Somebody owns the IP. As has been the case since VP first came out twenty years ago. Community does what it does until Planetary Pinball decides to say enough is enough. Worst that will happen is a takedown notice/C&D. It is what it is. Since not much has happened (a few incidences here and there) in twenty years then maybe nothing will happen.…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere saying if the work is shared online Williams can revoke his license even if he has nothing to do with the work being shared. I would never want to jeopordize someone els…

Ok, but if you were attempting to use custom display images rather than default then you might need the alternate version of the Designer. Granted, the project I used it for was just for two screen support:

It’s been a few years. As far as I remember, in the…[Read more]

No issues with defining an empty LED image for a blank in regular V1.2 Designer?

stwr_104.zip is the parent set. Get that one at VPU and you should be set. If not, let me know and I’ll post the correct set. Clone sets tend to have only what ROMs are different from the parent set. But if you are not using a clone then you should not need to download every Star Wars set.

Was looking for this again and found it. AFAIK this is the latest version of B2S Designer and it is not in the usual download locations. Just a bugfix that allows import of an empty LED image. But it is an update from V1.2.

My CPU is just on the wrong side of minimum requirements for VR. No upgrade path for my motherboard. Too old. For me, that means new CPU, new motherboard, new CPU cooler, probably new memory modules. GPU might carryover if I buy the right bus. All that before even looking at headsets, etc. Yeah, it’s going to be a long time before I’ll be trying…[Read more]

I would not point the finger at VPF for SAMbuild at this point. After all, VPF supports SAM tables now. It’s more that VPinMAMEdev themselves don’t want to deal with the hassle. They have a happy home. SAMbuild has a happy home. Users know where to find what they need. No problem.

As for Doctor Who, there was a new dump of the L-2 sound rom where…[Read more]

If you are using 3.3beta then this:

In other words, this is the same thing four other people have suggested doing on this page alone.

Update your ROM set!

With PinballX it is possible to display German characters in a USA local environment by use of Unicode character codes in the xml database.

Ex.

<description>Motörhead</description>

It doesn’t look like I had to change the file name for PinballX to match with the same name in the gamename tag. I still have the umlaut in the file name.

I don’t…[Read more]

Maybe popper can’t match on file names/table names with umlauts.

Yep, the table seems to be based on V1.0. The script does not have the flipper lag fix. UncleWilly never updated the table here at VPinball. His latest version is at VPForums:

https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=12401

In the description or installation upload tab, link to suggested tracks on youtube and what to name them to work with the table script.

Then users proceed from there. Can use a downloader or whatever to rip the track, but then it is on users to download the track if they want it.

Pretty simple for most music if it is not too obscure.

According to IPDB

Thanks for this!

This must be another one that got lost with the VPU upgrade. Can you re-up?

Sound rom for Doctor Who was updated in latest beta. Redownload dw_l2 from VPUniverse whenever it is back online. Or revert back to VPinMAME 3.2 for the time being.
