Metallica line 93 error

[Genesis38]

Hello everyone,

I am not one to post without doing some extensive reading, but I am in need of some help with the Metallica Stern table. When launching the game, I receive an error on line 93, Gamename not found. Not sure why this is occurring as my Sam build, PinMame are both up to date, the rom is named properly and it played fine some time ago. Any ideas on how to get it running again? This is what shows on line 93: .GameName = cGameName Rom is named mtl_170h

Thanks in advance.

mtl_170h  No longer used in vpinmame

Down new rom
Metallica Premium 1.80 Game Code
https://sternpinball.com/support/game-code/
zip it up

call it — mtl_180h

Change the script

Thank you outhere. I will give it a try and report back.

As far as changing the script, I am assuming only the 2 lines near the top that show rom version or do I need to modify line 93 as well?

Comment out one of the top two “Const cgameName” so only one is active, and in that you change the rom name.

Thank you fellows. I actually commented one of the lines at the top of the script as suggested using the old mtl_170h rom and now the table loads fine. Using the new mtl_180h rom file (bin named mtl180le.bin inside the zip), gives me a rom path error message, so not sure what I could be doing wrong. It’s working, but would like to update the rom if it’s beneficial.

I’m glad I stumbles upon this thread. I had not played Metallica for some time, but I do like the table —and I”m a big Metallica fan. Genesis—all I did was download the file from the Stern site–compressed it to zip file and renamed it appropriately. No need to change anything inside the file

I would say it is not beneficial up upgrade to mtl180. Sure, new rule set that is easier and some different lights etc. But, there is no FastFlip hack for VPM so you go back to having the flippers fluctuate between 0ms and 20ms response time. I’ve tested 180 myself to see what changed, but, until colored patch exists, Rob has said he isn’t putting the effort into making 180 optimized.

Tried loading and with the rom mtl_180h it does not start. I remove the h and it starts but the flippers stick.

What am I doing wrong?

I could not find the h version. Can you add the link to that rom? I find the 170 only. Must be missing something obvious.

Thanks. So this will allow me to use the 180 file or 170 or do I still need to find the h version?

180 file or 170 are for the PRO games
And 180h or 170h are for the LE version
