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.

That’s an old post and is Williams even still around to back up a C&D

There is an owner of Williams pinball assets and they have and will protect their IP. It is worth something. A lot, actually. License lent to Zen Pinball to create virtual versions of Williams/Bally tables. Licensed after market mods, ColorDMD, replacement parts. R…[Read more]

Hi there,

So, my dmd issues are fixed. No lag or slowdown.

I use twd_160 and it works fine. Pupppack + muted rom is fully works. But i dont have the Fastflip support.

If i use the 160LE rom from stern website, it works fine, fastflips are working great. But the rom music and the pup pack music work at the same time. So it sucks.…

One area of PuP I can tell you that won’t be possible to “flip” is the text for PUPDMD etc… so examples would be HP or STSE or any of my PinEvent FP tables mods.

PuP uses vlc to play videos, but the text works as a separate layer and uses windows fonts,etc. So I don’t think you can have that flipped directly.

I have just rece…

In the meantime, I wrote a couple of bat files based on the FFMPEG converter tools by @TerryRed. Tested with the Monster Bash PuPPack and it seems to work fine.

Pick up the tool set here:

https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/terryreds-ffmpeg-video-converter-scripts/

add the bat files to the tool set and use the same way as the other scripts.

Thanks for this. I’ve never gotten a PupPack using DMD capture to work. I haven’t really worked too hard to make it happen until now, but at least now I know why I haven’t been able to get any of them working on my P2k style cab. I’ll point @freezy to this thread and see if he can fix this for us now that he is currently working on dmdext again.

Factory reproduction instruction card images for front-ends available here:

It should not require VPUniverse to be up for Install CCC.bat to execute correctly. The links that the bat file accesses are to other domains.

You can get helvetica fonts here:

I’ve used them in various pinball-related projects. If they are clones then they look really good.

Current color patch is for V1.61. There is no color patch for V1.62. At least none that I’m aware of. It is not trivial to update a patch for a code update. Guess the bug fixes were not worth the trouble to re-do the work.

There are some patches that sub the stock soundtrack with orchestrations from the JJ Abrams films:

Thanks for the playfield image. Most of it still looks like Helvetica Black. Only saying looks like. I haven’t tried to overlay in InDesign or Illustrator but if I did it would be doable to precisely adjust the spacing between glyphs to match the source image.

The exceptions are the bonus multiplier inserts, the “To Light Letters:” instructions,…[Read more]

Maybe Helvetica Neue Black

I’m going by the spinner images. Harder for me to call it some other font type based on the table reference photo attached above. Maybe you can attach one of the HD playfield images?

If someone can identify the font it might make things easier as well.

I’ll venture that it is Helvetica Black.

Fastflips is generally fine. The issue was about adding Fastflips support for the new Stern Iron Man game code only. You can use the latest available SAMBuild for Mystery Castle.

Maybe https://github.com/sverrewl/vpxtable_scripts would be a good centralized place to put upscaled resources by specific table, if it is just a matter of swapping out files in the table editor.

Or in resources section here if the dimensions/size are verified correct (archival quality source for future projected, VPE, etc.)

The MAME side does have some organized efforts to acquire game code. Could be similar effort put together for resources.

VPX does not execute roms itself. It is VPinMAME that is the emulator. VPinMAME is a pinball specific derivation of the MAME project. MAME as an emulator and as such it is legal software. The vast majority of the time, the game code is covered under copyright. Downloading/possessing game code when you don’t own the actual machine is likely a…[Read more]
