponding folders

For Visual Pinball

1. Create a folder called "tables"

2. Copy Your downloaded table (e.g. Attack from Mars) into that folder -> My link

For Visual PinMAME

1. Start the Setup.exe file in the folder

2. Click on "Install" and leave the default

3. Download the scripts -> My link

OK, where must I put the scripts ? What is missing ? When I start VPinball908.exe, I load teh table and hit F5 to play, and then I get a bunch of error messages...please help...I really get insane with that stuff...

Just one question, Do you have the rom files that go with the table?

[Adultery]

Ahh yes I forgot. You'll need the table ROMs for these!

I finally got this thing to work !!

Sure I had the tables...this is why I posted the links to the files...

The problem was WHERE to save the vbs scripts...and now after trying, they have to be put in the tables folder...

So now everything is working WITHOUT using gameex. Now I would like to integrate it with gameex.

Could You please tell me what exactly I have to do so that I can see and start it in gameex ?

Thanx in advance !!

André
