Firstly thanks to all for your help.  Always truly amazed how this community helps each other.

I did everything Ronaldvg suggested.  Even reboot (obvious) after changes.  I also deleted the copied rom that I added a 1 onto the name(dvlsdre1.zip).  Just have the one original rom and the alias file.  Fails to load.  Cannot find rom.  The only thing I can do successfully is have both table share the same rom.

Tried several roms and they all work with both tables (Devils and Willy) but not when using the alias file.

 

Once again, have this in my alias file : dvlsdre1,dvlsdre

the cgamename in willys is dvlsdre1

its probably something dumb i am doing wrong and getting frustrated.

Question.  I had to create the VPMAlias.txt.  Is that normal?  There wasn’t already one.

Hi Goldchicco,  So i watched the video and a couple other links and I thought I followed the instructions correctly but I guess I missed something.  BTW running VPX 10.6.

This is what I did..

 

1) Copied the dvlsdre.zip rom in the rom folder and renamed the copy dvlsdre1.zip.  Now have dvlsdre.zip and dvlsdre1.zip

2) Create a VPMAlias.txt file in the vpinmame folder, with a line in it like this:

dvlsdre1, dvlsdre

3) Open the Willy’s Wonderland table (btw awesome table) and modify the script to use dvlsdre1

( cGameName = “dvlsdre1”)

 

Still get rom error gamename not found

 

Read on a forum to o this…

Search for .GameName = cGameName and add ths line below it:

NVOffset (2)

 

Couldn’t find .GameName=cGameName so I just added those 2 lines below cGameName = “dvlsdre1

.GameName = cGameName

NVOffset (2)

 

Still doesn’t load.

Hi,

Also notice Willy’s toggles off “Use Sounds” in the rom (for obvious reasons such as you don’t want Devils Dare sounds when playing Willy) and after playing Willy and going back to Devils Dare I therefore have no sounds.  Another reason for me wanting to figure out how to make them each use their own separate rom.

Awesome table.  Thanks so much.  Always truly awed by this teams mad skills.  Very well done.  I repeat very well done.

Okay how do I make it so it uses a different named ROM than Devil’s Dare so I can keep a different high score independent of each other?

 

I tried copying and renaming dvlsdre to dvlsdre1 and changed accordingly in the script to use dvlsdre1 but it now gets an error.  How can I make it so they both store a different high score?

Hi,  I love this PUP pack and I think its the best LOTR pup pack but only problem is I think I cant use it.  For some reason when I close the table the pack still plays.  I have other pup packs and it only does it on this one (others work fine).  I use Pinball X as my front end but even if I only run VPX `10.6 it still does not close he pup pack back box when exiting.  Need to reboot the whole PC every time.

Takut,

Its just this Pup pack that won’t stop.  Every once in a while I have that problem with the odd Puppack and I usually wait till someone makes a revision and the problem goes away.  Its like it doesn’t fully terminate properly.  When i exit out of LOTR VPX it shuts down VPX fine but the PUP pack stays on the backbox (3 screen) and music still plays.  If I go into task manager and kill all the PUP processes they still fire back up

Hi,

 

Firstly thanks to all who work so hard on these projects and also those that help troubleshoot.  I appreciate you all. :)

I have a 3 screen pin.  Every once in a while I have a problem where when I close out the table whether directly in VPX or in Pinball X the table closes but the PUP pack doesn’t.  Sometimes starting another Pup pack helps and sometimes this crashes VPX.

What is causing it to continue when the table is closed?  Even if I go into to task manager and close the remaining pup related processes running they fire back up.

 

I can’t kill of LOTR pup pack.

Firstly, AMAZING!  In every way.  The table itself, the amount of people who collaborated to all the extras this table has.  It’s not your average bear.

I have one problem which may not even be directly related to the table.  When I play it in VPX 10.5 it loads the UltraDMD into my 3rd monitor (3rd monitor for DMD only) perfect!  When I try to load the table in PinballX the DMD does not load in 3rd monitor but on my 1st monitor (playfield).

I have dragged it over many times and saved it to third screen but in Pinball X it always loads on playfield.  None of my other UltraDMD tables do this or has an issue.  For example AMH, Kiss 2015, JPs Ghostbusters, even Stranger Things Stranger Edition which also uses a PUP pack.

Any ideas?

Once again, thanks to all who delivered this great and addictive table.  Brava!
